Issue/Introduction:

Cust are currently running NetMaster r12.2 on z/OS 2.2. RACF group has
informed that they would like to convert to KDFAES. Cust are in the plan-
ning stages to prepare to convert from their current legacy encryption
standard to AES (RACF uses KDFAES) for their mainframe LPARs.

Is there a concern for NetMaster r12.2? Is there any maintenance required
for support of KDFAES?

Environment:

OS: z/OS.

Resolution:

This answer is from NetMaster L2 and from NetMaster Development:

There is nothing that cust have to do in regards to NetMaster--we are
