Configuring JCLCHECK REST service to run without SSL

Products

• JCLCheck Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

The JCLCheck Workload Automation REST API is distributed via JCLCheck PTF #SO15115. 

The configuration of the JCLCheck REST API requires the users to enable a secure TLS/HTTPS connection.  In some cases, the users might not want to use KeyStore but prefer to secure the connection using z/OS AT-TLS.  This Knowledge Base article provides an example of a jclcheck.yml configuration file to allow the JCLCheck REST service to start without SSL (i.e., bypass KeyStore).  JCLCheck REST service running without SSL would respond to requests via an http://... type of URL.
