We are trying to implement TCT with CDS between our TS7700 and DS8K, creating an internal cloud storage provider for z/OS.

What I'm struggling with is the Key and Secret Key information. I'm not sure where these come from, or which devices these need to be loaded onto.

The network connection panel in ISMF requires a SSL key. Do I generate this myself, is it loaded onto the DS8K and z/OS, or does the TS7700 also need it?

SSL Version: TLSV12 
SSL Key:  

The CDA panel requires a Key, and Secret Key. I don't know where these comes from, or where they need to be loaded onto? What do I do with these keys once I have them?
