Debian SSL Server Enabler is a preconfigured mainframe Linux system, developed by Sine Nomine Associates and offered for free download, that enables the use of the IBM VM SSL code shipped with z/VM 4.3 and 4.4. It is generated in a manner such that it can be used only for this single purpose, and cannot be used for general-purpose Linux functions.
