Yes.

Why are you asking?

To use dbaccess with IDS ssl protocol, dbaccess must be set up like
any other client tool i.e., a client key db file must be created in
$INFORMIXDIR/etc using the gsk7capicmd application, etc. RTFM for SSL
use with (Windows) client applications and adjust for Unix/Linux.

To use dbaccess with IDS ssl protocol, dbaccess must be set up like

$INFORMIXDIR/etc using the gsk7capicmd application, etc.  RTFM for SSL
use with (Windows) client applications and adjust for Unix/Linux.

Also, every single individual user must use the SAME client keystore
for root certificates, defaulting to location ${INFORMIXDIR}/etc.
But when the repository is created by user 'informix', its permissions
are read/write by user 'informix' only, so it needs
to be chmod'ed. I wasn't able to find an alternative in the
documentation (IBM Informix Security Guide Version 11.50,
Ch. 2 "Network Data Encryption," Sect. "Secure Sockets Layer
Protocol"), though the location can be specified in the
conssl.cfg file which, in turn, must be located in ${INFORMIXDIR}/etc.

I'd be exceedingly happy to be corrected on this last. Should every
client user reference the same keystore?
