You can configure default values for various TLS properties in the mf-client.dat file. When a TLS-enabled MFCC client is started, the file is checked for default values. If the client does not specify a value for a property, the value from the file is used instead.
By default, the mf-client.dat file is located in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\bin or \bin64 directory (Windows), or $COBDIR/bin folder (UNIX). The MFC_CONFIG environment variable can be used to specify a different configuration file.
