If you leave TN3270 and FTP out of the picture AT/TLS works very well under V1R8. I have tried TN3270 using AT/TLS and it worked OK, but not willing to try production until we get to V1R9.

We also haven't set it up under 1.8 because of that cautionary statement, but I've heard a pretty good explanation of that statement. (Better than I can describe it.) AT/TLS supposedly works under 1.8, but the 1.8 Tn3270 and FTP servers are not AT/TLS-aware until 1.9. They can't tell that they are running under AT/TLS so you cannot cleanly move their TLS support into AT/TLS. I think I heard that you actually *could* move it into AT/TLS, but that you'll have to change it again when you get to 1.9 or later. It sounds like you can implement 1.8 AT/TLS support for other applications but we haven't tried. >... >I am looking for anyone that has experience with doing it in a >test/production environment. >... I'd be interested in hearing that, too.
