Tom, Using Linux to proxy an SSL connection is easy. The Linux can be a PC behind your firewall, a Linux on z system, whatever ...
Symbion SSL Proxy (open source for Linux/Unix/Unixware) to start the proxy ./ssl_proxy -m <max connections> -s <listen address> -c <mainframe address (client address )> -C <certificate file> -K <key file> for example ./ssl_proxy -m 50 -s 192.168.1.226:2023 -c 172.16.0.10:23 -C sslproxy.pem -K sslproxy.key This will listen on port 2023 for an SSL connection and proxy it in the clear to port 23. This example creates an easy to use SSL TN3270(E) connection. You can do the same thing for an MQ Series and other types of connections. Just change the IP addresses and port numbers.
