For example, we need to transfer files between two iSeries' and would like to secure the FTP transfer with SSL." Search400.com security expert Carol Woodbury responds. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid483401_tax288767,00.html SSL Connection/time outs "BillBruce" is using Client Access with a digital certificate, and connecting through the Internet via SSL port 992. His users are timing out after about seven or eight minutes of inactivity. They're not simply getting another signon screen, they're actually disconnecting. He turned to the OS/400 Discussion Forum for some help. Thankfully, site expert Tim Granatir was around to offer some advice. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?msgInContext@;30.PeYsaYEpcqR^6@.ee84638/1756 Access WebSphere from multiple HTTP servers Did you know you can access the WebSphere Application Server from multiple HTTP servers running on the same or different iSeries machines? That's something you may want to consider if you want to isolate the compute-intensive resources of WebSphere Application Server or if you want to isolate WebSphere resources from user access for security reasons. E-business expert Bob Cancilla shows you -- step by step -- how to do it. http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci823685,00.html Working with SSL for Client Access Express Search400.com member Jim Norbut has CA Express installed on his iSeries. He configured his SSL Telnet Server for SSL access. After looking at the CA Express setup, he felt he should've been able to go into "Selective Setup" and check off SSL access. But it didn't show up on the list? He posted his question in Search400.com's WebSphere/Web Developement Forum for advice. Read what some of the users had to say. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?msgInContext@;24.EcGKakesu5y.1@.ee84638/415 ___________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FREE BOOK EXCERPT | IBM eServer iSeries: Built for e-business Search400.com would like to offer our members the opportunity to download for free the first chapter of IBM eServer iSeries: Built for e-business written by Bob Cancilla and published by IBM Press.
