There is also an article in the same place that explains how to set wIntegrate to use SSH via the dialer menu (using PuTTY). It's a bit clunky at first but it does work.
I also raised the lack of SSH support with IBM and their attitude is that SSL is a much better solution than SSH. Not what the rest of the industry would seem to think, I would like to see a 6.1 release with SSH support (anyone listening!!) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 November 2004 03:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Unclassified RE: [U2] SSH and wIntegrate > Ken wants SSH, but wIntegrate and the U2 server products > support SSL. > > Almost every other telnet client available - even free > ones like TeraTerm - supports SSH, but wIntegrate & > Dynamic Connect don't.

Thanks Mike, Indeed, that is how it is. My client would like to use SSH. Indeed, they currently have telnetd switched off on their new boxes and they don't want to start it up unless absolutely necessary. I found an article ( http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=686&context=SSKJMP&q1=SSH&ui d=swg21081430&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en )on the IBM web site which included the following info: ----- wIntegrate version 5.1.0 and later supports the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol for secure connections to the host. There are no plans to officially support SSH (Secure SHell or Secure Socket Shell) which is another way to secure communications. SSH is incompatible with SSL. SSL is a protocol implemented in the communications layer so most TCP/IP processes can support it. For example, HTTPS and FTPS are SSL-secured implementations of HTTP and FTP. In wIntegrate we use SSL with the Telnet process. SSL is a much better solution than SSH and will be used by the U2 databases for secure connections. ----- I'm particularly interested in the line "In wIntegrate we use SSL with the Telnet process". does anyone know what that relly means? How does one configure telnetd on a UNIX box (Solaris 9 to be specific) to accept SSL connections and talk to wIntegrate. Further, if this can be done, can we make sure that ONLY SSL connections are accepted?
