Has anyone had any success setting up wIntegrate 5.1 to connect to a
uniVerse 10.1 server using the Telnet via SSL feature.
I have not done it but here is a write up IBM put out in a newsletter on 
how to make a SSH tunnel.  I think this is what you were looking for as 
opposed to SSL.

Using SSH security with wIntegrate

DESCRIPTION:

*Secure Shell (SSH), sometimes known as Secure Socket Shell,
is a Unix-based command interface and protocol for securely
getting access to a remote computer. It is widely used by
network administrators to control Web and other kinds of
servers remotely. SSH is actually a suite of three utilities -
slogin, ssh, and scp - that are secure versions of the earlier
UNIX utilities, rlogin, rsh, and rcp. SSH commands are encrypted
and secure in several ways. Both ends of the client/server
connection are authenticated using a digital certificate,
and passwords are protected by being encrypted.
SSH uses RSA public key cryptography for both connection and
authentication. Encryption algorithms include Blowfish, DES,
and IDEA. IDEA is the default.
*from searchSecurity.com

wIntegrate does not provide support for SSH, however, you
can download a free implementation of telnet and SSH for
Windows, then modify the wIntegrate Dialer script to use it.

PuTTY

PuTTY is a free Win32 telnet/SSH client that can be downloaded
from the following URL:
http://www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/software/track0.cgi?i=17663&c=26923&o=11&ef=T&cn=1456097

Install it to the wIntegrate home directory.

DIALER.WIS

Using any text editor, modify \<wIntegrate
home>\wintsys\script\dialer.wis.
To have the Dialer start automatically when you open the
session, add the entry 'wIntsys\Script\Dialer.wis' to
the list of scripts to load. Otherwise, simply click
Run | Dialer on the wIntegrate menu.
To use SSH, start a wIntegrate session. In the Dialer
dialog, select an entry that has a number to dial in the format:
SSH_IP_address:Port:Telnet_IP_address

For example,

999.999.999.999:22:999.999.999.999

PuTTY starts and you login to the system running SSH on
the server side. Once you have logged in via PuTTY, access
the wIntegrate session window. Press return to establish
a connection to the telnet IP address.
This will allow you to easily implement a secure connection
using SSH.
**Note, PuTTY is not provided nor supported by IBM.
