Hi, gang.
Does anybody have a working example of using PCOMM 5.8 (on windows XP)
making a secure SSL connection to a VM host that has the SSLSERV server
installed that they would be willing to share?
So far, I have done the following:
1) installed the SSL Server, per IBM instructions. It starts up as expected.
2) created a self signed certificate, using:
SSLadmin SELF filename A 512 label
where filename has the X509INFO data, that I created myself. "label" is
an 8 character label name. SSLSERV accepts this command without problem.
The SSLESERV is restarted to pick up the change.
3) update the PROFILE TCPIP file to allow for SSL protection on port
xxxxx for TN3270 access.
PORT
xxxxx TCP INTCLIEN SECURE label ; TELNET Server
where "label" is the same as the label given in step 2. TCPIP is restarted.
4) an SSLADMIN QUERY CERT * does show the self signed certificate as
being in the database.
5) I have downloaded to my Windows XP workstation the "filename
X509CERT" file that is output by step 2. I have converted the base
64-encoded file to a purely binary one.
Now I'm stuck.....how to I get PCOMM to connect to the VM host, using my
self signed certificate? Any help gratefully appreciated.
Have a good one, to.
