A couple of good references:

This goes through the host system tasks of creating certificate authority,
certificates, and assigning them to application (Telnet).

Chapter 4 in this Redbook seems a good summary of Client Access (PC side)
of SSL setup.

No, there is a command line program you can run that toggles the telnet

certificates.  It affects new connections and will not kill off current
connections.

I haven't figured out how to get any client to present a valid certificate
yet, though.
