RE: Secure FTP Client & DCM & Certificates

I am running into the same issue.  That is why I have been trying to add
their certificate to our system.  But the problem I am having it the root
certificate is self signed and not in our CA and I have not been able to
import it.  What you have to do is start DCM and select *System.  Then
import the CA.  Not at the office so I do not have all the necessary steps
in front of me.  If you are successful, please post the steps to this list.

I am attempting to set up an SSL FTP connection to EDS using the AS/400 FTP
client.  We are at v5r2.  Most of the references I have found so far are for
setting up a secure server.

I am able to contact the EDS FTP server.  I get the 'Welcome' message and an
'AUTH OK' message.  At the point the connection hangs and eventually times
out.  In a windows client, I believe this is where the server is offering a
certificate for the client to accept.  My problem right now is how to
simulate this on the 400.

I have created the *SYSTEM certificate store.  I *think* I need to get EDS
to send me a copy of their certificate in a text file which I would then
import using 'Manage Certificates' in DCM.

I also don't understand the idea of managing applications and trust list.
Do I define a single application for SSL FTP or a separate one for each use.
But how do I tell it what application to use when the FTP is called?

Any help will be gratefully accepted.  Unfortunately, I need to get this
working by the end of the week!
