RE: HELP with DCM and ADMIN HTTP server

First the DCM issues;  Now that you created your system store, create a
local CA.  Then open your system store and create a certificate using
the local CA.  This is when you assign it to the application.  Make sure
you give it a valid URL in the common name or the clients will error.
You will have to re-start your application, telnet server, after you
assign the certificate.  If port 992 is not listening, you may be able
to just issue the start command and see if it opens port 992.  If so,
you are ready to rock n roll.

Now for the admin server.  It listens on 2001 non secure and 2010
secure.  Are these ports in use?  NETSTAT *CNN will show you.  If so,
you need to identify the jobs associated with the ports and end them.
If not, you have so other issue.

Subject: HELP with DCM and ADMIN HTTP server

I've run into two related problems.

First, we're trying to get an end-user set up with a local CA, and a
certificate from that local CA assigned to their Telnet server, for
secured TN5250.

Somehow, something went wrong in the local CA creation process, and
there's no certificate in the *SYSTEM store to assign to the Telnet
server, and no obvious way to create one. An error message (I'm afraid I
don't recall exactly what) appeared around the point where that
certificate should have been created. Obviously, I either did something
wrong, or left something out, but what, and how do I rectify this?

In an attempt to figure out the DCM problem, I tried to bring up ADMIN
HTTP on our V5R2 test box, the one box for which we haven't yet set up
secured Telnet. But a STRTCPSVR on the ADMIN HTTP server caused the
server to crash on takeoff. Twice. There aren't any port restrictions,
at least so far as I can determine, so what else could be stopping it
from coming up?
