Thank you for the clarification. I never have run in to a real self signed certificate then, just private CA's. Did not know the difference in terminology.

Just an FYI to clarify the use of Self Signed Certificates. ÂYou can use them you just need to get their CA Certificate in a .CER file and import it using DCM.

If they have a CA certificate, then it's not a self-signed
certificate, but a private PKI. These are two different scenarios.

Self signed certificate:

A certificate that signed itself. Usually, Root CAs are self signed,
and manually added for trust. But a simple host-certificate can also
be self-signed, this is something commonly done on Linux, but not on
Windows or the IBM i.

This didn't work back on V5R4.

Private PKI:

A certificate signed by a private CA. The CA is of course, as always,
self signed, but the host certificate is signed by the CA. This worked
back then on V5R4.
