RE: java.security - changing to use pure java JSSE without editing systemfiles?

I have done this.  It requires using the Digital Certificate Manager which
is part of OS/400.  It has a nice web interface.  You don't say what
problems you're having nor do you provide a stack trace.  Have a look in the
InfoCenter for info on DCM and you should be on the right track.  You'll
also need to install a Cryptographic Access Provider (5722-AC3).

HTH,
Gary
