Network Station Manager 1.3/Netscape browser - enabling SSL

[mandy.shaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

NSM 1.3 (5648-C05) running on V4R3 & using the Netscape 40-bit encryption
browser option.

I am trying to get NSM 1.3 to support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 from the Netscape
browser. I have searched the Internet, the NSM configuration app and the
help text without success.

NSM 2 is also running on the same AS/400 & works fine.

At present the 1.3 version of the browser won't handle https: at all. It
shows the check boxes for this support as unchecked and, of course (this
being a thin client), greyed out. Therefore I am expecting to find a
configuration option *somewhere*. The fact that the 40-bit encryption
Netscape browser runs SSL fine on NSM 2 on this AS/400 would indicate to me
that any OS/400 prereqs are satisfied (and I can find no indication of any
such prereqs in the somewhat limited documentation, anyway).

We have the latest group PTF for 5648-C05 installed. There appears to be no
reference to SSL on any relevant PTF or APAR description anyway.

If you have succeeded in getting this working, please let me know how!

We need 1.3 running to support some oldish thin client hardware.

Thanks and regards,
Mandy Shaw
