Access control with digital certificates

According to the V5R1 manual, you can limit what a user can see by using
digital certificates. See following:

>The security that certificates provide is not limited to protecting your
>data from outside threats. You can also use certificates to restrict the
>access of certain employees to specific data as well. For example, you can
>use certificates to prevent software developers within your company from
>accessing the human resource records in the prior scenario. They can also
>prevent technical writers from using high-level, management applications.
>You can effectively use certificates to restrict or facilitate access
>across your entire network.

It seems this could be the answer to the person who needed to change
profile authority win FTP. You could have SSL turned on, and the
certificate could restrict access to only a certain library. Of course, you
DO need to be on V5R1.

Any experience? I'm going to try to set up our system for FTP and TELNET
SSL using certificates. Remember, I'm the guy who's trying to use NetServer
across the Internet!!  :-)
