Re: Management Central SSL port 5566

[Neil Palmer <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Should have searched for 2.25 hours instead of 2.  :-)

Found the answer buried under Configure Central Systkm for Server 
Authentication in
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm?info/rzain/rzainscenarios.htm

with the trick being the MGTC server must be endd when you first check 
Management Central Properties to find the Security Tab to set SSL, before 
setting the Properties for the system (in Primary Environment) to use SSL 
on the Secure Sockets tab.
Then I had to end and restart TCP (tried just ending and restarting the 
MGTC server but that didn't seem to cut it).
(All this was on my V5R2 system)

Management Central SSL port 5566






Management Central used port 5555, and 5566 for SSL, according to the 
document at 
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/acc12fda96496e4b8625668f007ab75f


When I check with NETSTAT *CNN I see something listening on port 5555, but 

not 5566: 
                       Work with TCP/IP Connection Status

I see something listening on all the other SSL ports (449, 992, 9470-9476) 

- but nothing for the Management Central SSL port.  I have searched for 
about 2 hours now but can find nothing explaining how to start the SSL 
port for MGTC.  Yes, it is listed in WRKSRVTBLE:
                        Work with Service Table Entries 
                                                             System: 
 Type options, press Enter.

      as-mgtctrl-cs                            5577  tcp 
      as-mgtctrl-ss                            5566  tcp 
      as-mgtctrlj                              5544  tcp 

Anyone have any ideas why I can't get anything listening on port 5566 ?

Note that I have the same problem on a system at V4R5M0 with cumulative 
PTF level C2169450 and a system at V5R2M0 with cumulative PTF level 
C3364520.
