FTPS using self-signed certificate

I'm trying to establish an implicit FTPS session to a host which is
providing a self-signed certificate.  Upon connection, I get error TCP3D2C
(Secure connection error, return code -23) and the help text for -23 is
"Certificate is not signed by a trusted certificate authority"

Is there any way to configure it to accept a self-signed certificate?  I
have CHGFTPA set to ALWSSL(*YES).

The goal is just to get encryption on FTP transfers to a static IP host site
used for staging files, so having a trusted certificate authority issued
certificate doesn't seem like it should be necessary.  Although I admit DCM
is an area where i have no experience yet.
