Re: YourPay.com API on OS/400 or OpenSSL implementation

Hello,


There is a Java implementation of the API, but it (like all the other
implementations) requires OpenSSL as an underlying transport since they
have a .pem certificate they want assigned to all the requests.
I haven't used YourPay, but... stupid question... what does PEM have to do with OpenSSL? Seems to me that any SSL software should be able to use PEM certificates. Or, if not, you could do a one-time conversion of the certificate to a different format (for example, using the openssl.exe command-line tool for Windows.)
The only reason I could see why YourPay would require OpenSSL would be if the Java routines are calling the OpenSSL C routines directly as native methods.
So, if there's no direct YourPay implementation, anyone know of an OpenSSL implementation?
OpenSSL *is* an implementation. It's a particular software package that implements the SSL protocol. It's freely available at: 
http://www.openssl.org
Perhaps instead of an implementation, you're actually looking for an i5/OS port of OpenSSL? If so, there's one included with licpgm 5733-SC1. However, it's for PASE... so it'd be difficult to use from an iSeries program, though it might be usable from Java if Java is running under PASE. 
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/tools/openssh.html
Yes, I know the title of the page says OpenSSH rather than OpenSSL. That licpgm is designed to let you run OpenSSH on your iSeries. however, OpenSSL is a dependency of OpenSSH -- so if you have OpenSSH you must also have OpenSSL.
Though, I'm really skeptical that you'd need OpenSSL for this. The standard i5/OS SSL/TLS support should be able to do the job!
