RE: Configure INav to use SSL

I think you must use iSeries Navigator to define the SSL connection properties. Open the properties for the system, Select the Secure Sockets tab, check "Use Secure Sockets Layer...." There is a button for downloading the SSL certificate from the host. The certificate must be available on the host...

The problem is that I do not see any place to indicate SSL for my connection properties.
The Help contents indicate that there is a component IKEYMAN that is used to install the CA certificate into iSeries Access key database, but I do not see that either.

From what I recall in the past, there was an SSL component it iSeries Access that needed to be installed, but I do not see it in the selective setup window.

You need to get the certificate from that system's administrator and import
it into your PC.

Then, in the configuration of your CA session, you click the properties of
the server, and define you are using SSL and where to get the certificate.

I am connecting to a remote System i that uses SSL.
I need to configure iSeries Access to get the certificate and use SSL for
connections.

Have you created the necessary certificate(s)?

You need to begin with configuring DCM through http://yoursystem:2001 after
you start the ADMIN instance in your HTTP server

Where do I find the component to allow iNav to configure an SSL connection
to a remote system?
I am running iSeries Access V5R3M0 and do not see an SSL component in the
Selective Setup install window.
