Re: VPN access

Ron,

It depends upon the capability of JWalk. If it can be configured to run in an SSL environment, there is little reason to also run the VPN. We have plenty of web apps that run SSL that have sensitive student and employee data that is encrypted through SSL. We don't use a VPN for those applications, just SSL.

Hi All,


We have a software package written in ILE RPG. We use a Seagull product to
put a GUI over the green screens.

We have about 1,000 users that come into our iSeries through a VPN. I was
just asked by management if we actually need the VPN. Could we just use SSL
to allow our customers to run our application? After all, I don't need a VPN
to access my bank account over the internet. And there is a lot of
overhead/cost in setting up the VPN connection.

So, my question is, Do we need a VPN to run a secured application using 5250
or can we do it with just SSL? Second question is, what is everybody else
doing?
