The way I understand it, if you are using SSL and CA is not recognized by the application, then you either download the certificate locally or you don't connect. I am not aware of an SSL connection without a client certificate. SSL is based on the exchange of certificate information.

Could be that the CA that issued the certificate for the Telnet server is already "known" by the client so the security warning and the necessary download of the certificate doesn't occur (issued by Network Solutions, GoDaddy, Thawt or many others). So that is why you may not be prompted for anything while negotiating a connection using tn5250. The same would apply to IA as well. My guess is that there is something else going on causing the error on IA. But, it is just a guess.

Is iSeries Access for MS-Windows able to make SSL connections without having
a client certificate?

I ask because I can start encrypted 5250 sessions with tn5250 on my phone
and a friend confirmed he could connect from his slackware workstation.
However, when I try to connect with iSeries Access for MS-Windows I get
'25406 - An IO error occurred on a data read or write.'

Thanks,
Alfred
