Re: Ok, now I can get into DCM but . . . (was RE: Secure Telnet on our 520)

JHHL:

I am not using V6 yet, were you using DCM on V5R4??  Can you port your 5.4
DCM items to be used via 6.1??
Is the error being thrown because the certificate is not found??
If you installed only the bare minimum you might get limited functionality,
hence no SSL??
What version of Iseries Navigator are you using, I see a Key Management Icon
with my 6.1 code.
