The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

You are correct, and no we don't use SSL for non-Admin 5250 sessions here.
That's very bad. Any connections to your IBM i should be encrypted.
Using unencrypted Telnet, FTP or other protocols which are used to
exchange either authentication data or sensitive data makes your
system less secure than an unpatched NT4 server (which, at least
always used NTLMv1). Unfortunately, IBM still ships their systems with
an insecure default configuration. I've submitted a DCR on this a few
years ago, but have never gotten any reply from them.
Getting SSL connectivity should be easy. All you need is the Root CA
cert (probably an internal one). Find out which it is, then add that
to your IBM i access configuration, and you should be access whatever
your user can access - even Management Central, if you haven't gotten
locked out there.
