Re: Why is working with SSL a PITA on the i?

Glad I could help.

I would have my own page up, but Aaron's does the job. Although it
could use some tweaking.. :) At least the part about setting up the
cert store for the first time (no need to create a certificate).

Normally if it doesn't help, I'll get on the horn and talk the user
through it, or do it myself (even if they don't any of my products..
<smile>)

Let me know if it worked! You'll know if your RC -23 codes go away. :)

Thanks Brad (and I guess Aaron/his company) that was exactly what I needed.

Sounds like you're importing the Certificate Authorities, not the
certificates themselves.

The Certificate Authorities (CAs) are the entities that sign the
certificate. When you import these, you're saying "trust certificates
signed by these CAs".

You'll use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to import them. Here's a
website that may help:

Feel free to contact me offline for any help. I too think the SSL
business on the AS/400 is not only confusing but cumbersome. And the
terminology for both client and server applications gets confusing as
well.

But I've worked with it enough in the past few years to feel pretty
comfortable with it. :)

we used documentation from Scott Klement from articles on
now_what_is_called iprodeveloper.

we also got good support from IBM, in that they helped us figure out
what other certs we needed to get it to work.

I have 2 certificates from our bank so we can FTP SSL to their server in
order to retrieve files from them. The last time I have added something
like this was at least 7 years ago. How do I import these files so they

can

be used for FTP SSL? I haven't found anything that is a step-by-step on

how

to do this. If there is, can you point me to it? If not, I AM going to

blog

this and put it on the wiki.
