Re: FTPs from IBMi.. to FTP server with a "untrusted certificate"

You'll need to install the FTP Server's Certificate Authorities (CAs) in
your *SYSTEM store. This is so your IBM i will "trust" the server it
connects to.

I've put together documentation for this:
http://docs.bvstools.com/home/ssl-documentation

You'll want to start by getting the actual certificate (maybe with OpenSSL
unless you can get it through a web browser). Then export the CAs and
finally import them into your *SYSTEM store.

Each step is outlined on the site.

Feel free to contact me for any help offline as well.

I am trying to get going with a FTPs (FTP with Explicit SSL)

I have already set up one provider years ago (COVISINT), but am now
attempting to go live with Liaison...

when I attempt to connect from the IBMi, I get "Error -23. Certificate is
not signed by a trusted certificate authority"

and am stopped...

The support people want me to use a tool like FileZilla, so I can
"click ok" and trust the cert. but I don't think the FTP client on the i
supports that!

I seem to recall, back when we set up COVISINT, I had to hunt down the
cert. my self, but can't remember how I did it.

I have some cert details, but don't know how to grab the actual .cer file
needed to push to the IBMi cert. manager...

does anyone have any ideas for me?
