Alan,

We've been having trouble with web service calls to some data providers who now support only TLS protocols.
My impression is that there appear to be issues with the limited number of cipher suites supported by IBM i5 so a successful handshake using IBM legacy or GSK APIs may depend on the ciphers that the provider supports but I'm not certain of this.
I've found that using a simple java program (complied at JDK7) to do the actual connection works fine since JDK70 supports a wider range of ciphers.
Connecting using curl via a PHP script also seems to work.

Cheers, Peter

Subject: Connecting to web using TLS

Hi everyone
Before I forget, we are on V7r1 (finally) I have been asked to place web service calls but need to use TLS protocols - Quote When we receive a request, we check the level of encryption. We allow merchants to connect to us only in secure https mode using TLS protocols and we strongly recommend to use the most recent and secure versions which are currently TLS 1.1 and 1.2.

endquote

I have searched the web, and the only thing I can find is the following web page

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019971

Does anyone have any other instructions?
Just trying to cover all bases
