RE: SSL for 5250 Console?

[Justin Taylor <JUSTIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry.  I felt it was safest to use the official name.  In ACS, under Console the first option is "5250 Console".  I guess it's more commonly known as LAN console.

That statement seems way too broad.

Is this HMC Console? LAN Console? Operations console? Beginning with what release?

I would agree that from i 7.3 forward and with LAN console yes. But HMC doesn't require it and previous to i 7.3 you could use DeadNav (iSeries
Navigator) and that doesn't even support an encrypted console.
