Re: DCM help -- trying to set up TLS (and Secured Telnet) on a V7R5 box

You don't need to create a local certificate. Just create the *SYSTEM

Dear Brad, et al.:

"Just create the *SYSTEM store"?

If I look at the *SYSTEM store, all I see is:

LOCAL_CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY_7813280O(1)
Touchtone
Expires in 7299 days
ECDSA (256 bits)
Certificate Authority (Enabled)

and if I go to "Manage Application Definitions" (something I definitely
remember from the old V6 and V4 DCMs), I see a box for

QIBM_QTV_TELNET_SERVER
IBM i TCP/IP Telnet Server
Server
No certificates assigned

If I click "View" on that box, I see "None assigned" under Assigned
Certificates, and if I click "Assign Certificates," nothing is listed to
assign. Is an empty *SYSTEM store really all I need now, for secured
Telnet? No assignments?

Also, as I recall, bringing up the Telnet server in Secured mode
requires cycling that server, varying it off and back on. Is that still
true? It's easy enough to do when you also have a physical terminal on a
Twinax line, and I vaguely recall using it through the separate system
console Ethernet port on our E4A, but how do I do this without physical
access? Through iNav?

And what about the other thing we need, enabling HTTPS support in Scott
Klement's HTTPAPI?
