Re: How to do FTP using TN5250 Mochasoft -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks, I just changed my Mochasoft settings and made similar changes in
IBM i ACS like below and then I am able to use password with special
characters (which i had set on Mochasoft) at all these channels :- IBM i
ACS, FTP,File Zilla, VS Code.

TN5250 Mochasoft version 3.8 Settings:-

Port Number : 992 (SSL/TLS) and Terminal size: 24*80

Tools--->options---> Language:-

AS/400 Code page (language) :- Austria/Germany (273)

use Windows OS default encoding(recommended)

IBM i ACS (IBM i Access Client Solutions
(64-bit)
Version: 1.1.9.2
Build id: 3131) settings:-

Coomunication --->Configure --->Destination Port : 992
Protocol:- Telnet-TLS/SSL
Screen Size : 24*80
Host Code Page : 273 Germany

But for SSH ( for below command on command prompt like below ) it gives
the error "Permission denied, please try again."

ssh -p 2222 myuserid@xxxxxxxxxx

Permission denied, please try again.

So what to do to correct this SSH error now?

Note :-- Anyone has any idea because of above symmetry in settings of
Mochasoft and IBM i ACS what did it change in the individual settings of
FTP,VS Code, File Zilla because my understanding is that these changes were
specific to Mochasoft & IBM i ACS only but what above settings changed in
the configuration of these channels so that they started connecting now
with 'pub400.com' because earlier they gave their own set of errors.

Thanks.

I replied to your question on PUB400 and suggested that in Mochasoft you
need to set the same code page as you have set in iACS. (I gave you a
link to the Mochasoft documentation page.)

1) I would just like to know if anyone has been able to use this type of
password (special characters in it) at both places IBM I ACS & at

Mochasoft

without encountrring this error(CPF1120) successfully while trying to
connect at 'pub400.com'?

If yes, what were the specific settings port, protocol , host code page
value etc. for this case, as I tried various combinations (as mentioned

in

my previous posts) but did not succeed so far.

Thanks much...

I just verified that PUB400.com DOES accept long passwords (128

characters)

so the PassPhrase can be used.

In the end, most auditors what a passPHRASE as opposed to a passWORD.

So

forget the special characters and just use a longer passPhrase instead.
Language translation is one of the most difficult things computers
do(sound simple but it's not) given various language intricacies.

It's

best not to punch it in the face just because you can.

Make it easy.

Hi,

I have also noticed one strange thing that password with special
characters
(more than one) is also being accepted inside IBM i ACS but if it's

set

with these special characters then by using the same password I can't
login
to MOCHASOFT and if it's set like this( with more than one special
characters in the password) inside Mochasoft then it can't be used

while

trying to login to IBM i ACS . And in both of these cases I get the

same

error ("CPF1120-CPF1120-User does not exist
or password not correct for user profile".)

Thanks.

Hi,

Just for more clarification :-

1) I just changed Host Code Page value to '273 Germany' whereas

inside

Mochasoft DSPJOB -option 2 CCSID values were like this :- "Country

or

region identifier . . . . . . . . . . : US
Coded character set identifier . . . . . . . . . : 273
Default coded character set identifier . . . . . : 273
Character identifier control . . . . . . . . . . : *JOBCCSID"

my question is just by making changes here in IBM i ACS for this Host

Code

Page value to '273 Germany' here I was able to bypass that earlier
authentication error from IBM i ACS ("CPF1120-CPF1120-User does not

exist

or password not correct for user profile.) and could login

successfully

to

IBM i ACS (to pub400.com )with the password which has '@' character

in.

Also I can login successfully through other ways as well like

FTP,SSH,

VS

Code,FileZilla without changing any of their settings separately so

by

just

changing this 'Host Code Page' value inside this IBM i ACS what does

is

change for other channels(FTP,SSH,VS Code, Filezilla) settings
automatically without changing any of these channel's settings

individually?

2) Since I was able to change my password inside Mochasoft by

inserting

some other special characters apart from '@' so i tried to login to

IBM

iACS with this changed password but this again started giving that

old

CPF1120 error and I could not login to 'pub400.com' through other
channels ( VS Code, FTP,SSH,FileZilla) as well with this changed

password

as they started giving their own set of errors like mentioned in my
previous posts.

My assumption is that whatever password I could set inside Mochasoft

for '

pub400.com', the same I should be able to use if I try to login

through

IBM i ACS,VS Code, FTP,SSH,Filezilla etc. for 'pub400.com'. If my
assumption is true then what should be my one time change inside this

Host

Code Page value for IBM i ACS or any other such change somewhere else

?

Earlier I responded like " I tried changing codePage=273 in IBMi.kmp

for

IBM i ACS and also changed it under communication- configure- host

code

page - 273 Germany. and then tried various ports as well like

23,992,2222

but each time I got the same error here." I am not sure why I am not
getting this error now and password with '@' character is being

accepted

through all the channels for this 'pub400.com' without any such
authentication errors.

Thanks

So My question here is if the Host Code Page value '273 Germany' for

IBM

i ACS Could handle this single '@' special character in the password

Hi,

1) After changing Host code page in IBM i ACS as per DSPJOB option

2

in

mochasoft it's getting connected with password '@' as well through

all

the

channels (filezilla just gave status 'Status: Server does not

support

non-ASCII characters.'
in between the connecting process but got connected.)

So by just changing this IBM i VS Code Host page value, what changes

were

made in VS Code ,FTP, SSH and FileZilla settings automatically

(without

changing each of these separately) which helped to bypass this
authentication hurdle this time?

2) I just tried making the password a little more complex by adding

a

few

more special characters along with '@' but now the same error is

appearing

so what changes in this Host code page or somewhere ( or somewhere

else

like keyboard mapping file) else should be done to accommodate all

these

extra special characters here?

Thanks.

Tim mentioned changing the configuration for iACS to ccsid 273 and

reported that it still failed. I'm not sure if that's because iACS

ignored

the configuration value, or needed to be restarted after the

change,

or

what.

Probably because the OP set the password with an already mismatched
CCSID, thus garbling up things completely.
