Re: Using TLS1.2 with IBMi custom agent software

So you're not using TLS if there's no encryption. If you're saying they
are wanting to use TLS, my answer still stands.

Wow, I missed a key piece of info in that. Currently there is no
encryption. They are talking clear text.

The SSL APIs used in the agent should handle all that. If you have TLS
set up properly and your QSSL* system values set up right and are on V7R3
or above, the only thing you may need to do is import the CA chain used by
the certificate on the server.

I have a client that has a custom server / agent software package.
The server runs on windows. The agent runs on the IBMi and some other
platforms. They want to add TLS1.2 protocol to the communication and
I have to do the IBMi side. I'm apparently not googling with the
right keywords because I'm not finding any details on how to implement
it. Are there code changes that need to be made? It is just a
different port and the encryption / decryption automatically happens?
I'm lost. Can someone point me in the right direction for what
changes have to be made to the IBMi agent for TLS1.2? I'll take web
links, keywords for google searches, of anything else that get me
heading in the right direction. I am open to doing a teams meeting if
that would be easier. Just send me an offline request with times that
you are available.



Thanks in advance.
