Hello Rob,

Not meaning to sound negative but aren't we all experiencing work overload? Does the "Populate with CAs" bring in undesirable entries?

Good point! Taking this thought two steps further: Wasn't the AS/400 famous for needing just a fraction of the nannying 1980's mainframes required to stay up and running? What has happened to the idea that the computer is best for automating routine tasks, instead of the flakey human brain?

I suggest to submit an idea to IBM. Windows, macOS, (Debian) Linux, Firefox, etc, they all manage to maintain a list of valid, world wide Certificate Authority root certificates. I presume IBM should be able to provide the same level of convenience and error prevention in IBM i.

:wq! PoC
