Re: Security, the AS/400 and the internet

["David Shea" <dshea@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that his conclusion sounds wrong.  But you may need to define
'secure'.  I'll assume for the moment that you are referring to either
encryption or login security.

I don't do domino, so I can't be entirely sure, but if it's communicating
with IP, of course it can be secured with encryption, either with a VPN
solution or with a proxy server solution that includes some form of
encryption (Wingate can do this, for example).

If you are talking about login-type access security, why wouldn't you be
able to use any of the various access security methods, like VPNs,
SecureID's etc?

But... you Domino jockeys out there may know better.....
