Re: Client Authentication as a Client, is it even possible?

That is not using the AS400 as a client.  That's what I'm
looking for (and thought I was pretty clear).  

I know this other is possible, but I'm talking about
writing a client with RPG, C, etc on the AS/400 and using
it to connect via SSL to a Server that requests client
authentication.
