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

I wish I could do that too.

IBM has verified it should be possible, at least with V5R2
since they now have that functionality in their FTP client.
 But, we're on V5R1.  And there were PTFs to fix this in
V5R2, so I think it's just something IBM hasn't been
through to test.

We're in the process of doing SSL socket level traces to
send to them, so we'll see what happens then.  After they
decipher the data they should be able to tell us exactly
what's going wrong.
