Re: iSphere TN5250j SSL Problem

I am not allowed to change the SSL setup on our IBM i nor on PUB400.com.

I downloaded TN5250j v0.6.0 (fairly old version) and I could connect to
pub400.com (SSLv3) when I start the emulator with Java 1.8. But when I
import the source code to WDSCi 7.0 and start the emulator from there,
the same errors occur.

So it must be a problem of Java 1.5 and 1.6 in conjunction with the SSL
setup on the IBM i.

Hmm... maybe the handshake on the host side is not working, do you have
correct ciphers and protocols setup on host side.

Jack,

I assume that you mean TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2, right? I am not an SSL/TLS
expert but people often mix SSL and TLS. Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security) mentions the
following protocols:

SSLv1.0
SSLv2.0
SSLv3.0
TLSv1.0
TLSv1.1
TLSv1.2
TLSv1.3

For TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2, I get the "SSLContext not available" error:

24679 [Thread-10] INFO

But of course these protocols should also work, if possible.

Tom, I currently do not use this tool, but wouldn't you want it to work

for

SSLV1.2??

Hi,

Today I uploaded iSphere 3.0.0.b009, which enables SSL for the TN5250j
emulator. It works fine for RDi 9.5 and Java 7, but it does not work

for

all other IDEs with Java 1.6 and lower.

For example I receive the following errors for WDSC 7.0:

TLSv1.1:

I already tried installing the "unrestricted policy files" to solve

the

"RSA premaster secret error" as described here
"http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21663373"; without
success. Maybe I did something wrong.

Maybe, that somebody of you can help solving the problem. I am stuck.

Regards,

Thomas.
