RE: System i as FTP SSL Client

You don't need a certificate to run an SSL clients, but you need DCM
which is part of the administrative webserver to to add custom root CAs.
No CSR needed, and no Websphere.

Subject: System i as FTP SSL Client

What do I need to do for the System i to be a SSL FPT client.
  The System i is *not* running any web server (http or websphere).
  From what I have read, I need to obtain a Certificate from one of the
major authorities, but to to that I need to use an http or websphere
product to create a CSR (Certificate Sigining Request).
  Has anyone done this for a System i without running http or websphere?
  I will also be using PGP to encrypt my data.
   
  Thanks,
