Re: Enable Telnet SSL

["Steve McKay" <steve.mckay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In looking at 'Coummunication / Security Information / View Certificate' on 
iSeries Access emulator, I find the following: "Windows does not have enough 
information to verify this certificate" and "The issuer of this certificate 
could not be found".

I created the certificate in the local CA.  Could it be that Windows doesn't 
accept my local CA as a valid authority?
