Re: No new SSL-telnet connections

Hello,

just thinking ...
what version / release are you using ?
have you seen some message "QINTER had an allocation error for device..."
in QSYSOPR or in a DSPLOG ?
are you using only ssl connections ?
no limit in your QINTER SBSD and wse ?

but trying to start a new SSL telnet connection either doesn't work at

all,

or in one case, took 20 minutes to connect. I've checked that the
certificates are ok and both the CA certificate and the server

certificate

are ok until next year. Firewall isn't the problem as this is occurring

over

the LAN as well, plus as I mentioned, existing SSL telnet connections

are

working just fine. Any ideas where I should look?

A little more information on this puzzle. Suddenly SSL connections are
working, with no apparent changes at all. Nothing was restarted, no error

messages ever logged. But for nearly 24 hours new SSL connections either
wouldn't start at all or would be extremely slow to start. Doing a
NETSTAT revealed that the iSeries was receiving bytes from the client but
showed zero bytes sent. We are still scratching our heads over this. We
don't know why it stopped working or why it suddenly started working. The

one oddity is that many of the new connections are now coming in under
QCTL instead of QINTER. Any more thoughts?
