Re: openssl for telnet on IBM i?

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I see it you have these options:

1) Open Telnet on 23 from the world.  Not such a good choice.
2) Create a self-signed cert in DCM and assign it to Telnet. Then use 
Port 992 and you are secure. Not sure why people think this is hard.
3) Purchase a third party cert and load it into your i and use that to 
secure Telnet.
4) use SSH port tunneling with say putty on port 22 and let that encrypt 
your traffic.
5) Use a VPN
6) Something else that I didn't consider. The possibilities are endless.
