Re: Can anyone help me with getting a secure connection from a LINUX system to the IBMI?

We have a remote developer that is using Linux for their hardware.

We tried the IBM ACS ODBC for Linux but he has problems getting the secure
connection. I have a trusted CA and assigned it to the host servers and
telnet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is an old document so I cannot say if it is still valid, but I can read that there is a restriction which prevents configuring an ssl connection.

Restriction: Sockets Layer (SSL) component
Reason: The SSL component is not needed or shipped with the Linux driver. Use a common SSL tunnel or Socks server instead.

So, as others write, you may want to set up an ssh tunnel.

Many thanks, Darryl Freinkel.
