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

The connection needs to be secure and use the DRDA and host servers only.
Basically, the external parties will use SQL to pull data from out files.

The external operating system is Linux.

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.

IBM i Access Client Solutions Linux Application Package - Installation
and usage guide, page 14

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

Many thanks, Darryl Freinkel.
