A weakness of many IP-based network services is the fact that sensitive data, such as a user's password, is transmitted in clear text over the network. IBM i provides support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) for all basic network services. Several regulations already require transmission of sensitive data to be encrypted, yet most companies do not comply with these requirements and send their confidential data in clear over the network. This session introduces the basic requirements, shows you how to set up the required environment (i.e. DCM), and gives you information about rolling out the necessary configuration changes to your client workstations.
