I recently set up SSL for one of my iSeries servers (V5R4). I created

Now however, I can't telent into that iSeries from another iSeries
using the command line.  Any ideas on what I need to do next?  The
telnet server is configured to only use secure connections and I want
to keep it that way.

Any help is appreciated,

The TELNET command has a PORT parameter that defaults to *DFT, which is
well-known port 23.  Unless you changed something in activating SSL,
telnet is probably listening on port 992.  So, when you try to telnet
from another iSeries, you need to specify:

    telnet rmtsys(rmtiseries.mycompany.com) port(992)

or whatever port you're listening on on the target iSeries.

That didn't work for me. Telenet is set to use 992 for SSL but when I
tried telnet rmtsys(rmtiseries.mycompany.com) port(992) it timed out.
Looks like I have a lot to research on the whole SSL topic. Can
anyone suggest any good literature?
