SSL Telnet from one AS/400 to a second AS/400
soma1...@yahoo.com
Our users sign on to the local AS/400 with Personal Communications.
Then they select a menu option that does a telnet in a CLP. Looking
to change this to a secure connection.
Would look like this...
TELNET RMTSYS(CUSTOMER) PORT(992)
Cert Store and certificates are defined and assigned to the telnet and
FTP server on the customer AS/400. I receive the following messages
in QTVTELNET.
"A remote host did not respond within the timeout period."
"SSL Handshake exceeded timeout limit for client...".
I am able to do secure FTP.
FTP RMTSYS(CUSTOMER) PORT(990)
Thanks!

Do you have a CPF message or a return code??
This link might help once loaded look for SSL return codes.

I opened up a case with IBM after posting the original question and
they stated the only way you can do this is with a PC client. There's
no support for a secure telnet client on the iSeries and there are no
plans to implement one.

Maybe it's a bit akward but you could run a (local) ssh tunnel server on
your as that remap a local port (on 127.0.0.1) to a remote ssh port.
So you (plain) TELNET on a local port and the ssh tunnel connects it to
the remote as/400.
The 'cons' is that, AFAIK, the tunnel server destination is fixed or, at
best, require some dynamic reconfiguration in order to change the
destination address.
Best regards,
