Members MattACaster Posted January 4, 2011 Members Share Posted January 4, 2011 Trying to figure out a way to do this without buying any hardware.. Got an iSeries in here that I'd like to open up to the internet but I need it to use SSL. I'm trying not to change the configuration on the iSeries itself but maybe find some software or something I can use that I would place on a machine between the iSeries and the net that would create the SSL tunnel and act as a proxy between the client in the cloud and the iSeries. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NixerX Posted January 4, 2011 Members Share Posted January 4, 2011 So you want to allow SSH access to the iSeries or SSH tunnel to the Telnet port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted January 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2011 So you want to allow SSH access to the iSeries or SSH tunnel to the Telnet port? Not using SSH. Want the traffic between the clients in the cloud and the iSeries to be encrypted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't manage the iSeries so I'm trying to do with without involving the people who do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can do a SSL redirect which is kinda like a proxy ( as you were saying ) so it would handle the end user and then the input would then get encrypted via SSL to the iSeries. I believe this would require an SSL Certificate between the iSeries and the Webserver. I think thats what you would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if Windows has something like this built into it or should I be looking at 3rd party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
