<h1 class="topictitle1">Use Secure Sockets Layer to secure the File Transfer Protocol server</h1>
<div><p>With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) you can eliminate the exposure
of transmitting passwords and data in the clear when using the <span>i5/OS™</span> File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) server with an FTP client that also uses SSL.</p>
<p>The FTP server provides enhanced security while sending and receiving files
over a untrusted network. FTP server uses SSL to secure passwords and other
sensitive data during an information exchange. The FTP server supports either
SSL or TLS protected sessions, including client authentication and automatic
sign-on.</p>
<p>Most SSL-enabled applications connect a client to separate TCP ports, one
port for "unprotected" sessions and the other for secure sessions. However,
secure FTP is a bit more flexible. A client can connect to a non-encrypted
TCP port (typically TCP port 21), and then negotiate authentication and encryption
options. A client can also choose a secure FTP port (typically TCP port 990),
where connections are assumed to be SSL. The iSeries™ FTP server provides for both
of these options.</p>
<p>Before you can configure the FTP server to use SSL, you must have installed
the prerequisite programs and set up digital certificates on your iSeries.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Create a local Certificate Authority or use DCM to configure the FTP
server to use a public certificate for SSL.</div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaiqsslcertauth.htm">Create a local Certificate Authority</a><br />
You can use the IBM<sup>®</sup> Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to create and operate
a local Certificate Authority (CA) on your iSeries server. A local CA enables you
to issue private certificates for applications that run on your iSeries server.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaiqsslassoccert.htm">Associate a certificate with the File Transfer Protocol server</a><br />
Perform this task if you did not assign a certificate to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server application during the creation of the local Certificate Authority (CA), or if you have configured your system to request a certificate from a public CA.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaiqsslenableclient.htm">Require client authentication for the File Transfer Protocol server</a><br />
If you need the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server to authenticate
clients, you can change the application specifications in IBM<sup>®</sup> Digital Certificate
Manager (DCM). This step is optional.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaiqsslenablessl.htm">Enable Secure Socket Layer on the File Transfer Protocol server</a><br />
In order to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to secure your File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, you need to complete the configuration steps first.</li>
