Use this policy to require that a user connect to the iSeries™ server using the secure sockets layer (SSL).
To use this policy, SSL must be installed and configured on both the iSeries server and the client PC. It is not possible to mandate that SSL be turned off. It is always possible for a user to elect to use SSL, assuming that it is installed and configured on both the iSeries server and the client PC.
If this policy mandates the use of SSL, any connection attempt that cannot use SSL will fail. This means that if the user does not have SSL installed, or if the iSeries system is incapable of using SSL or does not have the SSL-capable versions of the host servers started, no connections to iSeries servers can be made!
