  • Issue in importing server certificate for using FTPS client on iSeries

    Dear all,

    I am trying to use FTPS for transfering file from AS400 system to WINDOWS system.
    The WINDOWS system acts as the FTPS server and the AS400 acts as the FTPS client.
    I followed the below steps to set up the communication,

    1. Received the CA certificate (Root Certificate) and FTPS server certificate from the person maintaining the WINDOWS FTPS server.
    2. Imported the CA certificate to *SYSTEM certificate store using DCM on iSeries.
    3. Added the CA certificate to the trust list of FTP client service.
    4. Tried to import the FTPS server certificate, but got an error saying the Request Key not found. It says that I have to first create the request to receive the certificate and then only import the server certificate.

    Question 1: Importing the CA certificate alone is not sufficient to use the FTPS client service on AS400 ? Is it necessary to import the server certificate also ?

    Question 2: If the server certificate also has to be imported, what is the procedure to import it ?

    Thanks in advance for all your responses.

    GoAnywhere supports FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) protocol for securing data transmissions with your trading partners. FTPS creates an encrypted tunnel between two computer systems and will protect against the following attacks:
    IP spoofing, where a remote host sends out packets which pretend to come from another, trusted host
    IP source routing, where a host can pretend that an IP packet comes from another, trusted host
    DNS spoofing, where an attacker forges name server records
    Interception of cleartext passwords and other data by intermediate hosts
    Manipulation of data by attackers in control of intermediate hostsGoAnywhere provides comprehensive FTPS features to satisfy enterprise requirements.
