Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
TLS Version 1 and SSL Version 3 share the same basic record construction and
line flows. TLS provides the same function as SSL and is compatible with SSL,
but includes some new features and clarifications for protocol flows.
TLS helps standardize the SSL definition and implementation, makes the SSL
protocol more secure, and makes the specification of the protocol more concise
and complete.
Supporting TLS on the AS/400 system allows AS/400 customers and business
partners to continue to have access to and take advantage of the latest
technology implementation of Internet application security enablement in the
industry. TLS support is automatically part of any SSL-enabled application, such
as the HTTP and TELNET servers. Parameter values on the AS/400 SSL APIs
enable TLS for business partner and customer-provided SSL applications.
– LDAP
• An LDAP-accessible directory server and corresponding APIs that communicate
with other LDAP directory servers are provided in OS/400. APIs are provided for
both OS/400 and Windows applications written in Java, C, and C++.
LDAP-enabled applications, such as Internet mail clients, can access, update, and
manage the AS/400 directory.
• OS/400 applications can be developed to use LDAP for managing distributed
information across the Internet and intranets using LDAP directories for both IBM
and non-IBM platforms. AS/400 user information, such as e-mail addresses, is
accessible to mail clients and other LDAP applications.
