  1. From a command prompt, use the openssl command to convert the file downloaded in Part 4

to a PEM encoded certificate.

openssl x509 -in [downloaded file] -inform DER -out [converted name]

For example:

openssl x509 -in LOCAL_CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY_7814E10E.CACRT -inform DER

-out ca.pem

  1. Use the Configuration Tool to check the TLS checkbox and enter the location of the PEM file to enable TLS communication for the defined IBM i LPAR.

  2. Click the Distribute button to distribute the configuration to the Ironstream Agent for IBM i.

  3. Restart the EVSBS subsystem on the IBM i LPAR and the Ironstream MCS service on the Windows/Linux system to establish the connection using TLS.
