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