Note that if you are using the HTTP server when you are using the DCM, you will need to have a IBM Developer Kit for Java installed as well.

An IBM Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to help configure your digital certificate as mentioned above.

There are a few things you need to already have present in your servers before you start using SSL for Telnet connections.

Then, after this, you can disable all the non-SSL sessions in order to maintain a secure Telnet connection. If you plan to use SSL for Telnet, you will need to have a digital certificate configured by the Digital Certificate Manager. With the use of SSL you ensure that only secure connections are made when you telnet to another machine. While Telnet sometimes allows secure connections as well, it also has unsecured connections. Using SSL for Telnet connections for your IBM servers Thus, even if sensitive information is exchanged, SSL will ensure that it remains confidential. SSL encryption keeps all the data that is being transferred private.

It is a method of providing encryption in connections between a server and a client-they can be either web servers/ web client or mail servers/ mail clients. Telnet connections can be secured using SSL. Thus, while Telnet is useful, it is also necessary to secure it so that it is safe to use and there is no chance of leaking or loss of data. IBM server allows for Telnet connection, however, Telnet is not an encrypted protocol, which means that there is little security while you are using telnet to connect machines. Telnet is a way to remotely log into another computer, provided that the said computer is in the same network, through a TCP/IP connection.
