Secure Mainframe Access

All Mainframe access (eg: Connections to ac.adpc.purdue.edu) will need to be secured by July 31^st. This means switching your Windows and Mac users to an SSL/TLS enabled TN3270 and FTP client.

Windows

TN3270

ITaP has provided instructions (MS Word) on how to install and configure Hummingbird's TN3270.

Here is the "Secure ITaP 3270.EXE" file discussed in Step 15 of the directions.

Also, here is the "Secure ITaP Mainframe.hep" file the above program installs if you wish to repackage it.

FTP

You can either use SecureFX or Hummingbird FTP.

For SecureFX, simply create a new session selecting "FTP/SSL (explicit)" for the protocol and set it to use port 621.

Macintosh

TN3270

Brown University's TN3270 X already supports SSL/TLS. Just enable it and use port 2024.

FTP

Fetch 5 already supports SSL/TLS for FTP connections. Just create a new connection, use "Connect using: FTP with SSL/TLS", and set it to use port 621.
