Hello all,

 

Wonder if anybody could advise. I have a client tn3270 application running on Solaris 2.8. Currently, it is using clear text to communicate with tn3270 server.

Now, I need to run tn3270 with SSL.

 

If I install stunnel in the Solaris 2.8 box to act as a wrapper.

 

1. Do I run the stunnel as a client only ?

Is the command: 

stunnel -c -d <port1> -r <tn3270server>:<port2>

 

a.  Is port1 the original port where client tn3270 application sends to server ?

 

b. Is port2 the same as port1 ?

 

c. Alternatively, am I supposed to change the client tn3270 application to direct the data to a new port X, then port1 = X, while port2 is the port where the server is listening on.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Warm Regards,

TW
