Fortunately I don't have to implement the SSL code on the AS400 side.
I've
already developed some prototype code for the client and server on UNIX.

The client has their own programmers for the AS400.  However I do need
to
write a "guide" for them to help them.  I must admit that I am not sure
what
information would be useful to them.  (We will be acting as CA and only
authorized users will be allowed to connect.).  Any useful suggestions
would be
most welcome.

Regards, Mark
