SSL Connection Settings

The optional SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol enables authenticated and
encrypted communication between clients and servers.
Before anyone can connect to a server the system administrator must make available a
copy of the root certificate used to sign the server's identity certificate and the number
of the telnet port the server is listening on. TeemTalk sets the telnet host port number
to 992 for secure telnet by default.
Additionally the system administrator may issue each user or terminal with their own
password protected client certificate.
To make an SSL connection:
1. Display the New Connection dialog box by selecting Open Connection in the
File menu.
2. Select the SSL/TLS option in the Type list box.
3. Click the Configure button to display the SSL Connection dialog box.
4. Click the Directory browse button to pick a directory to store the root certificates
used to validate server identity certificates.
5. Click the Add button to install the root certificate file(s) the system administrator
has supplied.
6. If the system administrator has supplied a client certificate, enter it and the
password in the boxes provided, then click OK.
