Note: With the current native SSL/TLS support in FTP, an application can negotiate the use of SSL/TLS using an FTP protocol exchange known as the AUTH command. Because FTP is not yet enabled to be an AT-TLS controlling application, in order to use AT-TLS to secure FTP file transfers (rather than just using the current native SSL/TLS support), you would need to use implicit SSL/TLS. With implicit SSL/TLS, the fact that SSL/TLS is used is hidden from the FTP application and a specific port (TCP port 990) must be used. The use of TCP port 990 "implicitly" requires the use of SSL/TLS encryption. Use of application-negotiated SSL/TLS is recommended by the IETF over the use of implicit SSL/TLS; however, implicit SSL/TLS might provide an acceptable tactical solution in your environment, allowing you to try to standardize on a single consistent encryption solution. 4.4 Restrictions The following applications will not map to AT-TLS policies and are not supported by AT-TLS: Applications using the Pascal API to access TCP/IP Line Print daemon and commands LPD, LPQ, LPRM Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (JES Spool Server) TSO Telnet client Web servers using Fast Response Cache Accelerator Network administration applications permitted to the EZB.INITSTACK RACF profile Connections established and mapped prior to the installation of the AT-TLS policy will proceed in clear text.
