HP TeemTalk Terminal Emulator, version 7.3, User Manual

The basic procedure for making an SSL connection is as follows:
1. Add Server Root Certificate.
If you have been given a certificate to verify the server to which you are connecting, you will need
to add this to the TeemTalk list of root certificates.
To do this, click Add below the Root Certificates list and then use the file chooser to locate,
select and open the file containing the certificate. This will add the certificate name to the list.
Alternatively, if you have configured a CA certificate text database locally, you can select the
option for Set database location and specify the folder containing the CA certificate database
below this option.
If you do not need to verify the server, then select the option for Do not verify host's
certificate.
2. Select Client Certificate
If the server you are going to connect to requires you to have a client certificate, choose the
relevant certificate from the Client Certificate drop down list.
If you have not already installed your client certificate, click Add under the Client Certificate
drop down list, and choose the file containing the certificate. This will import the certificate and
add its name to the list.
You may optionally enter your password for the client certificate. If you check Save Password,
the password will be encrypted and stored along with the certificate itself.
NOTE: Saving the password is a security risk as anyone who can access the local system will be
able to connect to the host.
3. Specify the Encoding format for the certificates by selecting either Pem (ASCII Text file Base64
encoded) or Der (binary file).
4. Specify the host name or IP address in the IP Address field.
5. Specify the host's SSL Port number (the default is 992).
6. Click Connect.
7. Login as usual when the telnet login prompt appears.
