One thing pops to mind: most all Windows clients will accept self signed certificates, and z/os won't. Is the top level certificate marked as a Trusted CA?
The next thing to try is a more detailed trace. I don't recall exactly what I did, but I do recall seeing that I did not have any case sensitivity issues. I also recall seeing a very explicit message as to the exact nature of the error. Of course, it took me a while to accept what it was saying. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Finley, Frank Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 9:03 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: FTPS rc = 406 (Error while reading or writing data) Hello, I've been beating my head against the wall for a while on this one and wondering if anyone has any thoughts that may help me in troubleshooting. I am having issues with an FTPS connection to a remote host. IBM Z/OS 1.8 (our side) client connecting to a Unix FTPS server running proftpd. This is outside a firewall, but ports have been open between our two locations. Windows clients aren't having any issues connecting to their server. We are using RACF for the certificates and I have verified that the certificate chain is in place for the user. Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction troubleshooting? ..snip Thank you, Frank Finley, CISSP Information Systems Security Officer United States Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center, Topeka KS (ph) - 785-339-3578 (cell) - 785-813-1812 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
