Hi Marci,
 
What do you mean by "security configuration"?  If you are referring to
RACF, we don't use it - we use VM:Secure and the Rules Facility.
 
If you are referring to the INTERNALCLIENTPARMS just SECURECONNECTION
PREFERRED and the TSLABEL statements.

What does your Security Configuration window look like and what values
do you have set ?

Hi Alan,

Good call on PREFERRED vs. ALLOWED, but unfortunately that didn't clear
it up (but I think I will keep PREFERRED as the setting).

I put a trace on Telnet but its 250+ lines so rather than include it in
this email if you are interested you can see the trace here:

 <http://www.mccci.com/misc/telnet_trace.txt>
http://www.mccci.com/misc/telnet_trace.txt

Does anything look out of the ordinary in that trace?

-Mike

Try setting SECURECONNECTION PREFERRED in PROFILE TCPIP.  If that works,

please open a PMR so that we can figure out why ALLOWED doesn't work.

The difference is whether (preferred) or not (allowed) the server
proposes 
the use of TLS.
