Configuring for TLS

When configuring a Telnet session, you can choose TLS or SSL only as your Security Protocol. If the configured host does not support TLS, the host does one of the following:
  • Sends SSLv3 hello to Personal Communications

    In this case, Personal Communications will revert to SSLv3 and continue SSLv3 negotiations.

  • Sends a fatal error

    In this case, Personal Communications does not continue negotiations with the host.

If you know that the host does not support TLS, you can select the SSL only option. In this case, Personal Communications starts with SSL negotiations to establish a secure connection, and does not attempt TLS negotiations. This option also enables SSLv2.
