Q.
Before I set my SSL_OPTIONS on the sockets, do I have to make sure that the server has NICI properly installed and has a Certificate Authority (CA), or can I do this later?
A.
You need to make sure that NICI is set up correctly on the server. Additionally, you need to make sure that WSPSSL.NLM and NILE.NLM are loaded on the server. If not, the ioctl (Input Output Control) will fail. Additionally, a good tool to ensure that NICI and the CA are set up correctly on your server is PKIDIAG.NLM, which is available at http://download.novell.com/index.jsp?search=Search&build_type=PatchBuildBean&keywords=pkidiag.nlm.
