Controlling SSL/TLS using the /~ command line switch
It is possible to use a command line switch to enable SSL/TLS Encryption, or to disable SSL/TLS Encryption. This is accomplished by using the /~ command line switches.
•  /~0 - Disables Encryption
•  /~2 - Enables SSL/TLS Encryption
For example, if you wanted to start a BlueZone Mainframe session with SSL/TLS Encryption enabled, use the /~2 command line switch when launching the session. The /~2 command line switch has the same affect as selecting the Enable Secure Sockets Layer check box on the Security tab when you are configuring a host connection. Any additional SSL or TLS settings that are required, must be set and saved in the BlueZone configuration first.
The following is an example of starting a BlueZone Mainframe session with SSL/TLS encryption enabled.
"C:\Program Files\BlueZone\BZMD.EXE" /~2
Conversely, if you want to start a BlueZone Mainframe session with encryption disabled, use the /~0 command line switch to disable encryption. The /~0 command line switch has the same affect as clearing the Enable Secure Sockets Layer check box on the Security tab.
The following is an example of starting a BlueZone Mainframe session with encryption disabled.
"C:\Program Files\BlueZone\BZMD.EXE" /~0
This feature applies to the following products:
•  BlueZone Mainframe Display
•  BlueZone Mainframe Printer
•  BlueZone iSeries Display
•  BlueZone iSeries Printer
