ITM/TEPS related TN3270 Terminal Sessions need to include an options for an SSL connection to allow for secure communication

Customers need the capability to create a secure connection when establishing a session using the TEPS/TEP Client Terminal/tn3270 options.

At this time there is no capability to establish a secure TN3270 Terminal Session from the TEP Client using SSL.

    Thanks to Vytas for reaching out to me about this issue.  We opened a case in 2021.  

    Without any update on the secure port, we are using NetView for IPTraces and our own CLISTs to do the traces.  Also we are looking into some other alternatives from other vendors, such as Broadcom NetMaster SmartTrace.
