Agent 3.2 and later versions do support SSL, but older versions of Agent, by themself, cannot access a secure/ssl server. You can, however, use a local proxy application like Stunnel to access these. Stunnel can be obtained from . We cannot help you with the installation and basic configuration of Stunnel, since we are in no way associated with the product. But we can tell you this: To use Agent with it, you will need to configure that instance of Agent to connect to the host ‘localhost’ or IP 127.0.0.1. Both of these represent your own machine. Agent is not connecting to the remote server, it’s connecting to Stunnel. Stunnel then connects to the remote server for Agent. If you want to connect to more than one secure server, in each instance of Agent that you use stunnel for, change the appropriate port number in agent.ini to something unique, and configre Stunnel accordingly, based on its setup.
