    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. Usage of TLS 1.3 is dependent on the IBM i release providing support for it and the level of Java being used by IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). Configure your IBM i to use TLS 1.3 and use Java11 with ACS. As there is no specific support required from ACS, this RFE is being Declined. If there are issues getting TLS 1.3 to work with ACS, please open a case with our Support team.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    The ability for Access Client Solutions (ACS) to support TLS 1.3 depends on TLS 1.3 capability within both IBM i and Java. We will considering adding the support for TLS 1.3, but its availability will depend on the version of Java and the release of IBM i OS.
