Connecting to services that require plaintext connections

If your P4 Server installation requires plaintext (in order to support older P4 Server applications), set P4PORT to tcp:hostname:port. If you attempt to use SSL/TLS to connect to a service that expects plaintext connections, the following error message is displayed:

Perforce client error:
    SSL connect to ssl:_host_:_port_ failed (Connection reset by peer).
    Remove SSL protocol prefix from P4PORT.

Set P4PORT to tcp:hostname:port (or, if you are using applications at release 2011.1 or earlier, set P4PORT to hostname:port), and attempt to reconnect to the service.
