If anyone is ineteresting in this theme, there is a new edition of Security Guide on the IBM website:

http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/csqzas01.pdf

Moreover, the last Admin Guide contents a comprehensive description about amqmcert and gsk6cmd.

Kolban,

I wished I had read your posting prior to my decision to clear up the certificate repository as I ran into the same problem which meant that I needed to create a new CA certificate as well. I have had DLL hell before but this is the first time for Certificate hell.

All my testing so far has been with PKCS12 certificates with exportable private keys. This is not a recommended practise for us and so now i need to test with some certificates without exportable keys.

Has anyone else done any testing with importing keys into the key repository and can they point me in the direction of some instructions to save me some time.

Thanks
DMJ

Maybe too late now, but there's an article in issue 42 (December 2002) of the MQ Update magazine which has a step-by-step guide on doing the above - and it works!

The thing I asked myself - how do I know it works? Is it really using encryption or what? The amqerr01.logs only show the channel starting normally. The only way to check is to run a trace (strmqtrc) and look at the trace file for runmqchl.

Regards ... RvZ

The Port Sniffer included with Kevin Tobin's download (referenced earlier in the thread) is easy to install and use and clearly shows that the data really is being encrypted!

Guys,
I must be being obtuse, I couldn't find the port sniffer y'all mentioned in this thread ...

My own contribution to port sniffing can be found at:

How would it be different in case the client program is written in java? I am asking this because java does not use client channel table.


Also could you point out what error I am making in creating self-signed certificate using gsk6dba?

gsk6cmd -cert -create -db /var/mqm/qmgrs/DHOCLM2/ssl/key.kdb -pw password -label testcert -size 512

Do I need to specify any extra parameters? How about -dn param? I do not understand what its value would be. Do I need to have LDAP or something?
