The SSL context says IBMJSSE2
Do they need to enable TLS 1.0 somewhere? I know some patching levels of Unix disable it. |

WAS 8.5.5 on RHEL
MQ Z/OS 9.0.0 QM
WAS is getting a MQRC 2400 (Cipher not supported).
What are the possible causes of this?
Cipher is set to SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA |

I don't have a pass to enter the hallowed portal of z/os systems programming.
Before I risk disturbing the demi-Gods, what sort of issue are you suggesting here? |

The issue is that for various reasons the developers of an application (already in production) want to change their connection model from one connect - many messages, to one connect - one message.

| So the question is really - does using shared conversations mitigate the increased overhead (e.g. 5 times the CPU) of making a fresh connection for each message for a MQ client application connecting ... |

TLS 1.2 cipher is used. Network is internal so pretty fast. No exits.
I have observed 5 different connections with 10 conversations allowed (and active) per connections.
So it is re-using the TC ... |

Let's assume we have an application which connects to MQ for every message that it puts/gets from their queues (request/reply) then disconnects.
I know this is not the best practice but what I woul ... |

Thanks for that. Yes I assume that z/OS 2.3 on a z/14 will use the cryptographic processor.
In fact the CHIN needs RACF read access to a resource in the CSFSERV class for the GCM cipher to work at ... |

We have a MQ sender/receiver channel pair to another QM - one end is z/OS MQ v9.0 and the other end is z/OS MQ v9.1
It's high volume (hundreds per second) and currently secured with the TLS 1.2 ci ... |

When it (the off mainframe app) works it does keep the queue depth mostly at zero.
But yes I was tempted to use an analogy like a Roll-Royce hitched to a Moped. |
