Hey MQ Gurus,

I need to configure SSL for MQ on platforms AIX and VSE/ESA.
I need to use PKCS10 public/Private key for SSL communication with
digital certificate strength 1024.

There seems no similar Cipher Specs to configure on MQ channels to complete
SSL configuration for MQ on AIX and VSE/ESA. Any one had done this before?

Below are the CipherSpecs on VSE/ESA

01 - NULL MD5
02 - NULL SHA
08 - DES40 SHA for Export
09 - DES SHA for U.S
0A - Triple DES SHA for U.S
62 - RSA_EXPORT1024_DESCBC_SHA

First three options (1,2 & 3) doesn't support 1024 SSL handshake and
options (4 & 5) are for use in US only. Option 6 seems only possible
CipherSpec configuration on MQ Channel on Mainframe.

But there is no similar CipherSpec available for MQ Channel on AIX.

Software Versions are below
1) AIX Version - 5.2
2) MQ on AIX version - 5.3
3) GSKit Version (on AIX) - 6.0
4) VSE/ESA Version - 2.7
5) MQ on VSE/ESA version - 2.1.2

Any Suggestions?
