| I'm currently running MQ 5.3 on Solaris 9. I successfully configured a ssl enabled channel, but I can't get any client software to connect to it. Does anyone have any good documentation on getting a client such as IH03 to connect to a SSL enabled channel? IBM's docs don't seem to help. Any help would be appreciated. |

| I haven't done this. But try your luck searching the site and infocenter for MQSSLKEYR env variable. |

Don't you mean UNsuccessfully configured?
How can it be a success if it does not work?

This response doesn't help at all. You shouldn't post stupid comments.
I configured two channels on separate queue managers and they successfully connected each other from two separate Solaris boxes. My problem is that I cannot find any windows client software to connect to the ssl enabled channel. |

You shouldn't make fun of people offering you free advice.
It's an entirely helpful respone from Nigel. Your statement made no sense - "it's successfully configured, but it doesn't work". So he's asking you to be more clear.
Also, you are under the mistaken impression that anyone here has any onus to be helpful at all. Posting here is entirely voluntary, and if someone chooses to post only things that are unhelpful or rude, then that's just the way it is.

You don't know what you're doing. You're trying to do the wrong thing.
You can't connect a client to any kind of channel that will be used between two queue managers.
Please read the Intercommunications Manual, or at least the Clients manual.

| I've read both of those manuals. They don't provide much help with this issue. I just want to know if there is any windows software available that can connect to one ssl enable channel on a queue manager? |

What they will help with is the kind of channel you do need to set up to connect a client. 
You might also want to try the Security manual, for more SSL specific assistance.

Yes there is. From my Windows XP client machine I have used amqsputc/amqsgetc and rfhutilc to connect to an SSL-enabled SVRCONN channel. If you have your channels, certificates, and channel table set up correctly you can do it. |

Did you use a different type of connect string with IH03 to connect to the SSL enabled channel? Or did you use the usual connect string of the form channel/TCP/host(port)?
Thanks! |

There you will find such things as...
| Code: |
You cannot use the MQSERVER environment variable to specify that a channel
uses SSL. |
...and other useful information. |
