Hi Guys,

i have configured the SSL with self signed certificate. our env is AIX5.2 CSD11, mq 5.3

in the doc it shows how to verify the ssl, you need to give the following command
DISPLAY CHS(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
The resulting output will be similar to the following:
dis chs(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
5 : dis chs(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
AMQ8417: Display Channel Status details.
CHANNEL(QM2.TO.QM1) CHLTYPE(RCVR)
CONNAME(9.20.35.92) CURRENT
RQMNAME(QM1)
SSLCERTI(CN=QM1,OU="WebSphere MQ Development",O=IBM,ST=Hampshire,C=UK
SSLPEER(CN=QM1,OU="WebSphere MQ Development",O=IBM,ST=Hampshire,C=UK)
STATUS(RUNNING) SUBSTATE(RECEIVE)
XMITQ( )


i am successfully getting the sslpeer parameter but i dont get sslcerti parameter.. am i missing something .. or its available in MQ6.0

does the parameter sslpeer above safely says : SSL is configured all ok.


thks for you advise

Are you using self-signed certificates? Or CA-signed certificates?

IIRC (and I may not) you don't get sslcerti with self-signed certificates.

But I'm not altogether certain.

I'd try it. If the SSL authentication works, the SSL is set up correctly!

Hi vitor, jeff,

Yep, I am using self signed certificate. But one more thing, I checked with
MQ5.3 and MQ6.0, we only get SSLCERTI with display channel status on MQ6.0, there is no channel status parameter SSLCERTI in MQ5.3.

plz let me know if my understanding / finding is correct. ALso whether sslpeer parameter on the channel status is enough to conclude that SSL is setu pall ok on MQ 5.3


thks

Hi,

the channels are in running state also.. is it safe to assume that SSL is working fine.

thks
