SOLVED
Hi,

I'm getting a very puzzling error.
I have configured my SSLKEY value to this for my queue manager:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\CAP02REPL\ssl\key
I get this error:
AMQ9642: No SSL certificate for channel 'to.mqhub_01'.
I've set the SSL for 'to.mqhub_01' to NULL_SHA and REQUIRED.
The key.* files are readable and writable by the user the queue manager is running under.

If I put:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\CAP02REPL\ssl\key.kdb
I get this error:
AMQ9660: SSL key repository: password stash file absent or unusable.

I've stashed the password many times with key manager tool, and the .sth file is there!

What could problem be?


Thanks...

I assume the full path and name of your key file is "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\CAP02REPL\ssl\key.kdb". Then you should put "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\CAP02REPL\ssl\key" in SSLKEYR of your qmgr.

Now check whether you have your qmgr's cert with the label of "ibmwebspheremq<your_qmgr_name>" in the repository. On Windows, your own cert should be labeled like that, all small letters.

And have you issued "refresh security type(ssl)" or restarted qmgr after the change?

You say teh label should be all small letters. My queue manager name is all caps - should I still use all letteres for the label name?

Have you read the WMQ Security manual? There's a chapter "Working with SSL or TLS on UNIX and Windows systems."

A quick search for key label in this manual came up with:
ibmwebspheremq followed by the name of your queue manager changed to lower case. For example, for QM1, ibmwebspheremqqm1
