I never actually got the chance to hack around, work got in the way

However, whenever I need to refresh my knowledge of the commands, I normally have a look HERE, although I'm sure the same information is also held elsewhere.

As far as I am aware, the GUI runs exactly the same commands as you would issue from the command line.


Not when it comes to changing personal certificate label. I quoted that in my first post:
Quote:
It is not possible to change a certificate label using iKeycmd or GSKCapiCmd.

And here is the link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.csqzas.doc/sy12360_.htm

Does anyone know if the key database can be created on one system and them copy it over to another? The fact that I have to use a GUI tool for SSL configuration makes it impossible to deploy our solution production environment.

Key stores can be created off-box then put in the relevant directory on the server hosting the queue manager/client as it's only the SSLKEYR or SSLKEYRC attribute that determines what key store 'belongs' to the client/queue manager - however, most security departments tend to frown on keys/key stores being transported between servers.

And apologies, I missed the statement you made in regard to being unable to change the label using the command line

Yes, it's one of those... when doing the right thing is wrong.

Thank you for your reply. I tried to copy the key db once and it didn't work which was probably a side effect of extreme multitasking. I'll give it another shot.

Easiest method I found was to create a sub-directory of the name of the queue manager, create the key store and subsequent certificate request within that directory, receive the certificate, then copy the contents of the sub-directory to the target server. All done as mqm of course, and also on the same platform as the target. Good luck with it
