Hi All

We have just upgraded to Websphere MQ 7.5.0.6 on Redhat Linux 7.1 with Java 1.7 and need to establish a secure connection from wildfly-8.2.1.

I have tried numerous options/ciphersuites even tried re-enabling the following:
AllowSSLV3=y
AllowWeakCipherSpec=Yes
in the qm.ini.

I however get either :

WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2400' ('MQRC_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER_SUITE').

(I have enabled various cipher suites in the listener-https of Wildfly)

or

“AMQ9637: Channel is lacking a certificate.”

(key.kdb file is created, security refreshed etc)

I am using Oracle Java (not IBM Java) and have also installed the 2 jar's to allow for this...

I am at the end of my tether right now and will appreciate any guidance please!

Thank you

Well Carlo... there is a lot that changed in the SSL context since the beginning of 7.5 (7.5.0.0)...
It would really help if you could specify for both sides:
  • The algorithm with which the key was created
  • The size (length) of the key
  • The cipherspec / ciphersuite to be used
  • The setting for SSLFIPS


Have fun

I have to ask the obvious question - you did restart the queue manager after the changes to the qm.ini file?

Since you are using the Oracle Java, be aware of this APAR -> http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT10837

Also, you should be aware that pre-8.0, it is not a supported client configuration unless you install the MQ Client software on the client server and reference the jars from the appropriate location. "installed the 2 jar's" sounds unsupported, to me.

Thank you so far for the replies, to answer the quickest one first:

exerk - yes thanks, I did restart. Also did security refresh.


fjb_saper:
The algorithm with which the key was created
QM: Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
WF: Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
The size (length) of the key
QM: Public-Key: (1024 bit)
WF: Public-Key: (2048 bit)
The cipherspec / ciphersuite to be used
QM: SSLCIPH(TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256)
WF: <property name="jms.queue.manager.sslCipherSuite" value="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256"/>
The setting for SSLFIPS
QM: SSLFIPS(NO)
WF: No setting

tczielke:
When you download the fix for Oracle Java support it consists of 2 jar's which according to the instructions should be placed in the java jre/lib/security folder as temporary workaround for not using IBM Java.

Thank you so far

Cheers

Carlo

What are names of the 2 Oracle jars? Which config document are following?

Your ciphersuite should probably be SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 WITH SSLFIPS set to true. (See correspondances in the manual).
However I highlighted your real problem in red. Today there is no way to get a SHA2 ciphersuite to work with a key-size under 2048...
So you need to reissue the qmgrs private/public key with the right minimum size... (2K).

Have fun

Hi fjb_saper

Thank you for the help so far.

Now I have the following:

The algorithm with which the key was created
QM: Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
WF: Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
The size (length) of the key
QM: Public-Key: (2048 bit)
WF: Public-Key: (2048 bit)
The cipherspec / ciphersuite to be used
QM: SSLCIPH(TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256) (from https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.ibm.mq.dev.doc/q113220_.htm)
WF: <property name="jms.queue.manager.sslCipherSuite" value="SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256"/>
The setting for SSLFIPS
QM: SSLFIPS(YES)
WF: No setting

I am however still getting:

Caused by: com.ibm.mq.MQException: JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2400' ('MQRC_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER_SUITE').

in Wildfly log when I start up. Nothing in MQ error logs.

Your reference is for MQ8. You are running on 7.5.
Please check first:

With your current settings does it work if you are running on an IBM JVM (Provided with the full MQ Client install) ?
If yes, search (google) for the relevant technote on developerworks about using a non IBM JVM (there is an environment variable to be set?). That would allow you the TLS ciphersuite.

See JVM argument and apar in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV66840
Code:
-Dcom.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings=false

Hope it helps

Hi

I tried IBM JVM (had to download V7, MQ 7 comes with V6). It however gives other errors:

JBAS015804: Error initializing vault -- org.jboss.as.server.services.security.VaultReaderException: JBAS013313: Vault Reader Exception:

And Wildfly terminates.


I have also set:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings=false -Djavax.net.debug=all"

WAS 8.5.5 on RHEL
MQ Z/OS 9.0.0 QM

WAS is getting a MQRC 2400 (Cipher not supported).

What are the possible causes of this?

Cipher is set to SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

I assume WAS is using an IBM JRE here? SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (the proper name is TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA per the IETF specification) is a TLS 1.0 CipherSuite. You may want to check if WAS is set up to not support that low of a TLS CipherSuite.

The SSL context says IBMJSSE2

Do they need to enable TLS 1.0 somewhere? I know some patching levels of Unix disable it.

I am not familiar with WAS, so can not comment. Not sure what you situation is, but it would be better to just go to a TLS 1.2 CipherSuite.
