MQSeries.net :: View topic - SSL Channel starting with blank SSLCIPH on one end

Hello All,

I faced an issue where I witnessed the SSL Channels started with SSLCIPH blank on one end of the MQ setup.

I was migrating existing MQ Clustered non SSL Setup to a SSL Setup.

I had changed the CLUSRCVR Channel definition to include the SSLCIPH attribute TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA and SSLCIPH as REQUIRED(to allow Mutual Auth)

Now the CLUSSDR end of the channel is starting just fine and comes to running start with SSLPEER value populated with the cert details even when I did not provide the SSLCIPH values at the CLUSSDR channel end.

I am wondering how is it working provided that the SSLCIPH value must be same on both ends of the channels

Any idea?

Thanks
