Hi,
I'm trying to use Hermes in order to connect to a remote MQ Queue Manager.
I tried two approachs using MQConnectionFactory:
1- With the following parameters:
- SSLCipherSuite - ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- channel - MQ_CONF_CHANNEL
- hostName - SERVER_HOSTNÂME
- port - SERVER_PORT
- queueManager - QM_NAME
- transportType - 1
In this case i get the following error on MQ Server:
EXPLANATION:
AMQ9639E: Remote channel 'MQ_CONF_CHANNEL' did not specify a CipherSpec.
2- With the following parameters:
- CCDTURL - file://TAB_FILE_LOCATION.TAB
- queueManager - QM_NAME
- transportType - 1
This TAB file works with RFHutil but here Hermes keeps trying to connect to localhost, even when i set the transportType to client (1):
CC=2;RC=2538;AMQ9204: Connection to host 'localhost(1414)'
On boath approachs i'm running Hermes within a IBM JRE and when starting up i've added the following parameters:
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore="C:\Software\HermesJMS\bin\keystore.jks" -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password
Any idea?
Thanks |

Hi there,
Using SSL/TLS is not something that you can only configure at one end. You will have to make changes at both the client end and the queue manager end.

This error message is very clear. It is telling you that on the queue manager the channel of TYPE(SVRCONN) is not specifying a cipher spec. You need to issue the following command on the queue manager to rectify this:-
| Code: |
| ALTER CHANNEL(MQ_CONF_CHANNEL) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) SSLCIPH(ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA256) |

This second one suggests that Hermes is not making use of the CCDT. I am not familiar enough with Hermes to know if it supports using the CCDT. Given how long CCDTs have been around, it would surprise me if it didn't.
The parameters that you list here - are they Hermes parameters? Could you give us a little context on where/what the parameters are?
Cheers,
Morag

Hermes has not been updated in 8 years. I thought I read a long time ago, that the Hermes developer is no longer with us.
You probably want to consider using a different tool. You can find a list of similar tools here.
