IBM like to claim mainframes are the most secure platform.

Why then does MQ on z/OS not support OCSP?

I don't know if using CRLs is a realistic alternative - what do people generally do?

Most of our certificates are issued by our own CA.

I suspect it was because at the time of being introduced on Distributed MQ, System SSL (the z/OS implementation of GSKit) did not support OCSP. It would appear that they do now.

Perhaps you should raise an MQ Idea?
