Hi all,

I need help is validating some information, that I am having trouble understanding. I am an entry level mq admin and not a programmer.

The issue is this.

There is a mq series server (Solaris 9, mq 5.3 csd 07) that has a svrconn channel (SSLCHANNEL) defined with following attribute SSLCIPH(TRIPLE_DES_SHA_US). I have also used the ikeyman utility to setup SSL certificates.

Question 1: Is the above all that needs to be done to setup SSL on the server side for the SVRCONN channel?

On the mq client side: (Solaris 8, mq 5.3 client install w/ SSL support) We do not want to authenticate the client that is why the server channel definition has left the parameter SSLCAUTH(OPTIONAL)
I do not know what needs to be setup on client side.

Question 2: How do I connect to the queue manager via svrconn channel and make sure that it used SSL?

Question 3: Does the mq client also need a key repository?

Please help this is urgent.

Thanks

1. Yes, but... in a run-time environment the GSKit (ikeyman) isn't needed but keystore. On mq client side: same.

2. A simple way is using channel connection table, generated by command DEFINE CHANNEL(<chl>) CHLTYPE(clntconn) ... SSLCIPH(<cipher>) on qmgr side.

3. Yes.
