I have a question regarding the SSL for MQ. First, here's my scenario

In a windows enivronment I use OpenSSL and create a self-signed certificate and private key. I then create a server private key and a server certificate request. I sign this request with the CA key and then export this signed personal certificate into a PKCS12 format to be used in the queue manager or client store. In this example I used the same CA key to sign both private keys.

In a Unix environment I use ikeyman and create a key store and self signed certificate on both the receiver end and sender end within their respective key stores. Then I export their CA certificates (arm files) into the opposite keystores (for 2 way authentication).

Both scenario's work but the question is does the window's environment require that the personal certificate be signed by the same CA key on both ends? Assuming I want a 2 way authentication.

Doesn't seem that the Unix environment uses the same CA signature because I created both seperately.

Thanks
