| I have setup ssl between two queue managers running on winxp. I wanted to test whether the messages are getting encrypted, tried to setup the java sniffer, but its not working. Someone told me that i can do tcpdump and test it. Can you give me more details like step by step instructions on how to set that??? as i am new to mq ssl. Thank You |

mqkid,
Though I have never used tcpdump myself, a quick search of the internet (Google search engine) turned up this infromation:
http://www.tcpdump.org/tcpdump_man.html
Surely you can do the same next time. |

have you gone through man pages of tcpdump? You may be new to ssl but tcpdump is an unix utility. check the man pages they have given examples on usage try it out.

AFAIK it is a UNIX command and will not work on Windows.
However what is the problem with the java port sniffer supplied with SSL tutorial. |

My favourite sniffer that works on Windows is Ethereal: http://www.ethereal.com/.

I found a way to run the sps.bat under unix:
add /opt/mqm/ssl/bin to $PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/ssl/bin
$JAVA_HOME=/opt/mqm/ssl
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/mqm/ssl
sps.sh
java -cp sps.jar:$JAVA_HOME SimpleProxyServer
./sps.sh localhost <realport> <bogusport>
<realport> is the actual port used by the queue manager
<bogusport> is the bogus port you use for the conname
Many system admins remove tcpdump or have security standards which don't allow others to sniff ports.
