| I usually configure MO71 for client connections by providing the SVRCONN name and letting MO71 dynamically create a Client Connection channel. However, I am in the process of implementing SSL for MO71 and want to know if there is a way to verify that MO71 will use the locally defined CCDT (created via MO72) vs the way it currently connects. |

In the remote 'location setup' of MO71 you have all the information needed to set up an SSL SVRCONN channel without use of a channel table.
Of course if you want other tools like is03 (rfhutil) to access the qmgr via the SSL channel you're better off using the environment variables and the channel table.
Have fun

| In the client configuration panel I see SSL Cipher Spec, but there is no way to enter the SSL Repository Location. What am I missing? Where in the GUI is the place to enter this information? |

| Usually the best way to get support with any supportPac is to review the documentation that comes with it and see what it says about contacting the author/maintaner(s). |

Make sure your release is recent, if not update.
You should have in client location:
- SSL Cipher Spec
- Sharing Conversations (V7 only)
- Client Weight (V7 only)
- Affinity (V7 only?)
- SSL Peer Name
- SSL Key Repository
With those 3 SSL attributes you should be able to setup your conversation.
Have fun

Select a Cipher Spec from the drop down, watch additional SSL related fields magically appear, because they are only valid if Cipher Spec is filled in.

| Fantastic! Thanks very much fjb and Peter for the help. I see that with these 3 SSL fields I should be able to get mo71 to dynamically create a client connection channel with SSL. However, suppose that I need to create a CCDT anyway (for RFHUTIL as has been suggested) and I decided to use the CCDT with mo71, would I need to configure the mo71 client location differently in order to use it? |

You can configure the MO71 location fully, or you can just fill in the qmgr name and let the CCDT resolve it. But for that to happen you need to make sure your environment variables are set before starting mo71.
Have fun
