it's not the expiration of the kdb file, but the expiration time is set for the password of the kdb database.

the password will be expired after the mentioned days.

MQ Clients make a SSL connection with Queue Managers and it is one-way authentication only (Client authenticates Server). The Client side .kdb has CA trust certificates which expire after 10 years. So, i don't have to worry about .kdb unless if i want to add new CA trust cert?

Wrong. If you want to use the kdb you need the password for it. If the password is expired you need to renew the password of the kdb and the stash file otherwise your kdb is unusable.

not sure about how to check the expiration about the kdb already created.

But you can change the password according to your choice(Expiry or non expiry etc) for the present kdb if you know the current password.

Try below command, you can find expiry of kdb :

gsk7cmd -keydb -expiry -db "/var/mqm/qmgrs/QM NAME/ssl/QM NAME.kdb" -pw PASSWORD
