Hi,

I have 3 Queue Managers in my environment, can i procure one SSL certificate and share this across 3 QM's. .I have searched for documents online and could find less info about this setup. I have read about setting the certificate to default certificate by setting up an environment variable AMQ_SSL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_CERT with value 1. This doesnt work for us.

Can some provide some info regarding this or info about how to make the certificate default cert.

Thanks in advance

Shaan

Each queue manager should have its own certificate; not to do so is pretty pointless from a security context as the CN value of the certificate DN should ideally be unique, e.g. the queue manager name.

You say that setting the AMQ_SSL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_CERT variable 'failed' but you do not state which version of WMQ you are using, and whether the conditions stated HERE were met or not.

If you want less work with the certs, look at the red books where it tells you how to set up your own cert authority.
