Hi,
I have a question: I want to use SSL secure SVRCONN channel to monitor qmgrs. I managed to get it works with personal certificate, but it is against the company rules 
So i try to use personal SmartCard, I have extracted my certificate but can't import to the key.kdb. Did anybody knows how to "linked" the SmartCard to a kdb?
Or how to monitor qmgrs via secured the SVRCONN channel using SmartCard?

What format did you extract the certificate in? X509?

Tx for your reply fjb,
It is extracted in der-type (binary), I guess it is X509.

Does the company believe a personal smart-card will be more secure than a personal certificate?

I know.. don't ask me i am not making the rules  But this is what I am facing up right now. I also found out some difference between the content of the SmartCard (SC) and the p12.
On my workstation I log on with a ID e.g. AA11BB while on my SmartCard it contains my name e.g. DTRAN.
I guess the SVRCONN under water sends my logon ID to the queue manager. Am I correct? Because I manage to extract the content of my SC and put it into a key.kdb but the connection failed with
"AMQ9633: Bad SSL certificate for channel 'SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN'."
If the workstation ID is sent then I can request for a SC with workstation ID

From these post it looks like you have a limited understanding of how SSL works.
Don't play around with the certs. Enroll the help of the security and MQ admins.
Have fun
