I have set up an SSL connection from an MQ client on windows to an MQ queue manager on AIX. I used the MO04 support pack, and I was able to complete all the tasks and get the sample program working.
Now I'm ready to move on and connect with MQ/Explorer using the same SSL SVRCONN channel. I am having problems making that work.
Currently I am getting this message at the queue manager end:
AMQ9639: Remote channel 'SSL.SVRCONN' did not specify a CipherSpec.
I'm assuming that I did not specify the parameters correctly in MQ/Explorer.
I have set both the "Trusted Certificate Store" and the "Personal Certificate Store" to point to the certificate repository on the windows system, which is:
C:\akey\key.kdb
I also set the "SSL CipherSpec" to DES_SHA_EXPORT, which is what I have set on SVRCONN channel on the server side.
Should I be putting the certificate names somewhere ?
I have ibmwebspheremq<qmname> on the server and ibmwebspheremq<userid> on the client side.
Anything else I may have forgotten ? |

Thanks for the response. I had created a key.kdb on my windows system. I now have both a key.kdb and a key.jks. MQ/Explorer now works. I followed most of the instruction in your link, but there is one part I didn't do, and MQ/Explorer seems to work without it.
I didn't create a client channel definition ( and therefore didn't copy it to my windows system ). What does that do exactly, and why does MQ /Explorer work with out that step ? |

You want to  client manual in the infocenter  and it will answer your question.

Does your SVRCONN definition specify SSLCAUTH(REQUIRED) or SSLCAUTH(OPTIONAL)?
