Hi,
In my company we planning to use encryption on MQ communications using SSL certificates. The first step I have to do is to create the keyrings where SSL certificates will be stored, on each server (Windows and Linux systems).
My question is: If I have more than one queue manager in a system, should I create one keyring per queue manager or create a unique keyring for all queue managers? If both options are possible, which is better (advantages/disadvantages)?
Another question I have: Is possible to use a unique SSL certificate for severals queue managers in a system?
Regards,
Adib |

Inadvisable

Better is one key store per queue manager, the reasons for which are obvious, i.e. what happens wen the network share containing the key store files is unavailable? What happens if the key store files become corrupted?

Look at the label naming requirements for a queue manager, then see if you can answer your own question.
