I was reading the IBM infocenter for MQ 7.5 and noticed this entry

Quote:
XMSC_WMQ_SSL_KEY_REPOSITORY

Data type: String Property of: ConnectionFactory
The location of the key database file in which keys and certificates are stored.

XMS copies the string, up to a limit of 256 single-byte characters, into the MQSCO.KeyRepository field. WebSphere® MQ interprets this string as a filename, including the full path.

For .NET only: Managed connections to WebSphere MQ (WMQ_CM_CLIENT) does not support SSL connections, but might be supported by using an unmanaged connection (WMQ_CM_CLIENT_UNMANAGED).

By default, the property is not set


Sounds like even IBM are not sure it works

Anyone used it?

Just thinking about property of connection factory => JMS construct...

Why would that be a property of the connection factory in .NET ???
I would expect that the environment reference to point towards the key store... whether it be managed or non managed .NET.

Also before V8 XMS only supported SSL in non managed .NET or not at all (I'd have to check) ...

No, I was commenting on the documentation. I am aware that a CMS store is used by XMS.

I was going to ask about managed/unmanaged connections - are you saying that managed is now (finally) supported with MQ v8 clients?

Note key repositories are also changing to the Windows Key Store... (I suspect due to the usage of the .NET SSLStreamClass...)
