Introduction
This article shows you how to configure an Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection from a Java™/JMS client to an IBM® WebSphere® MQ Queue Manager. It covers the creation of test certificates but does not cover any MQ configuration information. It is purely a Java/JMS client guide and requires an IBM SDK.
Steps 1, 3, and 4 below are required to configure an SSL connection. Do Step 2 only if you wish to configure client authentication. To reduce complexity and simplify debugging of any potential problems, I recommend that you not use client authentication initially. After you have a basic SSL connection, you can move up to client authentication.
If you experience configuration problems, it may help to specify the debug flag: -Djavax.net.debug=true
