Hi,

What permissions are needed on the folder containing the SSL key files on Windows? I'm getting the following error when trying to start a channel that uses SSL:

----- amqrmrsa.c : 459 --------------------------------------------------------
5/28/2009 12:59:36 - Process(5220. User(MUSR_MQADMIN) Program(amqrmppa.exe)
AMQ9637: Channel is lacking a certificate.

EXPLANATION:
The channel is lacking a certificate to use for the SSL handshake. The channel
name is '????' (if '????' it is unknown at this stage in the SSL processing).
The channel did not start.
ACTION:
Make sure the appropriate certificates are correctly configured in the key
repositories for both ends of the channel.

If you have migrated from WebSphere MQ V5.3 to V6, it is possible that the
missing certificate is due to a failure during SSL key repository migration.
Check the relevant error logs. If these show that an orphan certificate was
encountered then you should obtain the relevant missing certification authority
(signer) certificates and then import these and the orphan certificate into the
WebSphere MQ V6 key repository, and then re-start the channel.

My key files are in c:\mqm\ssl\ and I have c:\mqm\ssl\key as the location of the key repository in my queue manager properties.

The local group 'mqm' and the local user 'MUSR_MQADMIN' have read rights on the folder and key files.

Please help? I've never had success with SSL for MQ in Windows.

Thanks!

I think I may have found the error.

My queue manager name is all caps, so I requested a certificate with the label ibmwebspheremqALLCAPSQUEUEMANAGERNAME. I think the correct label should be ibmwebspheremqallcapsqueuemanagername, regardless if the queue manager name is in all caps or not.

As stated in the manual in regard to that platform...also, you may wish to look HERE for further information.
