				Hi Guys,
 
 
i have configured the SSL with self signed certificate. our env is AIX5.2 CSD11, mq 5.3
 
 
in the doc it shows how to verify the ssl, you need to give the following command
 
DISPLAY CHS(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
 
The resulting output will be similar to the following: 
 
dis chs(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
 
     5 : dis chs(QM1.TO.QM2) SSLPEER SSLCERTI
 
AMQ8417: Display Channel Status details.
 
   CHANNEL(QM2.TO.QM1)                     CHLTYPE(RCVR)
 
   CONNAME(9.20.35.92)                     CURRENT
 
   RQMNAME(QM1)
 
   SSLCERTI(CN=QM1,OU="WebSphere MQ Development",O=IBM,ST=Hampshire,C=UK
 
   SSLPEER(CN=QM1,OU="WebSphere MQ Development",O=IBM,ST=Hampshire,C=UK)
 
   STATUS(RUNNING)                         SUBSTATE(RECEIVE)
 
   XMITQ( )
 
 
i am successfully getting the sslpeer parameter but i dont get sslcerti parameter.. am i missing something .. or its available in MQ6.0
 
 
does the parameter sslpeer above safely says : SSL is configured all ok.
 
 
 
thks for you advise

				Are you using self-signed certificates? Or CA-signed certificates? _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

IIRC (and I may not) you don't get sslcerti with self-signed certificates.
 
 
But I'm not altogether certain.
 
 
I'd try it. If the SSL authentication works, the SSL is set up correctly! _________________ Honesty is the best policy.

				Hi vitor,  jeff,
 
 
Yep, I am using self signed certificate. But one more thing, I checked with 
 
MQ5.3 and MQ6.0, we only get SSLCERTI with display channel status on MQ6.0, there is no  channel status parameter SSLCERTI in MQ5.3.
 
 
plz let me know if my understanding / finding is correct.  ALso whether sslpeer parameter on the channel status is enough to conclude that SSL is setu pall ok  on MQ 5.3

				Hi,
 
 
 the channels are in running state also.. is it safe to assume that  SSL is working fine.
