				Hi,
 
 
Tested with selfsiged certificates between 2 queue managers on the same AIX Host successfully.
 
 
Now trying to use CA signed Certificates on 2 different AIX hosts.
 
 
The sender channels just stay in a binding state from both hosts. If tested without ssl it goes running. 
 
 
QM1 - personal cert ibmwebspheremqqm1
 
       - signer sertificates  - the complete ca chain.
 
qm2 - personal cert ibmwebspheremqqm2
 
       - signer sertificates  - the complete ca chain
 
 
Can it be something with the size of the key (4096) or MTU on the network ?
 
 
Thanks in advance

				Something is missing in the Qmgr .kdb files or you didn't refresh security correctly.
 
 
A Qmgr KDB file needs:
 
 
- Personal Cert
 
 - CA Signer cert chain of it's personal cert
 
 - CA Signer cert chain of any Qmgr you want to trust
 
  
 
 
You only need to do a CHANNEL PING to find out if you have it right. |

So you've looked at DISPLAY CHSTATUS and seen the field STATUS(BINDING). Can you tell us what the field SUBSTATE says? I expect SUBSTATE(SSLHANDSK).
 
 
Do you have OCSP configured? That can sometimes take a very long time to return the answer.
 
 
Cheers
