MQSSLFIPS

MQSSLFIPS specifies whether only FIPS-certified algorithms are to be used if cryptography is carried out in IBM MQ . The values are the same as for the SSLFIPS parameter of the ALTER QMGR command.

The use of FIPS-certified algorithms is affected by the use of cryptographic hardware, see Specifying that only FIPS-certified CipherSpecs are used at run time on the MQI client.

To set this variable use one of these commands:

• On Windows systems:

  SET MQSSLFIPS=YES|NO
  

• On UNIX and Linux systems:

  export MQSSLFIPS=YES|NO
  

• On IBM i:

  ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(MQSSLFIPS) VALUE(YES|NO)
  

The default is NO.
