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 Specify 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. Parent topic: Use IBM MQ environment variables
