Migrating SSL connections

 

WebSphere MQ for Windows, V6.0 provides the Global Security Toolkit (GSKit) for improved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support for queue manager and WebSphere MQ client channels. If you have WebSphere MQ V5.3 queue managers or clients set up to use SSL connections, or if you are unsure if your queue managers or clients have been set up in this way, refer to the WebSphere MQ Migration Information.

Follow the guidance in the WebSphere MQ Migration Information to determine whether WebSphere MQ V5.3 queue managers or clients have been set up to use SSL connections, and to ensure these channels continue to work with WebSphere MQ for Windows, V6.0. The migration process causes a copy of the certificates stored in the WebSphere MQ V5.3 Certificate Stores used by WebSphere MQ V5.3 to be migrated to a GSKit Key database.
