SSL Inter-working issue between WebSphere MQ V6.0 systems and WebSphere MQ V5.3 Windows systems

 

This section describes an issue in connecting to WebSphere MQ V5.3 Windows system from WebSphere MQ V6.0 systems using SSL.

In WebSphere MQ V6.0 we can renegotiate the secret key on an SSL channel (see WebSphere MQ Security book). If you configure secret key renegotiation on a channel that is connecting to a WebSphere MQ V5.3 Windows queue manager, the channel will not connect successfully unless both the following are in place:

• The WebSphere MQ V5.3 Windows system has Fix Pack 7 or later installed

• Any of the following operating systems and updates are installed:

  • Windows XP SP2

  • Windows XP SP1 and hotfix Q822541

  • Windows XP and hotfix Q822541

  • Windows 2000 SP4 and hotfix Q822541

  • Windows 2003 is installed
