Requirements for personal certificates

 

WebSphere MQ supports digital certificates that comply with the X.509 standard. Since MQ is a peer to peer system, in SSL terminology this is viewed as client authentication, which means that any personal certificate used for SSL authentication needs to allow a key usage of client authentication. Not all server certificates have this option enabled, so the certificate provider might need to enable client authentication on the root CA for the secure certificate.
