Create a self-signed personal certificate

 

Use the following procedure to create a self-signed personal certificate:

1. Generate a certificate and a public and private key pair using the following command:

   RACDCERT ID(userid2) GENCERT
   SUBJECTSDN(CN('common-name')
              T('title')
              OU('organizational-unit')
              O('organization')
              L('locality')
              SP('state-or-province')
              C('country'))
   WITHLABEL('label-name')

2. Connect the certificate to your key ring using the following command:

   RACDCERT ID(userid1)
   CONNECT(ID(userid2) LABEL('label-name') RING(ring-name) USAGE(PERSONAL))

where:

• userid1 is the user ID of the channel initiator address space or owner of the shared key ring.

• userid2 is the user ID associated with the certificate.

• ring-name is the name you gave the key ring in Set up a key repository.

• label-name must be in the correct WebSphere MQ format for a queue manager: ibmWebSphereMQ followed by the name of your queue manager, for example, ibmWebSphereMQCSQ1.

Note that userid1 and userid2 can be the same ID.
