SSLRESETCOUNT object property

 

This property represents the total number of bytes sent and received by a connection before the secret key that is used for encryption is renegotiated. The number of bytes sent is the number before encryption, and the number of bytes received is the number after decryption. The number of bytes also includes control information sent and received by the WebSphere MQ JMS client.

For example, to configure a ConnectionFactory object that can be used to create a connection over an SSL enabled MQI channel whose secret key is renegotiated after 4 MB of data have flowed, issue the following command to JMSAdmin:

ALTER CF(my.cf) SSLRESETCOUNT(4194304)

An application can set this property by calling the setSSLResetCount() method of a ConnectionFactory object.

If the value of this property is zero, which is the default value, the secret key is never renegotiated. The property is ignored if no CipherSuite is set.

If you are using an HP or Sun Java™ 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE), do not set this property to a value other than zero. If you do set the property to a value other than zero, a connection fails when it attempts to renegotiate the secret key.

For more information about the secret key that is used for encryption on an SSL enabled channel, see WebSphere MQ Security.
