7. Define sender channel

 

On QM1 we need to define a sender channel to use SSL. For example:

DEFINE CHANNEL(QM1.TO.QM2) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME(QM1.MACH.COM) XMIT(QM2)
SSLCIPH(RC4_MD5_US) DESCR('Sender channel using SSL from QM1 to QM2')

This example uses CipherSpec RC4_MD5. Note that the CipherSpecs at each end of the channel must be the same.

Only the SSLCIPH parameter is mandatory if you want your channel to use SSL. Refer to Working with CipherSpecs for information about the permitted values for the SSLCIPH parameter.

Refer to the WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference for a complete description of the DEFINE CHANNEL command, and to the WebSphere MQ Intercommunications book for general information about WebSphere MQ channels.

For a description of the i5/OS CRTMQMCHL command, which is used to define channels on i5/OS, refer to the WebSphere MQ for iSeries™ System Administration Guide.
