Configure SSL between Websphere App Server and Websphere MQ

I try connect to WMQ from a simple web service launched on WebSphere app server.

On WMQ I have channel with SSL. I use self-signed certificates for now.

In the case of glassfish I just add this cert to key store in domain and all works well(off cause I configure my MQQueueConnectionFactory).

But on WebSphere this trick don't work:

[5/13/13 14:00:25:058 FET] 00000060 SystemOut     O %% Invalidated:  [Session-94, SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5]

How do I configure WebSphere app server to use ssl(how to add server(WMQ) certificate to trust store? or where is the trust store?)?

Ok. I solve this by myself.

Configure WMQ:

  1. Create keystore

    runmqckm -keydb -create -db "c:\dev\sslqm001\sslqm001.kdb" -pw serverpass -type cms -expire 365 -stash

  2. Create certificate and add it to keystore

    runmqckm -cert -create -db "c:\dev\sslqm001\sslqm001.kdb" -pw serverpass -label ibmwebspheremqssl_qm001 -dn "CN=SSL_QM001,OU=IT,O=SomeCompany,L=Minsk,ST=Belarus,C= BY" -expire 365

  3. Export this certificate from keystore to file.

    runmqckm -cert -extract -db "c:\dev\sslqm001\sslqm001.kdb" -pw serverpass -label ibmwebspheremqssl_qm001 -target SSL_QM001.crt -format ascii

  4. In Queue Manager settings, tab "SSL" set path to keystore without .kdb and FIPS to No:

    ALTER QMGR SSLKEYR('c:\dev\sslqm001\sslqm001') ALTER QMGR SSLFIPS(NO)

  5. Create new channel

  6. In channel settings, tab "SSL" set cipher to some value(with works for me: DES_SHA_EXPORT), and auth to optional

    DEFINE CHANNEL('SSL_CHANNEL') CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) SSLCIPH(DES_SHA_EXPORT) SSLCAUTH(OPTIONAL) REPLACE

  7. In Queue Manager refresh SSL:

    REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL)

Change your appcontex:

<bean id="mqConnectionFactory" class="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory">
    <property name="hostName" value="${queue_hostname}"/>
    <property name="port" value="${queue_port}"/>
    <property name="queueManager" value="${queue_manager}"/>
    <property name="transportType" value="1"/>
    <property name="SSLCipherSuite" value="SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5"/>
    <property name="channel" value="ssl_channel"/>
</bean>

Setup SSL on WAS

  1. Go To:

    Security → SSL certificate and key management → SSL configurations → NodeDefaultSSLSettings → Key stores and certificates → NameOfStore → Signer certificates

  2. Add your certificate, that we export in step 3
