APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
An inbound SSL/TLS enabled client connection to the QMgr fails with AMQ9642 (rrcE_SSL_NO_REMOTE_CERT). This indicates that there is no certificate being presented by the client although one is present in the hardware cryptographic keyring. The certificate is labelled correctly as ibmwebspheremq+userid. GSKIT returns error 407: GSK_ERROR_BAD_KEYFILE_LABEL. For example, the below is seen in the AMQ.SSL.TRC file : Error: Not Found. Label = <token label>:<token label>:ibmwebspheremqmyuserid
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM MQ with cryptographic hardware. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A coding error when building the certificate label to pass to MQ's cryptographic provider meant that it was possible for MQ to prepend the PKCS #11 token label to the certificate label twice before the certificate label was validated. This caused the validation to fail.
Problem conclusion
The MQ certificate management logic has been modified so that the token label is only appended once to the certificate label as expected. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.11 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.5 v9.1 CD 9.1.1 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.1 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
