Error description
Users of WebSphere MQ are unable to change the behaviour of OCSP on a queue manager by using the MQ Explorer, contrary to what is stated in the MQ manuals. This is due to the fact that the SSL tab on the properties pane of a queue manager does not include a field for the OCSPAuthentication attribute.
Local fix
Create registry key under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\Configu ration\QueueManager\<name of queue manager>\SSL where SSL is the new keyword create string value pair as OCSPAuthentication set value to either 'Optional' or 'Warn' OR run amqmdain command to set the new registry key amqmdain reg QMGRNAME -c add -s SSL -v OCSPAuthentication=Optional amqmdain reg QMGRNAME -c add -s SSL -v OCSPAuthentication=Warn Restart the queue manager or run REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) for the change to take effect.
