NAME

imqkeytool - generate a self-signed certificate for secure communication  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/imqkeytool [-broker] [-servlet keystore_location]

/usr/bin/imqkeytool -h  

DESCRIPTION

The imqkeytool utility generates a self-signed certificate for secure communication. The certificate can be used by a broker instance to establish a secure connection with a client, or by a Message Queue-supplied HTTPS servlet to establish a secure connection with a broker instance. An HTTPS servlet is an SSL-enabled varient of the HyperText Transfer Protocol that establishes a secure connection with a broker instance.

Without an option, imqkeytool generates a self-signed certificate for a broker instance.

imqkeytool uses command line options to specify whether the certificate is used by a broker instance or by a servlet.  

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-broker

Generate a self-signed certificate for the broker and places it in the Message Queue keystore. All broker instances running on a system must use the same certificate.

-h

Display usage help. Do not execute anything else on the command line.

-servlet keystore_location

Generate a self-signed certificate for an HTTPS servlet and places it in keystore_location.

keystore_location refers to the location of the keystore. You should move this keystore to a location where it is accessible and readable by the Message Queue HTTPS servlet to establish a secure connection with a broker.
