APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An XMS .NET client fails to connect to a queue manager if
  certificate label is set in the application.  Following error is
  thrown
  CWSMQ0006E:  An exception was received during the call to the
  method  ConnectionFactory.CreateConnection: CompCode: 2,
  Reason: 2393.
  During execution of the specified method an exception was
  thrown by another component.
  
  The following can be seen in the queue manager error log:
  
  The channel is lacking a certificate to use for the SSL
  handshake. The channel
  name is 'TEST' (if '????' it is unknown at this stage in the
  SSL processing).
  The remote host is 'ABC(xxx.xx.xx.xx)'.
  The channel did not start.
  

Local fix

• Set the following properties in mqclient.ini file:
  
  SSL:
    CertificateLabel={client certificate labelname]
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  XMS.NET APPLICATIONS USING XMSC.WMQ_SSL_CLIENT_CERT_LABEL
  PROPERTY TO SET THE CERTIFICATE LABEL
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If certificate label is set using XMSC.WMQ_SSL_CLIENT_CERT_LABEL
  property in the XMS.NET application, XMS.NET doesn't pick the
  value set in the application,rather uses the default value i.e
  "ibmwebspheremquserid",which is wrong.If certificate label is
  set in the application, XMS.NET should use the same while
  establishing a connection to the queue manager.
  

Problem conclusion

• If certificate label property is set in the application, XMS.NET
  should use the same for establishing a connection to the queue
  manager.
