Locating the key repository for a queue manager on UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems

Use this procedure to obtain the location of your queue manager's key database file

Procedure

  1. Display your queue manager's attributes, using either of the following MQSC commands:
    DISPLAY QMGR ALL
    DISPLAY QMGR SSLKEYR
    
    You can also display your queue manager's attributes using the IBM® WebSphere® MQ Explorer or PCF commands.
  2. Examine the command output for the path and stem name of the key database file.
    For example,
    1. on UNIX and Linux® systems: /var/mqm/qmgrs/QM1/ssl/key, where /var/mqm/qmgrs/QM1/ssl is the path and key is the stem name
    2. on Windows: MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\qmgrs\QM1\ssl\key, where MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\qmgrs\QM1\ssl is the path and key is the stem name. MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which WebSphere MQ is installed.
