MQSSLFIPS

MQSSLFIPS specifies whether only FIPS-certified algorithms are to be used if cryptography is carried out in WebSphere® MQ. The values are the same as for the SSLFIPS parameter of the ALTER QMGR command.

The use of FIPS-certified algorithms is affected by the use of cryptographic hardware, see Specifying that only FIPS-certified CipherSpecs are used at run time on the MQI client.

To set this variable use one of these commands:
  • On Windows systems:
    SET MQSSLFIPS=YES|NO
  • On UNIX and Linux® systems:
    export MQSSLFIPS=YES|NO
The default is NO.
