MQ_LOGGING_CONSOLE_SOURCE

Valid values are qmgr and web.

Default value is qmgr.

MQ_TLS_KEYSTORE

DEPRECATED: see Supplying TLS certificates.

Allows you to supply the location of a PKCS#12 keystore containing a single certificate that you want to use in both the web console and the queue manager.

Requires MQ_TLS_PASSPHRASE.

When enabled, the channels created are secured using the TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 Cipher Spec. Note that you need to make the keystore available inside your container. You can do this by mounting a volume to your container.

MQ_TLS_PASSPHRASE

DEPRECATED: see Supplying TLS certificates.

The passphrase for the keystore is referenced in MQ_TLS_KEYSTORE.
