Managing keys and certificates on AIX, Linux, and Windows

Note: The runmqakm command provides the same functions as the GSKit gskitcapicmd command. The runmqktool command provides the same functions as the Java keytool command.

Before using the runmqakm or runmqktool commands, ensure that the systems environment variables are correctly configured by running the setmqenv command.

The runmqktool command requires the IBM® MQ JRE component to be installed. If this component is not installed you can use the runmqakm command instead.

If you need to manage TLS certificates in a way that is FIPS compliant, use the runmqakm command. This is because the runmqakm command supports stronger encryption.
