Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of the AMQP service with a keystore defined containing certificates to secure the channels. Platforms affected: Windows, AIX, Linux on x86-64 **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the AMQP service was started, there was an attempt to load the keystore to get the certs for SSL-enabled channels. This failed because the way the keystore was being loaded was no longer valid, following a modification of allowed behaviour due to a GSKit update.
Problem conclusion
The method used to load the keystore now works correctly, and the service starts successfully without error. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.6 v9.0 CD 9.0.2 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.1 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
