imqkeytool(1M) System Administration Commands imqkeytool(1M)NAMEimqkeytool - generate a self-signed certificate for secure communica‐
tion
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/imqkeytool [-broker] [-servlet keystore_location]
/usr/bin/imqkeytool -h
DESCRIPTION
The imqkeytool utility generates a self-signed certificate for secure
communication. The certificate can be used by a broker instance to
establish a secure connection with a client, or by a Message Queue-sup‐
plied HTTPS servlet to establish a secure connection with a broker
instance. An HTTPS servlet is an SSL-enabled varient of the HyperText
Transfer Protocol that establishes a secure connection with a broker
instance.
Without an option, imqkeytool generates a self-signed certificate for a
broker instance.
imqkeytool uses command line options to specify whether the certificate
is used by a broker instance or by a servlet.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-broker Generate a self-signed certificate for
the broker and places it in the Message
Queue keystore. All broker instances run‐
ning on a system must use the same cer‐
tificate.
-h Display usage help. Do not execute any‐
thing else on the command line.
-servlet keystore_location Generate a self-signed certificate for an
HTTPS servlet and places it in key‐
store_location.
keystore_location refers to the location
of the keystore. You should move this
keystore to a location where it is acces‐
sible and readable by the Message Queue
HTTPS servlet to establish a secure con‐
nection with a broker.
