Re: webspheremq version 5.3 on AIX 4.3.3 and NT

2002-07-09 Thread Justin Fries

Jerzy,

I have been successful in setting this up using a vanilla 5.3.0.0 install on AIX 5.1 ML2. As I understand it, the JRE 1.4 prereq is for JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension), which is necessary only if you are going to establish SSL-secured Java connections to MQSeries; It should not be necessary for using GSKit.

According to the new MQSeries Security manual, Chapter 11, it is necessary to export your JAVA_HOME=/usr/mqm/ssl/jre on AIX. MQSeries ships a cut-down JRE under that directory just for running gsk6ikm. Java 1.4 can't be required for GSKit:

aemaix4 /usr/mqm/ssl/jre/bin/java -fullversion
java full version J2RE 1.3.1 IBM AIX build ca1311-20011123a


Based on the load failure you are seeing with amqccgsk_r I wonder whether you have all the necessary LPPs installed. Compare your system to mine, and if necessary reinstall using 'smitty install_all' to select the proper LPPs manually:

aemaix4 lslpp -L mqm.* gskak.*
 Fileset   Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
 
 gskak.rte 6.0.2.46  C   F  AIX Certificate and SSL Base

 English
 mqm.server.rte   5.3.0.0  C   F  WebSphere MQ Server


Once you can get gsk6ikm running, it's surprisingly easy to create and exchange two self-signed certificates and test various CipherSpecs. Unless you have crypto hardware, be prepared for your test channels to spend a little extra time in the BINDING state while testing!

Subject:webspheremq version 5.3 on AIX 4.3.3 and NT

   

Does anyone started playing with websphere mqseries v5.3?

I have installed v5.3 on my AIX and NT boxes. All my connections (
channels) work fine without the SSL features but I have multiple problems
when I'm trying to test SSL:
1) I couldn't create self sign digital certificate via gsk6ikm (IBM GSKit
installed with webspheremq v5.3) . IBM tech-support claims that I need JDK
1.4 but the mq documentation says JDK1.3.1 is required. I have JDK1.3.1 on
my box and my JAVA_HOME points to it. ( JDK 1.4 is Beta on IBM site and
has prerequisite of AIX OS 5.1 which I don't have )
2) When I want to use encryption only without Digital Certificate (
RC4_SHA_US or any other CipherSpec on both ends of the channels ) I'm
getting error on my AIX box:
The attempt to load the GSKitSSL library or procedure 'amqccgsk_r' failed
with error code 536895861.
I exported my PATH and LIBPATH pointing them to all possible directories
which have mq or gsk or even java libraries.
3) On NT I was able to create Digital Certificate via makecert software but
I have a 'format error' when I try to Assign this certificate to my NT
Queue Manager.

Does anyone experience similar problem?

thnx, -jerry

One of the options I do not grasp well is the options on the Receiver
channel, STANDARD SETTINGS, there are a few options , which option do I
choose authentication, etc.
It was just an opinion, I do not know SSL at all, and maybe I should
read more about SSL and then try again.
Will the trial period be extended?

 Thanks again,

 Steve,

 Well like I said there are many different ways you
 can achieve this and I
 hesitate to suggest a way to do this because this
 list doesn't let one get
 away with anything. So let me emphasise that this is
 *one* way you *could*
 do this.

 You need a constant, fairly random identifier
 associated with your client.
 You might have a userid + department id or whatever.
 Let's say we use the
 clients machine hostname.

 Now add up the numeric characters in the name. ie.
 in C this could be

 char * p   = HostName; /* null terminated hostname
 */
 intKey = 0;

 while (*p) Key += *p++;


 Now we have the ASCII total for the characters we
 then need to convert this
 into one of 10 names. Well it's a lot easier to
 convert to prime numbers so
 let's convert it to one of 11 names (closest prime).

 int Hash = Key % 11;

 The '%' operator gives us the modulus ie. what's
 left over after division,
 the remainder.

 So now we have a number, Hash, between 0 and 10 that
 is fairly evenly
 spread across our clients.
 We can then define 11 queues, ie. REPLYQ_0,
 REPLYQ_1,
 REPLYQ_2..REPLYQ_10 and use the Hash number as
 part of the queue name
 we open.

 Does this make it any clearer ?

 P.

2002-07-09 Thread Jerzy Pierscinski


Justin,

thnx for your reply.

1) I agree on the JRE 1.4 prereq for JSSE , or at least that's what the
docs say,  but IBM tech support said JRE 1.4 was prereq for GSKit, but they
still checking on it.
2) my JAVA_HOME points to /usr/mqm/ssl/jre
3) /usr/mqm/ssl/jre/bin/java -fullversion shows the same J2RE 1.3.1
version and same build
4) lslpp -L mqm.* gskak.*   show exactly the same filesets and versions
3) Since I have AIX 4.3.3 and you were successful with AIX 5.1 looks like
the problem is with some OS filesets.
  I have PMR#55101-344 with IBM. At this moment we're looking into XLC C++
runtime filesets which might be outdated on my box.


We don't use crypt hardware at this moment. I hope once I jump over this
problem, SSL testing should be smooth.

Jerzy,

1. We don't prereq any version of Java unless you are running the Java or
JMS client. As Justin says, we ship a special jre, which you access by
setting Java home as documented in the Security book.

2. As Justin implies, the failure on loading  amqccgsk_r may indicate that
the underlying SSL support has not been installed properly. You could check
that you have got the file amqcgsk_r in /usr/lpp/mqm/lib, and that there
are several *.so files in the directory /usr/opt/ibm/gskak/lib (amqcgsk_r
needs these). You could then think about paths and permissions for these
files. Or you could just try reinstalling (the SSL parts of) MQ.

Note, with reference to your first append, that you can't run any kind of
SSL channel without use of digital certificates!

3. Test certificates on NT. Makecert is the Microsoft tool which is
intended for this purpose. We have been in communication with Microsoft as
to how to make this work in the way we need it to, and we are optimistic
that , at the right service level and with the right parameters, it can be
used to create test certificates which can be used on WMQ SSL channels.

For the moment, though,we recommend the following approach to getting a
free test certificate for your
Windows environment (it looks more complex than it is!)

1. Go to website: www.digsigtrust.com  (using Internet Explorer)

2. Click on Products/Services

3. Click on Get a TrustID Demo Certificate

4. Fill in the identification form and click Continue

5. Check your form contents and click Continue

6. You are asked to Select a mechanism for storing your TrustID digital
certificate  from the options below

You should select browser (NOT  roaming)

7. Click accept on the certificate agreement

8. Next panel: leave 1024 as the Key Bit Length, and select Microsoft
Enhanced Cryptographic Provider

9. Next panel: you don't have to do anything (you will already have the DST
root certificate, the root of the CA certificate chain, so you don't need
to download this)

10. Next you receive a URL in your email, with an activation code.

11. Access the URL through Internet Explorer.

12. It will give you the activation code, you just have to type in the
passcode you gave on the identification form at step 4.
Click Retrieve.

13. You now have your personal certificate, click Continue

14. Go into Internet Explorer, Select Tools-Internet
Options-Content-Certificates

15. Select the Personal Tab and you will see a certificate with your name
in the Issued To column and DEMO CA A6
in the Issued By column.

16. Double click (left mouse button) on that certificate. This brings up a
display of certificate information.

17. Click on the Certification Path tab. This shows you the chain of CA
certificates you need to validate this personal certificate


From here, if you have never added certificates to WebSphere MQ on this
Windows system before, you have to use the amqmcert command line tool to
add in the personal certificate you have obtained.

This involves listing the certificates in the Microsoft MY store:
amqmcert -k MY -l
and then adding the personal certificate you have obtained into your  queue
manager store: e.g. amqmcert -a 14002 -m fred, where 14002 is the handle
for the certificate in the amqmcert list, and fred is the queue manager
name.

Note that you can add further certificates using the GUI once you have
added this one using amqmcert.

You then have to export the CA certificates in the chain and ftp them to
you UNIX system, where you add them as signer certificates using iKeyman.

WMQI on Cluster

2002-07-09 Thread Hornby, Derek

... I have WMQI running on a Solaris clustered environment... on one of the nodes, I 
have a Queue Manager and Broker running successfully, but on the backup node, I have 
the same name Queue Manager
running, but when I try to start the associated broker, it can't seem to find the 
Queue Manager (it's as if the Queue Manager name is missing from somewhere it should 
be...) -- and this is the error I
get, if anyone has any suggestions...

#223 mqsistart NEONAP1P
AMQ7048: The queue manager name is either not valid or not known
BIP8048E: Unable to start MQSeries Queue Manager ''.
This command attempts to start an MQSeries Queue Manager, the Queue Manager could not 
be started.
Locate and resolve the problem and retry the command.

2002-07-09 Thread Tony Devitt



Derek,
I 
don't have access to a Solaris machine but it seems that, under Windows 
'mqsistart' must get its information from the NT Registry, i.e. database name 
and queue manager name. I have a mental blank as to what the Unix equivalent is! 
Anyway, am fairly sure the QM name is not obtained from a DB2 
table.

  no Chris, -- but thank you anyway -- I created the broker on 
  the "other side" of the cluster, and used the parm "-q NEONAP1P" , and 
  everything works fine on that side... it's on the "b" side that things act 
  strange... the Queue Manager can be started, but the broker fails with the 
  message below, which makes me think that some entry (maybe in DB2) didn't get 
  populated on the "b" side of the cluster, but if I knew where it went, I could 
  put it in manuallyI wonder 
  if the queue manager name was omitted when the mqsicreatebrokercommand was 
  used to create the broker.

XA Support MQSeries 5.3 with DB2 7.1

2002-07-09 Thread B.Rajkumar



Hi,
 I am trying to 
configure XA Support for MQseries 5.3 with DB2 as Resource Manager.
I have created the db2swit load file and 
also modified the qm.ini file with the following entries

XAResourceManager: Name=DB2 thbs_db 
SwitchFile=/usr/bin/db2swit XAOpenString=thbs_db

When I start the Queue Manager I get the 
following error..

--

7/09/02 
20:37:22AMQ6188: The system could not dynamically load the shared 
library'/usr/bin/db2swit' due to a problem with the library. The error 
message was'The system call does not exist on this system. (MQPlugInit)'. 
The queuemanager will continue without this library.

EXPLANATION:This 
message applies to AIX systems. The shared library '/usr/bin/db2swit'failed 
to load correctly due to a problem with the library.ACTION:Check that 
the library exists and is in the correct place with the correct 
filepermissions etc. and has not been corrupted. Check that the entry 
point'MQStart' has been exported from the library.- amqxufnx.c : 667 
07/09/02 
20:37:22AMQ7622: WebSphere MQ could not load the XA switch load file for 
resourcemanager 'DB2 thbs_db'.

EXPLANATION:An error 
has occurred loading XA switch file /usr/bin/db2swit. If the erroroccurred 
during startup then the queue manager will terminate. At all othertimes the 
queue manager will continue without this resource manager meaningthat it 
will no longer be able to participate in global transactions. The 
queuemanager will also retry the load of the switch file at regular 
intervals sothat the resource manager will be able to participate again 
should the loadproblem be resolved.ACTION:Look for a previous 
message outlining the reason for the load failure. MessageAMQ6175 is issued 
if the load failed because of a system error. If this is thecase then follow 
the guidance given in message AMQ6175 to resolve the problem.--

Please give ur thoughts on the above 
problem.

Thanks in advance,

Rajkumar
