Error description

  • Using a WebSphere MQ JMS connection factory to connect to
    WebSphere MQ queue manager using an SSL enabled channel, the
    connection fails with MQRC 2397.
    
    CWWMQ0087W and CIPHER_SUITES_DONT_MATCH_CWWMQ0088 messages are
    seen in the SystemOut.log just prior to the failing connection
    attempt.  The connection factory does not set a cipher spec
    and the spec from the centrally managed configuration is
    expected to be passed to the queue manager.
    
    The queue manager logs indicate that no cipher spec was
    specified in the connection attempt:
    
    AMQ9639: Remote channel 'channel' did not specify a CipherSpec.

    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WMQ JMS Connection Factory cannot       *
    *                      create connection using SSL enabled     *
    *                      channel.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The code that inteprets the configuration to setup the
    connection factory failed to cope with an empty string in the
    connection factory's cipher spec field.  As a result, no
    cipher spec was used instead of the cipher spec from the
    centrally managed configuration.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR correctly deals with the empty string set for the
    cipher spec and treats it as if it is not set.  As a result
    the cipher spec from the centrally managed configuration will
    be used.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
