MQ Web Console should have the option to configure SSL certificates using IBM Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) on IBM i.

The MQ web console starts with a self signed certificate that is all stored in a java keystore called key.jks.  All the documentation for updating and managing is keystore is written for Linux, AIX, and Windows.  The commands used don't work very well on IBM i.  The rest of MQ and other HTTP based services us certificates in IBM's Digital Certificate Manager (DCM).  It's very easy to manage certificates.  Since the web console doesn't use DCM, we have to export and manage the same certificates in multiple locations.  We are having issues getting a non-self signed certificate to work in the MQ console and have an IBM case opened for troubleshooting.  IBM support like the idea of using DCM and making the console run more like a native web application on IBM i.

    I was told this was not possible in the IBM case that was opened and that an idea should be opened. Can you give details as to where the properties file is located that should be updated with the information below? DCM doesn't normally require passwords. Therefore, where did you get the password or is the exact code snippet below what is require since the same code is used else where in the admin HTTP server. If IBM has a configuration document on how to configure the MQ Web Console with DCM, that would be preferred. By default, the MQ web console should come preconfigured using DCM on installation since it is running on an IBM i and DCM is where all certificates are managed.

    The team responsible for Liberty (the webserver underlying the Console) say that they believe this already works by pointing the server configuration at the CMS keystore that DCM uses under the cover located for example in /QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/Server/DEFAULT.KDB

    They provided this snippet:

    <keyStore id="KeyStoreByWebAdmin" location="/QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/Server/DEFAULT.KDB" password="{xor}Lz4sLChvLTs=" provider="IBMi5OSJSSEProvider" type="IBMi5OSKeyStore"/>
    <ssl id="SSLSettingsByWebAdmin" keyStoreRef="KeyStoreByWebAdmin" serverKeyAlias="IBM CA Server/Client Certificate" sslProtocol="TLSv1.3" trustStoreRef="KeyStoreByWebAdmin"/>
    <httpEndpoint host="*" httpPort="-1" httpsPort="2012" id="HttpEndpointByWebAdmin" >
        <sslOptions sslRef="SSLSettingsByWebAdmin"/>
    </httpEndpoint>
