Answer 1

It looks like the cipher spec defined on your Connection Factory is not compatible with the cipher suites configured on your MQ channel or supported by IBM MQ.

You can check the Connection Factory settings in you application server config. To inspect the channel, you could either use the IBM MQ Console or runmqsc <YOUR_QM_NAME> and then DISPLAY CHANNEL('<YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME>') to find the value of SSLCIPH( ) .

This page in the IBM MQ Knowledge Centre outlines the cipher naming policies and interoperability. It might also be worth taking a look at the alias options here .

If you are using a non-IBM JRE, then check you have set the JVM property -Dcom.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings=false for your application server runtime.

There is a simple IBM MQ TLS tutorial here which contains a more detailed overview and includes some useful links.
