MQ

Hi,

I have 2 queue managers in 2 different Openshift clusters. I want to connect both QMs via SSL.

Today, it is possible to access both queue managers externally to Openshift via Load Balancer IP (MetalLB) using port 1414.

1. QM1 has the certs and the CA authority of QM1 and QM2. -> qm1-server(1414)
2. QM2 has the certs and the CA authority of QM2 and QM1 -> qm2-server(1414)

I define a Sender channel "REMOTE" and a reciever called "REMOTE" without SSL and connection works,

1 : DISPLAY CHANNEL(REMOTE) (QM2)
AMQ8414I: Display Channel details.
   CHANNEL(REMOTE)                         CHLTYPE(RCVR)
   MCAUSER( )                              MONCHL(QMGR)

 1 : DISPLAY CHANNEL(REMOTE) QM1 (SENDER
AMQ8414I: Display Channel details.
   CHANNEL(REMOTE)                         CHLTYPE(SDR)
   COMPMSG(NONE)                           CONNAME(qm2-server(1414))

Now i want to connect both 2 queue managers, so i enabled SSL in the sender/reciever. and fails (i guess it makes sense as 1414 is not a ssl port?)

"

2025-02-13T18:44:55.129Z AMQ9999E: Channel 'REMOTE' to host 'tqm2-server(1414)' ended abnormally. [CommentInsert1(REMOTE), CommentInsert2(93258), CommentInsert3(qm2-server(1414))]"

My questions are:

can i use hostname (load balancer name) to connect both queue managers via channel with SSL?

I guess my second choice is to use a route, but i dont understand this settings IBM WebSphere MQ: How does MQ provide multiple certificates (CERTLABL) capability

As my base route is something like *.apps.server2.domain.com.

how do i need to configure an SNI to access to Channel: REMOTE, Queue manager: QM2?

should be something like remote.qm2.chl.ibm.com ?? what  this domain means?

thanks in advance!
