The name of the cipher spec to be used on a secure connection to a queue manager.
The canonical values of this property that apply to XMS are:
For additional information about these values, see WebSphere MQ Security.
The following example shows how this value is supplied at the MQI:
strncpy(pChDef->SSLCipherSpec, "TRIPLE_DES_SHA_US", sizeof(pChDef->SSLCipherSpec));
XMS takes a copy of the first 32 bytes of the string in the correct single-byte code page into the SSLCipherSpec field of the channel definition structure, MQCD before calling MQCONNX.
If a value is specified for the XMSC_WMQ_SSL_CIPHER_SPEC property, this value overrides any value that is specified for the XMSC_WMQ_SSL_CIPHER_SUITE property. If neither of these properties has a specified value, the MQCD.SSLCipherSpec field is filled with space characters.
The XMSC_WMQ_SSL_CIPHER_SPEC property is relevant only if the application connects to a queue manager in client mode.
For .NET only: managed connections to WMQ (WMQ_CM_CLIENT) will not support SSL connections, but these might be supported by using an unmanaged connection (WMQ_CM_CLIENT_UNMANAGED). Refer to the WebSphere MQ Using .NET manual for accurate information.
By default, the property is not set.
