The Prepare
WebSphere® MQ wizard
helps you to migrate any Secure Socket Layer connections from a previous installation.
The

To continue, click Next.
- If you do not have
any WebSphere MQ clients on this computer
that have been set up to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections, this
step is missed, go to step 9.
If you have WebSphere MQ clients

of SSL connections window is displayed. The clients with SSL connections
were identified when you used the Check WebSphere MQ Certificate
Stores wizard in the installation launchpad. Read the information

expiry intervals.

files, select Use a single password and expiry interval for all
key database files, enter a password and expiry interval, then
click Next.
- If you want to use different passwords and expiry intervals for each
database file, select Prompt for individual passwords and expiry
intervals, then click Next.
- A progress dialog is displayed while the certificate store files
chosen in step 3 are scheduled
for migration. If you selected "Prompt for individual passwords
and expiry intervals" in step 4,
a panel requesting this information will be displayed for each certificate
store file you selected. Complete the information in each of the panels displayed,
then click Next.
- A panel is displayed showing a summary of the store
files that have been scheduled for migration. Click Next to
continue.
- Now the wizard asks you to confirm that your Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Authority Revocation Lists (ARLs) are in a format
supported by WebSphere MQ for Windows®, Version 6.0.
- If CRLs and ARLs are not used, select Not Used and
click Next.

but multiple Organizational Unit entries are not used, select Not
Used and click Next.
