Discussion

When the messaging server is using PKI authentication, a local revocation cache must be stored for instances when the revocation cannot be authenticated through the network, but if cached authentication information is out of date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.

Check Content

In the MQ Appliance WebGUI, Go to Administration (gear icon) >> Access >> RBM Settings.

Verify that cache setting is defined and specifies "600" seconds.

If the time period is not set to "600" seconds, this is a finding.

Fix Text

In the MQ Appliance WebGUI, Go to Administration (gear icon) >> Access >> RBM Settings.

Limit cache settings to "600" seconds.
