SSLRESETCOUNT object property

This property represents the total number of bytes sent and received by a connection before the secret key that is used for encryption is renegotiated.

The number of bytes sent is the number before encryption, and the number of bytes received is the number after decryption. The number of bytes also includes control information sent and received by IBM® MQ classes for JMS.

For example, to configure a ConnectionFactory object that can be used to create a connection over an SSL enabled MQI channel with a secret key that is renegotiated after 4 MB of data have flowed, issue the following command to JMSAdmin:


ALTER CF(my.cf) SSLRESETCOUNT(4194304)

An application can set this property by calling the setSSLResetCount() method of a ConnectionFactory object.

If the value of this property is zero, which is the default value, the secret key is never renegotiated. The property is ignored if no CipherSuite is set.
