Starting the Broker (Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Administration Guide)

Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Administration Guide

Starting the Broker

Start the broker, providing the key store password. You can provide the password in either of two ways:

Allow the broker to prompt you for the password when it starts up:
```
   imqbrokerd
   Please enter Keystore password:
```
Put the password in a password file, as described in Password Files. Then set the property imq.passfile.enabled = true and do one of the following:
- Pass the location of the password file to the imqbrokerd command:
```
imqbrokerd -passfile /passfileDirectory/passfileName
```
- Start the broker without the -passfile option, but specify the location of the password file using the following two broker configuration properties:
```
imq.passfile.dirpath=/passfileDirectoryimq.passfile.name=passfileName
```

Note –

When you start a broker or client with SSL, you may notice a sharp increase in CPU usage for a few seconds. This is because the JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) method java.security.SecureRandom, which Message Queue uses to generate random numbers, takes a significant amount of time to create the initial random number seed. Once the seed is created, the CPU usage level will drop to normal.
