# Manually transferring SSL certificates used by a specified queue manager

This section gives an example of using the AMQTCERT command to manually transfer the SSL certificates from a WebSphere® MQ queue manager certificate store.

You can manually transfer SSL certificates used by a WebSphere MQ queue manager on the computer by entering at a command prompt:

      	 amqtcert -m QM1
             -w "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\QM1\SSL\key"
             -g "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\QM1\SSL\key"
             -p MyPassword

Where:

- `-m` specifies the name of the queue manager for the certificate store to be migrated
- `-w` specifies the fully qualified file name (excluding the .sto suffix) of the WebSphere MQ Certificate Store
- `-g` specifies the fully qualified file name (excluding the .kdb suffix) of GSKit key database
- `-p` states the password to be set for the GSKit key database

Note:

1. The command should appear on a single line, but has been displayed as above for the purposes of this documentation
2. The GSKit key database must not exist before using this command as this command will create it

For details of all the options available for this command, see the Version 7.0 WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide.
