# Automatically transferring SSL certificates used by all queue managers

This section gives an example of using the AMQTCERT command to automatically transfer the SSL certificates from all WebSphere® MQ Version 5.3 queue managers certificate stores (on the current system).

You can schedule the transfer of SSL certificates used by all queue managers on the computer by entering at a command prompt:

      	 amqtcert -a -m * -p password -e passwordExpiry

Where:

- `password` is the password for all key databases created
- `passwordExpiry` is the number of days until new passwords are required

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

Transfer of certificates will occur for each queue manager when it next starts. For each queue manager, the path and stem of where the source WebSphere MQ certificate store and the target GSKit key database file are, is determined by the SSLKeyRepository queue manager attribute.WebSphere MQ client certificate stores will not be transferred by this command.
