HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\Security

Data type Range Default value
REG_SZ string There is no default value for this entry.

Description

Specifies the name of the machine certificate store where the server certificate for the local server is stored.

This entry is used only on a Message Queuing server that runs on a Windows 2000 domain controller. The server certificate is used for the Secured Communication feature, where Message Queuing clients can verify that they query an authentic Message Queuing server.

The value of this entry is set when the user registers a server certificate through Control Panel. The value is read by Message Queuing the first time a client wants to authenticate the server.
