How to do an SSL/TLS trace in Firefox

TLS 1 Minute

I was trying to configure a firefox session to my MQ Web server, but it kept failing. I found a useful way of getting the TLS trace from firefox.

My web site was 10.1.1.2:9443

The command ssltap -s 10.1.1.2:9443 sets up a proxy. It listens on a port (default 1924). In firefox use https://localhost:1924/ibmmq/console/ 1>aa 2>bb. This then talks to the proxy which then talks to the backend. Not perfect but OK.

I retired from IBM where I worked on MQ on z/OS, and did customer stuff. I retired, and keep my hand in with MQ, by playing with it!
