Applying the Public Key to the Queue Manager
Each private key assigned to Integration Server will have a corresponding public key. Assign the corresponding public key to the Queue Manager. If the public key is not supplied by the CA, you can generate one from a private key using any Certificate Management Tool.

From a java keystore, the public key can be generated using a java keytool (-export option).
