Policy names in AMS

The policy name is a unique name that identifies a specific Advanced Message Security policy and the queue to which it applies.

The policy name must be the same as the queue name to which it applies. There is a one-to-one mapping between an Advanced Message Security ( AMS ) policy and a queue.

By creating a policy with the same name as a queue, you activate the policy for that queue. Queues without matching policy names are not protected by AMS.

The scope of the policy is relevant to the local queue manager and its queues. Remote queue managers must have their own locally-defined policies for the queues they manage.
