Channel attributes

 

WebSphere MQ SSL support includes the following parameters on the DEFINE CHANNEL MQSC command:

SSLCIPH

The CipherSpec for the channel to use. For more information about the CipherSpecs that WebSphere MQ supports, refer to Working with CipherSpecs.

The SSLCIPH parameter is mandatory if you want your channel to use SSL.

SSLPEER

The Distinguished Name pattern that WebSphere MQ uses to decide the entities from which messages are accepted. The SSLPEER pattern filters the Distinguished Names of the entities. For more information, refer to Distinguished Names and WebSphere MQ rules for SSLPEER values.

SSLCAUTH

Whether the SSL server requires the SSL client to send its digital certificate for authentication. For more information about mandatory client authentication, refer to How SSL provides authentication.

For more information about setting these parameters with the DEFINE CHANNEL MQSC command, refer to the WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference.
