Conversation level authentication

 

When a local TP attempts to allocate a conversation with a partner TP, the local LU sends an attach request to the partner LU, asking it to attach the partner TP. Under certain circumstances, the attach request can contain security information, which the partner LU can use to authenticate the local TP. This is known as conversation level authentication, or end user verification.

The following sections describe how WebSphere MQ provides support for conversation level authentication.

• Support for conversation level authentication in WebSphere MQ on i5/OS, UNIX systems, and Windows systems
