Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

 

WebSphere MQ base Java client applications and WebSphere MQ JMS connections using TRANSPORT(CLIENT) support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL provides communication encryption, authentication, and message integrity. It is typically used to secure communications between any two peers on the Internet or within an intranet.

WebSphere MQ classes for Java uses Java™ Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) to handle SSL encryption, and so requires a JSSE provider. J2SE v1.4 JVMs have a JSSE provider built in. Details of how to manage and store certificates can vary from provider to provider. For information about this, refer to your JSSE provider's documentation.

This section assumes that your JSSE provider is correctly installed and configured, and that suitable certificates have been installed and made available to your JSSE provider.

If your WebSphere MQ JMS client application uses a client channel definition table to connect to a queue manager, see Using a client channel definition table.
