WebSphere MQ Provider topic connection factory settings for application clients

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic connection factory for use with the WebSphere MQ product Java Message Service (JMS) provider. These configuration properties control how connections are created between the JMS provider and WebSphere MQ.

To view this Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > Messaging Providers > WebSphere MQ Provider. Right-click Topic Connection Factories and click New.

Note:

A topic connection factory for the WebSphere MQ product JMS provider has the following properties.

Name

The name by which this topic connection factory is known for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server. The name must be unique within the JMS provider.

Data type String

Description

A description of this topic connection factory for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.

Data type String

JNDI Name

The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name that is used to bind the topic connection factory into the application server name space.

As a convention, use the fully qualified JNDI name; for example, in the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource.

This name is used to link the platform binding information. The binding associates the resources defined by the deployment descriptor of the module to the actual (physical) resources bound into JNDI by the platform.

Data type String
Units En_US ASCII characters
Range 1 through 45 ASCII characters

User ID

The user ID used, with the Password property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly.

If you specify a value for the User property, also specify a value for the Password property.

The connection factory User and Password properties are used if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly, for example, if the calling application uses the method createTopicConnection(). The JMS client flows the userid and password to the JMS server.

SSL cipher suite

Specifies the cipher suite to use for SSL connection to WebSphere MQ.

Set this property to a valid cipher suite provided by your JSSE provider. The value must match the CipherSpec specified on the SVRCONN channel as the href="#MQQueueConnectionFactory_channel">Channel property.

You must set this property, if you set the href="#SSLPEERNAME"> SSL Peer Name property.

SSL certificate store

Specifies a list of zero or more Certificate Revocation List (CRL) servers used to check for SSL certificate revocation. If you specify a value for this property, use WebSphere MQ JVM at Java 2 version 1.4.

The value is a space-delimited list of entries of the form 

ldap://hostname:[port]

A single slash (/) follows this value. If port is omitted, the default LDAP port of 389 is assumed. At connect-time, the SSL certificate presented by the server is checked against the specified CRL servers. For more information about CRL security, see the section "Working with Certificate Revocation Lists" in the WebSphere MQ Security book; for example at: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/html/csqzas01/csqzas012w.htm#IDX2254.

SSL peer name

For SSL, a distinguished name skeleton that must match the name provided by the WebSphere MQ queue manager. The distinguished name is used to check the identifying certificate presented by the server at connection time.

If this property is not set, such certificate checking is performed.

The SSL peer name property is ignored if SSL Cipher Suite property is not specified.

This property is a list of attribute name and value pairs separated by commas or semicolons. For example 

CN=QMGR.*, OU=IBM, OU=WEBSPHERE

The example given checks the identifying certificate presented by the server at connect-time. For the connection to succeed, the certificate must have a Common Name beginning QMGR., and must have at least two Organizational Unit names, the first of which is IBM and the second WEBSPHERE. Checking is not case-sensitive.

For more details about distinguished names and their use with WebSphere MQ, see the section "Distinguished Names" in the WebSphere MQ Security book.

Connection pool

Specifies an optional set of connection pool settings.

Connection pool properties are common to all J2C connectors.

The application server pools connections and sessions with the JMS provider to improve performance. This is independent from any WebSphere MQ connection pooling. Configure the connection and session pool properties appropriately for your applications, otherwise you may not get the connection and session behavior that you want.

Change the size of the connection pool if concurrent server-side access to the JMS resource exceeds the default value. The size of the connection pool is set on a per queue or topic basis.

Data type Check box
Default Selected
