Set up security on HP Integrity NonStop Server

Security considerations specific to HP Integrity NonStop Server systems.

The IBM MQ client for HP Integrity NonStop Server supports the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to provide link level security when we are connecting to a queue manager. These protocols are supported by using an implementation of OpenSSL. OpenSSL requires a source of random data for providing strong cryptographic operations.

• Entropy daemon on HP Integrity NonStop Server
  OpenSSL requires a source of random data for providing strong cryptographic operations. Random number generation is a capability that is usually provided by the operating system or by a system-wide daemon process. The HP Integrity NonStop Server operating system does not provide this capability within the operating system.
