Using security exits

To invoke a security exit for communications between the Message Brokers Toolkit and the Configuration Manager, one must be defined when the domain connection is created.

  1. Click File > New > Domain. The Domain view appears.
  2. Enter the queue manager name, host, and port that you wish to use.
  3. Optional: Enter the security exit name. This must be a valid Java class name.
  4. Optional: Enter the location of the JAR file for the Security Exit require to connect to the WebSphere MQ queue manager. Use the Browse button to find the file location.
    Note: The location of the JAR file is required if a Security Exit class is entered.

When the connection is attempted, the security exit is invoked.

Alternatively, you can use SSL when communicating between the Configuration Manager Proxy (CMP) and the Configuration Manager; see Implementing SSL authentication.
