Auto-registration

MQe provides default services that support auto-registration. These services are automatically triggered when an authenticatable entity is configured, for example when a queue manager is started or when a new queue is defined. In both cases registration is triggered and new credentials are created and stored in the entity's private registry. Therefore, auto-registration provides a simple mechanism to establish credentials for message-level protection.

Auto-registration steps include:
  1. Generating a new RSA key pair
  2. Protecting and saving the private key in the private registry
  3. Packaging the public key in a new certificate request to the default mini-certificate server
Assuming the mini-certificate server is configured and available, it returns the entity's new mini-certificate, along with its own. These servers and the protected private key are stored in the entity's private registry as its new credentials.

See Security for more detailed information on auto-registration.
