Authentication information objects

An authentication information object contains authentication information used in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted transport of information. An authentication information object of AUTHTYPE CRLLDAP provides the definitions required to perform Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checking using LDAP servers. CRLs allow Certification Authorities to revoke certificates that can no longer be trusted.

For a full description of the attributes of authentication information objects, see the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Reference. For more information about SSL, see WebSphere MQ Security.
