Use security exit programs to verify that
the partner at the other end of a connection is genuine.
When you start the Message Brokers Toolkit a security
exit to monitor the connection to the Configuration
Manager is
not started by default. If you want to protect access to the Configuration
Manager from
client programs, you can use the WebSphere® MQ security
exit facility.
If you want to use a security exit to provide connection security, you
must define one when you create a new domain connection in the Domains view
of the
Message Brokers Toolkit. You can enable security
exits on the connection from the
Message Brokers Toolkit to
the
Configuration
Manager.
- Set up a security exit on the channel at the Configuration
Manager end.
This security exit does not have any special requirements; you can provide
a standard security exit.
- Set up a security exit in the Message Brokers Toolkit.
Identify the security exit properties when you create the domain connection.
The security exit is a standard
WebSphere MQ security
exit, written in Java™.
For an overview of security exits and details in their implementation,
see "Channel security exit programs" in the Intercommunication section
of the WebSphere MQ Version 6 information center
online or the WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 book on the WebSphere MQ
library Web page.
