Security exits

You can 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. The security exit is a standard WebSphere MQ security exit, written in Java™.

For an overview of security exits and details in their implementation, refer to the topic "Channel security exit programs" in "Channel-exit programs" in WebSphere MQ Intercommunication. If you have v6 then locate "Channel-exit programs" within the Intercommunication section of the WebSphere MQ Version 6 information center online.
