The Security tab contains two sub tabs: Sender and
Receiver. While both tabs contain the same fields, the fields on the
Receiver tab are not editable by default.
- Use Sender’s Security Definition
-
Note: This field is available only on the Receiver tab and is
activated only when you clear the Use Same Channel for Sender and
Receiver check box on the mailbox MQSeries panel
.
- Select the Use Sender’s Security Definition check box to use
the same settings as on the Sender tab. Clear the check box to
enable the rest of the fields on the tab, where you can specify security setting for the Receiver.
- Enable Secure Connection
- Enables the rest of the fields in the tab. Select the check box if the
server-connection channel is using SSL message encryption. If you are provided with a
server certificate for the MQSeries Queue Manager, copy it to the certs subdirectory of
the VersaLex
product. If this is not provided, a dialog box is displayed when you connect to the
Queue Manager to allow you to trust the server certificate provided by the Queue Manager
per connection session or permanently.
- MQ SSL Cipher Spec
- Select the spec provided to you by the MQSeries Queue Manager administrator. The list
of available cipher specs supported by the VersaLex
application requires that the Queue Manager be running with the latest IBM PTF. It is
not guaranteed, however, that all cipher specs in the list will be supported by the
version of the Queue Manager to which you are connecting.
- Authenticate Client
- Enables the Client Certificate fields. Select the check box if
the server-connection channel used to transport your messages requires client
authentication. In this case, you must also provide a client certificate that will be
installed in the Queue Manager's key repository to authenticate your connection.
- Certificate Alias
- Password
- Alias and password for the certificate you created for this server-connection
channel. See Certificate management for more information on creating a client
certificate.
