Encrypting passphrases for MQTT TLS channels
You can encrypt passphrases for MQTT TLS channels with the MQXR service STARTARG option -sf.
About this task
When a channel is created or altered, the passphrase is encrypted using a credentials key file. This key file is specified by using the -sf option in the STARTARG parameter when you define the MQXR service. The encrypted passphrases are stored in the platform-specific properties file, mqxr_win.properties or mqxr_unix.properties.
This task assumes that an MQXR service is defined on your system. You can configure the MXQR
service, including the steps to specify a credentials key file, by using the following topics:
- By using the IBM® MQ Explorer on Windows: Defining the MQXR service manually on Windows
- By using the IBM MQ Explorer on Linux®: Defining the MQXR service manually on Linux
- By using the command line on Windows:
