Queue based security is handled internally by WebSphere MQ Everyplace and does not require any specific action by the initiator or recipient of the message. Local and Message-level security must be initiated by an application.
All three categories protect Message data by the application of an MQeAttribute , or a descendent. Depending on the category, the attribute is either explicitly or implicitly applied.
Every attribute can contain any or all of the following objects:
The way these objects are used depends on the category of WebSphere MQ Everyplace security. Each category of security is described in detail later in this chapter.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace also provides the following services to assist with security:
These services are used by queue-based security and message-level security using MQeTrustAttribute.
These services can be used by queue-based and message-level security.
These services can be used by queue-based and message-level security.
These services are described in more detail later in the chapter.
