The level of queue-based security to be used is determined through the
setting of attributes on queues. As a consequence of these attributes,
WebSphere MQ Everyplace uses, if required, appropriate secure channels, and
cryptors, compressors and controls access through authenticators.
The relevant queue properties are:
- Compressor: A compressor is optional. It determines whether
the data should be compressed.
- Cryptor: A cryptor is optional. It determines whether the
data should be encrypted to hide the significance of the contents.
- Authenticator: An authenticator is optional. It determines
whether the data access should be controlled.
- Attribute rule: An attribute rule is optional in the sense that you
can specify a null for this property. If a null is specified, a system
default attribute rule is then used internally. An attribute rule
determines whether an existing channel can be reused or upgraded to access a
particular queue.
