You can define new outbound chains by using the wsadmin utility. These chains can be used for bootstrapping connections to messaging engines.
Bootstrap protocol | TCP channel | SSL channel | HTTP channel | HTTP tunneling channel | JFAP channel |
TCP | X | X | |||
SSL | X | X | X | ||
HTTP | X | X | X | X | |
HTTPS | X | X | X | X | X |
For example, a chain for bootstrapping that uses the SSL protocol would consist of a TCP channel, SSL channel, and JFAP channel. When you create chains, the order of channels in the chain is important. You must specify channels in the order (left to right) in which they appear in the preceding table.
The example in this topic describes how to create a bootstrap chain that is capable of bootstrapping by using the HTTPS protocol. This requires a chain containing all the channel types described. Thus, it is easy to see how to create chains for other protocols by omitting channels during the chain creation step.
