Securing messaging

The steps to take to secure asynchronous messaging.

About this task

Security for messaging is enabled only when WebSphere® Application Server administrative security is enabled. In this case:

Standard Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) authentication is used for a request to create a new connection to a messaging provider. If authentication is successful, the JMS connection is created; if authentication fails, the connection request is ended.

Notes:
  • User IDs that are longer than 12 characters cannot be used for authentication with the V5 default messaging provider or with a WebSphere MQ network. For example, the default Windows® user ID "Administrator" is not valid for use in this context because it contains 13 characters.
  • To enable the WebSphere MQ messaging provider to connect in bindings transport mode to WebSphere MQ, you set theTransport type parameter on the WebSphere MQ queue connection factory to BINDINGS, and you configure the WebSphere MQ messaging provider with native libraries information.
    You must also choose one of the following options:
    • If you are using security credentials (user ID and password), ensure that the user specified is the current logged-on user for the WebSphere Application Server process, otherwise the following WebSphere MQ JMS Bindings authentication exception message is generated: MQJMS2013 invalid security authentication supplied for MQQueueManager.
    • If you are not using security credentials, ensure that neither the Component-managed Authentication Alias nor the Container-managed Authentication Alias properties are set on the connection factory.

To secure your asynchronous messaging, complete one or more of the following steps:
