Securing the connection to IMS by using SSL

Configure the IMSRequest node to communicate with IMS™ over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol by creating a keystore file, and configuring the broker to use SSL.

Before you start:

Set up a public key infrastructure (PKI) at broker level by following the instructions in Setting up a public key infrastructure.

To configure the IMSRequest node to use SSL, complete the following steps.

  1. Turn on SSL support in the broker by setting the UseSSL and SSLEncryptionType properties on the IMSConnect configurable service, as shown in the following example.
    This example changes the IMSRequest node that is configured to use the myIMSConnectService configurable service. After you run this command, the IMSRequest node connects to IMS over SSL.
    mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c IMSConnect -o myIMSConnectService -n 
    UseSSL,SSLEncryptionType -v True,Weak
  2. Optional: Develop a message flow that contains a IMSRequest node.
  3. Test your configuration.
