Enabling WebSphere MQ V8

To enable TLS support for the WebSphere connectors, WebSphere MQ V8 must be supported.

MQ Client jar files

To complete the WebSphere MQ V8 support you must obtain and install the following MQ Client jar files:

•	com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar

•	com.ibm.mq.headers.jar

•	com.ibm.mq.jar

•	com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar

•	com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar

You can obtain these files from an existing MQ server or MQ Client installation or downloaded them from IBM. When you have the files you must install them in the following directory:

<Installation_directory>\Platform\Core\<version>\bin\javaclasses\core

Authentication for WebSphere MQ V8

WebSphere MQ V8 requires authentication details by default (user name and password). The WebSphere MQ connectors must therefore provide authentication details when connecting to WebSphere MQ using a server connection channel.

To be able to provide authentication details you must add an Authentication profile to the WebSphere MQ connector, and enter the appropriate user name and password in this profile.

Making authentication optional

The Queue Manager connection authority (CONAUTH) configuration refers to an authentication information (AUTHINFO) and has the default value SYSTEM.DEFAULT.AUTHINFO.IDPWOS. To make authentication optional, and not required, you can run the following command:

ALTER AUTHINFO(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.AUTHINFO.IDPWOS) AUTHTYPE(IDPWOS) CHCKCLNT(OPTIONAL)

After you run the command above you must refresh the queue manager.
