Re: IBM MQ security

[kstephe6 () csc com]

If you need to know about IBM products a good place to check is
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/
Redbooks are generally written by internal IBM staff with specific
knowledge of a Redbook topic.

In MQ security is usually based on the OS security structures the MQ
systems are running on.

MQ security must be baked into the application design and OS implementation
from front to back to be reasonably effective.

Look at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG245849.html (MQSeries
Version 5.1 Administration and Programming Examples) for some general
insight on the product and applications.

I really like the last line on page 203  (11.2   MQSeries Client
Identification).

Hope you find this helpful.
