WebSphere MQ internet pass-thru

 

WebSphere MQ internet pass-thru is a WebSphere MQ base product extension that is supplied in SupportPac™ MS81.

WebSphere MQ internet pass-thru enables two queue managers to exchange messages, or a WebSphere MQ client application to connect to a queue manager, over the Internet without requiring a direct TCP/IP connection. This is useful if a firewall prohibits a direct TCP/IP connection between two systems. It makes the passage of WebSphere MQ channel protocol flows into and out of a firewall simpler and more manageable by tunnelling the flows inside HTTP or by acting as a proxy. Using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), it can also be used to encrypt and decrypt messages that are sent over the Internet.
