Providing your own link level security

 

This chapter describes how we can provide your own link level security services. Writing your own channel exit programs is the main way of doing this.

Channel exit programs are introduced in Other link level security services. The same chapter also describes the channel exit program that is supplied with WebSphere MQ for Windows (the SSPI channel exit program). This channel exit program is supplied in source format so that you can modify the source code to suit your requirements. If neither this channel exit program, nor channel exit programs available from other vendors, meets your requirements, we can design and write your own. This chapter suggests ways in which channel exit programs can provide security services. For information about how to write a channel exit program, see WebSphere MQ Intercommunications.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Security exit

• Message exit

• Send and receive exits

• Security exit
  

• Message exit
