SSL Digital Certificate - Middleware News SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, a global standard security technology developed by Netscape in 1994. SSL is all about encryption. It creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser. The link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and secure and is recognized by millions of consumers by a secure padlock which appears in their browser. How it works when access a secure web page? 1. A browser requests a secure page (usually https ://). 2. The web server sends its public key with its certificate. 3. The browser checks that the certificate was issued by a trusted party (usually a trusted root CA), that the certificate is still valid and that the certificate is related to the site contacted. 4. The browser then uses the public key, to encrypt a random symmetric encryption key and sends it to the server with the encrypted URL required as well as other encrypted http data

Websphere Message Broker v7 – What’s new ? - Middleware News Websphere message broker v7 new features. * Simplicity and productivity * Universal connectivity for SOA * Dynamic operational management * Platforms, environments, and performance Simplicity and productivity Websphere Message Broker v7 (will be referred as WMB7 in this blog) has very few components compared to v6x. fewer interacting components means fewer opportunities for failure. WMB7 has only one component, that is Broker. Broker database, Config Mgr, User Name Server are no longer required Tools now connect directly to the broker, and do not use a configuration manager. This change reduces the number of steps required for administrative tasks. and gives the tools direct access to more configuration information. mqsilist command can now work with remote brokers. You can enable administrative security directly on the broker, which lets you decide who can read, write, and execute on specific brok

Websphere Message Broker (WMB) / Difference Between WebSphere MQ and Message Broker - Middleware News Difference Between WebSphere MQ and Message Broker: WebSphere MQ is a solution for application-to-application communication services regardless of where your applications or data reside. Whether on a single server, separate servers of the same type, or separate servers of different architecture types, WebSphere MQ facilitates communications between applications by sending and receiving message data via messaging queues. Applications then use the information in these messages to interact with Web browsers, business logic, and databases. WebSphere MQ provides a secure and reliable transport layer for moving data unchanged in the form of messages between applications but it is not aware of the content of the messages. WebSphere MQ uses a set of small and standard application programming interfaces (APIs) that support a number of programming languages, including Visual Basic, NA

IBM Websphere MQ - Channel attributes in alphabetical order - Middlewar News WebSphere MQ for some platforms may not implement all the attributes shown in the list. Exceptions and platform differences are mentioned in the individual attribute descriptions, where relevant. The keyword that you can specify in MQSC is shown in brackets for each attribute. (Attributes that apply only to WebSphere MQ for z/OS with CICS do not have MQSC keywords.) The attributes are arranged in alphabetical order, as follows: * Auto start (AUTOSTART) * Alter date (ALTDATE) * Alter time (ALTTIME) * Batch Heartbeat Interval (BATCHHB) * Batch interval (BATCHINT) * Batch size (BATCHSZ) * Channel name (CHANNEL) * Channel type (CHLTYPE) * CICS profile name * Cluster (CLUSTER) * Cluster namelist (CLUSNL) * Connection name (CONNAME) * Convert message (CONVERT) * Description (DESCR) * Disconnect interval (DISCINT) * Heartbeat interval (HBINT) * Local Address (LOCLADDR) * Long retry count (
