Protecting messages transmitted between buses

Use this task to protect the integrity of the data that is transmitted between secured linked service integration buses.

Before you begin

• Review the information in the topics Secure transport configuration requirements and Configuring transport chains.
• Configure a transport policy for the bus.

About this task

In this task, you configure transport chains for the remote bus to ensure that only secured inbound transport chains can contact the messaging engines on the server. The remote bus might be a foreign bus, or an WebSphere® MQ link.

1. Ensure that the linked buses are secured. For further information, see Securing buses.
2. Configure the Target inbound transport chain property for the foreign bus, or WebSphere MQ link, as appropriate:
   • For connections to a foreign bus, see Connecting service integration buses to use point-to-point messaging or Connecting service integration buses to use publish/subscribe messaging
   • For connections to IBM MQ, refer to Creating a new IBM MQ link.

Results

You have configured the Target inbound transport chains for the remote service integration bus.
