Firewalls and IBM MQ Internet Pass-Thru

IBM® MQ Internet Pass-Thru can simplify communication through a firewall.

MQIPT enables two queue managers to exchange messages, or an IBM MQ client application to connect to a queue manager, without requiring a direct TCP/IP connection. This architecture is useful if a firewall prohibits a direct TCP/IP connection between two systems. Using MQIPT as a proxy can make the passage of IBM MQ channel data through a firewall simpler and more manageable. MQIPT can also protect IBM MQ data that is sent over the internet by using Transport Layer Security (TLS), and tunnel IBM MQ data inside HTTP.
