Authentication information objects

An introduction to queue manager authentication information objects and a link to further information.

The queue manager authentication information object forms part of WebSphere® MQ support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). It provides the definitions needed to check for revoked certificates. Certification Authorities revoke certificates that can no longer be trusted.

This section describes using the setmqaut , dspmqaut, dmpmqaut , rcrmqobj, rcdmqimg , and dspmqfls commands with the authentication information object. For an overview of SSL and TLS, and the use of the authentication information objects, see WebSphere MQ support for SSL and TLS .

For more information about SSL and TLS, see Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) concepts .

An authentication information object provides the definitions required to perform certificate revocation checking.
