SSLPeerNamePtr (MQPTR)

This field specifies the address of the SSL peer name.

When a certificate is received during a successful SSL handshake, the Distinguished Name of the subject of the certificate is copied into the MQCD field accessed by SSLPeerNamePtr at the end of the channel which receives the certificate. It overwrites the SSLPeerName value for the channel if this value is present in the channel definition of the local user. If a security exit is specified at this end of the channel it receives the Distinguished Name from the peer certificate in the MQCD.

This is an input field to the exit. The field is not present if Version is less than MQCD_VERSION_7.

Note: Security exit applications constructed prior to the release of IBM® MQ v7.1 may require updating. For more information see Channel security exit programs.
