Hi all...
Just a quick question... I've been working with MQ for years now, inside IBM... I'm a certified Systems Administrator, but have moved on from IBM, and find myself working with MQ Client code. This is new to me, as IBM didn't support the Client code. I've recently been given the assignment to set up SSL between a server and a client system, and found some GREAT instructions in a red book. The instructions state that you need both a CLTCONN and a SVRCONN, which is fine, but in trying to explain this to a co-worker, I was unable to tell him what the difference was between the two. If anyone has a simple way of explaining this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
(I guess my question wasn't so quick after all)
Thanks!

Well you can explain it that way.
Each communication through a channel requires 2 endpoints.
The svrconn is the endpoint on the server.
The clntconn is the endpoint on the client.
There exist a number of ways to default the client endpoint (channel table, server variable). However with SSL you want more than the default endpoint and you will have to use a configured clnt chl instead of a default one...
Another way to achieve this is to use MQIPT....

By endpoints do you mean to say objects??
SVRCONN alone can be used for messaging between client & server.
We need both SVRCONN & CLNTCONN for securing the channel via SSL.
SSL security is a handshake & that is why we need both CLINTCONN & SVRCONN objects. Correct me if I am wrong! |

NO, he does not mean "objects".
Every MQ channel has two ends. Every MQ channel has a different definition for both ends.
Every time you use a SVRCONN, you also use a CLNTCONN.
There are many ways to define that CLNTCONN, not all of which use an "object".
There is more than one way to use SSL. Some of those ways involve defining a CLNTCONN "object". Some of them don't.
