Greetings!

We are looking into building an application on our web server that will use WebSphere MQ to send messages to our back end systems. Our security team has questions on best practices on how to ensure that no one will be able to write to a queue from the web server without being properly authenticated first. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Usually you have the webserver authenticate the person making the http requests, and then authorize them to specific functions in the application and then authorize the application to specific objects on the queue manager.

Only the last bit has anything to do with MQ.

If you are using IBM WAS, you can also use IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (TIM) and Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) to provide Role-based Access Control (RBAC).

Here is a developerWorks article.
