To all,
We need to build message flows which use Java Compute Nodes with external properties files. What is suggested method for encrypting and decrypting passwords in the properties files so that the sensitive uname/pwd is not exposed in clear text yet is available/able to be pulled into the JCN and used for authentication?
Thanks,
EMC |

Eric,
Use the configurable setup in broker
username= identity:username
password = identity:passsword
and setmqsidbparms -n identity -u user -p password.
This automatically encrypts the password...
Have fun

FJ - mqsisetdbparms values are obfuscated but not encrypted. It's also not clear, off the top of my head, that you can access them from a JCN as usable values. i.e. that there's a Java method that will return a username/password from an identity.
So I don't know that either of those things help.
If EricCox is trying to set the username/password for any of the predefined nodes that can use setdbparms values, then yes you're correct that he should use that instead of manually supplying the credentials.
Otherwise you need to "normal" java methods to encrypt and decrypt data that is stored in files. |
