Re: RE: IBM MQ Message Signing

[Troy Hyde <troy.hyde@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read this and my heart leapt.

A) Birgitta answered one of my messages. <blush>
B) Maybe an answer to my problem. I'm having success putting and getting 
messages, just not signing them; however SQL would certainly be a 
preferred method.

My big issue issue is that in the long term, I can only install the 
client. I cannot find a way to install any of these additional 
features--advanced message security (AMS) and DB2 MQ functions seem to 
only be available if the server is installed.

Anyone know the right client products and options for these?

We will be connected to the remote queues via a secured network but are also required to asymmetrically sign outgoing messages and verify signed incoming messages.

I can send messages but have been unable to determine how to sign them. I've read information that implies it's simply a configuration issue. I've read about exit programs. I've read that it's a matter of changing my security data structure.

Can anyone provide any direction or a link to a decent set of RPG MQ samples? IBM's MQ documentation is extensive and sometimes very helpful but it tries to cover all bases (Java/RPG/C/AIX/zOS) in one set of instructions and is often confusing.
