It would definitely be really good to have the feature already delivered on MQ for z/OS in 9.1.3 also on distributed Linux
This function has been delivered on MQ for z/OS in 9.1.3. For more details see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.1.0/com.ibm.mq.pro.doc/q132850_.htm#q132850___amsprot
Providing this option would allow a shop to rollout AMS across interconnected qmgrs spanning multiple platforms vs. a big bang approach.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM MQ
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM MQ
The general use case here is that of establishing a policy enforcement point at the network perimeter. i.e. "I have AMS on my local QMgr and my local MCA encrypts inbound messages and decrypts outbound messages."
Although this is valid another use case is "I have AMS on my local QMgr and my the remote MCA on my business partner's QMgr which does *not* have AMS encrypts messages on their way to me and decrypts messages it receives from me."
In the second use case we get authenticity, integrity, and privacy where less than a full AMS implementation is required. For hub-and-spoke, clearing-house type operations, this second model is essential. Examples include central banks, claims settlement, ACH, SWIFT, postal services, retail, etc.
Current AMS implementations support encryption at the qmgr end of a SVRCONN channel. Extending this to other channel-types is a reasonable requirement for a future update to AMS.
