Sid,

But if only certain ports on the DMZ machine are open and the listener
running against the MQ port goes through an SSL validation process for
anyone connecting to it then aren't we protected?

Tim,

SSL wont protect the data sitting on the server.... Is that where the risk
really is ?.. In my case it is.. Yours may be different.

But SSL from server-server is also a good choice.

Or you can use the SSL features that became available in V5.3.

It has what you need. It is the MQSeries Internet Pass Thru (MQIPT).

Subject: MQSeries in DMZ


Hello,
We have external partners who need to connect to our MQSeries.  So, we
could
put an MQSeries server in our DMZ and let those external people connect to
that MQ and then have the DMZ MQ connect to our internal MQ.  We can
configure our firewall (Cisco Pix) to only let MQ appropriate
ports/protocols pass from the internet to the DMZ MQ server.

However, we would still be allowing **anybody** on the internet to send
messages to our MQSeries in our DMZ.  We are working with a small list of
partners - they are not anonymous.

So - from this two questions:

1)  Would this be considered a fairly secure configuration - from the
standpoint of a hacker trying to get into our MQ box and crash it or access
OS services?

2)  What is a standard method whereby we could allow our external partners
to send MQ messages - but not allow other people on the internet to send MQ
messages to our DMZ MQ server?

Thanks.
Tim.
