Assessment Title
Rule Text
The MQ Appliance messaging server must authenticate all network-connected endpoint devices before establishing any connection.
Description
Discussion Text
Device authentication requires unique identification and authentication that may be defined by type, by specific device, or by a combination of type and device.
Device authentication is accomplished via the use of certificates and protocols such as SSL mutual authentication.
Device authentication is performed when the messaging server is providing web services capabilities and data protection requirements mandate the need to establish the identity of the connecting device before the connection is established.
The most common way devices (endpoints) may connect an MQ Appliance MQ queue manager is as an MQ client. In order to ensure unique identification of network-connected devices, mutual authentication using CA-signed TLS certificates should be configured.
