This chapter describes how to configure webMethods Broker clients for JMS and C# messaging clients for SSL authentication. It also explains how SSL encryption is used with messaging clients, and how SSL protection is used by access control lists (ACLs).

For a JMS or C# client to communicate with a Broker through SSL, the messaging client, the Broker Server, and the Broker admin component (hosted by the My webMethods Server) must have their own certificates. These certificates contain each component's SSL credentials, or identity.

This chapter deals with configuring SSL for Broker messaging clients. For more information, refer to Administering webMethods Broker. That manual explains the Broker security model, contains information on configuring SSL for the Broker Server and the Broker admin component, and describes the usage of ACLs in detail.
