The PowerCenter Integration Service uses the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) standard to ensure authentication for JMS messages. PKI includes the following components:
Authentication certificate.
A certificate authority provides digital certificates to verify and authenticate parties in internet communications.
Trust store.
The PowerCenter Integration Service uses the trust store to authenticate requests from JMS providers. You can store multiple authentication certificates in the trust store.
Client store.
The PowerCenter Integration Service sends the client store that contains authentication certificates to JMS providers for authentication. You can store multiple authentication certificates in the client store.
If a JMS provider requires authentication, the PowerCenter Integration Service and the JMS provider authenticate each other with authentication certificates before either transmits data. When a JMS provider sends an authentication certificate to the PowerCenter Integration Service, the PowerCenter Integration Service verifies that the certificate exists in the trust store before it authenticates the JMS provider. When the PowerCenter Integration Service authenticates to a JMS provider, it sends an authentication certificate from its client store.
