MQ Enterprise Security Suite
The MQ Enterprise Security Suite (MQESS) is a new solution that provides authentication and data protection (Channels and Queues) for WebSphere MQ. MQESS operates with WebSphere MQ v6.0 or v7.0 in AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, IBM i (OS/400) and Windows environments.
- Authentication is handled by MQ Authenticate Security Exit (MQAUSX) MQAUSX is a solution that allows a company to fully authenticate a user who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. It authenticates the user's UserID and Password against the server's native OS system, LDAP server, Microsoft's Active Directory, Quest Authentication Services (QAS), Centrify's DirectControl or an encrypted MQAUSX FBA file.
- Data Protection for Channels is handled by MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) MQCE provides encryption for MQ message data. MQCE is a solution that allows a company to encrypt message data, which flows between WebSphere MQ (WMQ) resources.
- Data Protection for Queues is handled by MQ Message Encryption (MQME) MQME provides encryption for MQ message data while it resides in a queue and in the MQ logs (i.e. all data at rest).

ISPF MQ Message Editor for z/OS
The ISPF MQ Message Editor for z/OS application allows users to view, manipulate and manage messages in a queue of a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager and presents the data in a simplified format similar to a database utility or spreadsheet program.
ISPF MQ Message Editor for z/OS is a great tool for application programmers, JMS developers, quality assurance testers, and production support personnel. The tool allows for quick problem solving because the data is presented in a very logical and insightful manner.
MQ Auditor
The MQ Auditor (MQA) is a solution that allows a company to audit / track all MQ API calls performed by MQ applications that are connected to a queue manager. The API Exit operates with WebSphere MQ v5.3, v6.0 or v7.0 in Windows, Unix, IBM i and Linux environments.
MQ Authenticate User Security Exit
The MQ Authenticate User Security Exit (MQAUSX) is a solution that allows a company to fully authenticate a user who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. It authenticates the user's UserID and Password against the server's native OS system, LDAP server, Microsoft's Active Directory, Quest Authentication Services (QAS), Centrify's DirectControl or an encrypted MQAUSX FBA file.
The MQ Authenticate User Security Exit for z/OS (z/MQAUSX) is a solution that allows a company to fully authenticate a user who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. It authenticates the user's UserID and Password against the server's native z/OS system.
MQ Channel Encryption
The MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) provides encryption for MQ message data. MQCE is a solution that allows a company to encrypt message data, which flows between WebSphere MQ (WMQ) resources.
The MQ Channel Encryption for z/OS (z/MQCE) provides encryption for MQ message data. z/MQCE is a solution that allows a company to encrypt message data, which flows between WebSphere MQ (WMQ) resources.
MQ Message Encryption
The MQ Message Encryption (MQME) is a solution that provides encryption for MQ message data while it resides in a queue (i.e. data at rest) and the message data in the MQ Log files. The API Exit operates with WebSphere MQ v5.3, v6.0 or v7.0 in Windows, Unix, IBM i and Linux environments.
MQ Standard Security Exit
The MQ Standard Security Exit (MQSSX) is a solution that allows a company to control and restrict who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. The security exit will operate with WebSphere MQ v5.3, v6.0 and v7.0 (and MQSeries v5.2) in Windows, IBM i (OS/400), Unix and Linux environments. It works with Server Connection, Receiver, Requestor and Cluster-Receiver channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager.
The MQ Standard Security Exit for z/OS (z/MQSSX) is a new solution that allows a company to control and restrict who is accessing a z/OS WebSphere MQ resource. The security exit will operate with WebSphere MQ v5.3.1, v6.0 and v7.0 in z/OS v1.4 or higher environments. It works with Server Connection, Receiver, Requestor and Cluster-Receiver channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager.
