Checklist: Secure Your JMS Configuration

The following checklist provides the steps necessary to secure Kaazing Gateway integration with JMS-compliant message brokers.

#	Step	Topic or Reference
1	Use service properties to pass in the user name and password for connections made to the back-end message broker.	Secure the Connection from the Gateway to the Message Broker
2	Configure JMS-specific authentication and authorization for JMS clients.	Secure the Connection from Each Client to the Gateway
3	Stamp messages flowing from each client connected to the Gateway with an ID for auditing purposes.	Configure Auditing Messages Produced by Clients
4	Configure the Gateway to connect to the JMS-compliant message broker using encrypted credentials.	Configure the Gateway to Use Encrypted Credentials

Overview

Kaazing Gateway allows client applications to communicate directly with any JMS-compliant message broker. You can secure the connection between the Gateway and the JMS-compliant message broker.

It is common for JMS implementations to be configured with existing entitlement systems that govern which users can access certain topics or queues. The Gateway provides a set of configuration properties and a pluggable Java authorization API that allows you to integrate with your specific entitlement system.

Notes

Before you secure your JMS configuration, review Configure Authentication and Authorization.
