Setup Operations

Typically, you have to perform the following setup operations:

• Secure administrative access

  Whether you use a file-based or LDAP user repository, make sure that the administrator is in the admin group and has a secure password. If necessary, create a secure connection to the broker for the administrator.

• Secure client access

  Whether you use a file-based or LDAP user repository, populate the user repository with the names of users who can access the message service and edit the access control properties file to give them appropriate authorization. If necessary set up SSL-based connection services. To prevent unauthenticated connections, be sure to change the “guest” user’s password.

• Create and configure physical destinations

  Set destination attributes so that the number of messages and the amount of memory allocated for messages can be supported by broker resources.

• Create and configure administered objects.

  If you want to use an LDAP object store, configure and set up the store. Create and configure connection factory and destination administered objects.

• If stateful horizontal scaling is required, create a broker cluster.

  Create a central configuration file and designate a master broker.
