TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for IBM MQ
7.6, 8.5
Description
When using a client channel definition table (CCDT) with TLS enabled, the MQ plug-in will extract the cipher for the channel from the configured CCDT file and will use that regardless of the one specified in the connection config. It will work fine on that cipher from CCDT given all usual conditions are met, for example, supported MQ client and sever versions with latest fix pack, com.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings property set to false on Non-IBM JRE and unlimited JCE installed.
