Looking at the latest Infocenter for DataPower, version 6 of the Firmware, there doesn't appear to be anyway to specify a client side security exit. Is SSL the only way to establish an authenticated connection from DP to MQ?
I also don't see any way of using an MQ Client Channel Table, or an mqclient.ini file.
Do the DataPower creators consciously choose not to allow for exits, channel tables and client ini files, or is this a gap that might be remediated with a Request For Enhancement? Before I take the time to write one up I wanted to check here if it even made sense. In a conversation I had with my computer screen I made the argument that maybe this is by design because exits, tables and ini files all require something to be placed ('installed' in the case of the exit) on the appliance which is a no-no. But stylesheets and SSL Certs are allowed to be placed on the appliance, so why not other stuff?
