WSO2 Message Broker provides support to send/receive messages via secured connections using the SSL/TLS protocol. The following instructions describe how to configure the MB server and JMS clients to communicate via encrypted connections using SSL.

Enabling SSL in the broker

To enable SSL inthe server side, change the following entries in the <MB_HOME>/repository/conf/broker.xml file under the relevant transport (AMQP or MQTT). See Configuring Transports for WSO2 MB for more information on the available transports.

Code Block

language	html/xml

<sslConnection enabled="true" port="">
    	<keyStore>
        	<location>repository/resources/security/wso2carbon.jks</location>
            <password>wso2carbon</password>
            <certType>SunX509</certType>
    	</keyStore>
        <trustStore>
            <location>repository/resources/security/client-truststore.jks</location>
            <password>wso2carbon</password>
            <certType>SunX509</certType>
        </trustStore>
</sslConnection>

The parameters in the above configuration are as follows.

Parameter Description

SSL Connection

This contains the basic configurations relating to the SSL connection. Setting the enabled="true" attribute ensures that SSL is enabled by default when the MB server is started. The port="" attribute sets the default SSL listener port for messages/command sent via the relevant transport.

The default port for the AMQP transport is 8672.
The default port for the MQTT transport is 8883.

Location

The location where the keystore/truststore used for securing SSL connections is stored. By defaultthis is the default keystore(wso2carbon.jks) andtruststore (client-truststore.jks) that is shipped with WSO2 MB.

Note
Note that these (keystore and truststore) should always created for the super tenant. Find out more about setting up keystores for your MB server.

Password The password of the keystore/truststore.

Certification Type

The type of SSL certificate used for the keystore/truststore. SunX509 is the standard name of the algorithm used by the key managers. This value should be changed accordingly if the system is running on a different JVM. For example, IbmX509 for the IBM JVM.

Configuring JMS Clients to use SSL

SSL parameters are configured and sent to the broker as broker options in the TCPConnectionURL defined by the client. You need to set the 'ssl=true' property in theurl and specify thekeystore and client trust store paths and passwords. Use the connectionurl format shown below to pass the SSL parameters:

Code Block

String connectionURL = "amqp://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@carbon/carbon?brokerlist='tcp://<IP>:<SSL_POR T>?ssl='true'&ssl_cert_alias='<CERTIFICATE_ALIAS_IN_TRUSTSTORE>'&trust_store=' <PATH_TO_TRUST_STORE>'&trust_store_password='<TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD>'& key_store='<PATH_TO_KEY_STORE>'&key_store_password='<KEYSTORE_PASSWOR D>''";

Setting the 'ssl_cert_alias' property is not mandatory and can be used as an optional way to specify which certificate the broker should use if the trust store contains multiple entries.

Example: Consider that you have WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (WSO2 ESB) as the JMS client. Shown below is an example connectionurl using the defaultkeystores and trust stores in WSO2 ESB:
