You can define new outbound chains using the wsadmin utility. These chains can be used for bootstrapping connections to messaging engines.
Bootstrap protocol | TCP channel | SSL channel | HTTP channel | HTTP tunneling channel | JFAP channel |
TCP | X | X | |||
SSL | X | X | X | ||
HTTP | X | X | X | X | |
HTTPS | X | X | X | X | X |
For example, a chain for bootstrapping using the SSL protocol would consist of a TCP channel, SSL channel, and JFAP channel. When creating chains, the order of channels in the chain is important. You must specify channels in the order (left to right) in which they appear in the above table.
The example in this topic describes how to create a bootstrap chain capable of bootstrapping using the HTTPS protocol. This requires a chain containing all the channel types described, therefore it is easy to see how chains for other protocols can be created by omitting channels during the chain creation step.
