### Custom MQ Resource Configuration page

Use this page to configure a custom MQ connection resource. For information on MQ connection resources and MQ transports, see the following:

- MQ Connections in Using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console
- Native MQ Transport User Guide

Option | Description
--- | ---
Connection Type | Select one of the following modes for connecting to the MQ queue manager: `tcp mode`-Use TCP/IP to connect to a queue manager that does not reside on the same machine as ALSB. `binding mode`-Use the bindings mode to connect to a queue manager that is located on the same machine as ALSB.
MQ Host Name | For `tcp` `mode` connections only: Enter the host name of the MQ queue manager.
MQ Port Number | For `tcp` `mode` connections only: Enter the port number of the MQ queue manager listener.
MQ Queue Manager Name | Enter the name of the MQ queue manager to which to connect.
Queue Manager CCSID | For `tcp` `mode` connections only: The coded character set identifier (CCSID) to be used when establishing a connection. The CCSID is used mainly for internationalization support. To learn more, see IBM's WebSphere MQ Fundamentals.
MQ Queue Manager Channel Name | For `tcp` `mode` connections only: Enter the queue manager server connection channel name.
SSL Required | For `tcp` `mode` connections: Select the check box to use SSL for sending messages. Only server-side SSL will be enabled when the 2-way SSL Required option is not selected.
Cipher Suite | This option is available only when the SSL Required check box is selected. Select the Cipher Suite algorithm to be used by SSL. The Cipher Suite algorithm is used to encrypt and decrypt message communications between the WebSphere MQ server and the WebSphere MQ client. Thus a Cipher Suite algorithm must be specified when using SSL to communicate with a WebSphere MQ server.
2-way SSL Required | This option is available only when the SSL Required check box is selected. Select the check box to enable both client-side and server-side SSL authentication.
Reference to the Service Key Provider | If you selected 2-way SSL Required, you must provide a reference to the service key provider for obtaining the appropriate key store and trust store information. Enter the path (`project/folder`) and name of a service key provider, or click Browse to select one from the Select Service Key Provider page.
Reference to the Static Service Account | For `tcp` `mode` connections only: Required for user name and password authentication. Enter the path (`project/folder`) and name of a static service account, or click Browse to select service accounts from a browser.
WebSphere MQ Version | Select the WebSphere MQ version: 5.3 6.0
Connection Pool Size | Enter the size of the MQ connection pool.
Connection Timeout | Enter the time interval in seconds after which unused connections are destroyed.
