The Secure Messaging delivery channel is a module that delivers outgoing messages to a secure endpoint (e.g. a database table, stored procedure, message queue) instead of sending the message using email or SMS.
The Secure Messaging delivery channel allows more than one secure endpoint to be configured. Each endpoint is assigned a unique name while the properties for all the secure endpoints are configured in the database.
Note: Since send handlers run on the outside nodes, they do not normally have access to the
Connect database. Thus, all configuration information (including database connection
info) is stored in the deployment configuration files that are copied to each node.
Using the Secure Message delivery channel may mean that outside nodes will need to
access databases or message queues. If this access is not permitted from the DMZ
network, it is possible to create an additional deployment on a secure network and run
the Secure Messaging delivery channel on this deployment.
Configuring the Secure Messaging plugin is a two-step process:
- Configure the delivery channel in the UI
- Enable the delivery channel for a CONNECT messaging cluster
