Allow Only Authenticated Messages on Queues

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can use this procedure to allow only authenticated messages to be sent to a Message Queuing queue. To increase security and prevent unauthenticated messages from being sent to the queue, configure the queue to accept only authenticated messages.

Membership in <Domain>\Domain Users, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To allow only authenticated messages to be sent to a Message Queuing queue

  1. Click Start, point to Run, type compmgmt.msc, and press ENTER to display the Computer Management MMC console.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the applicable queue.

    Where?

    • Computer Management/Services and Applications/Message Queuing/YourQueueFolder (such as Public Queues or Private Queues)/YourQueue
  3. Click Properties.

  4. On the General page, select the Authenticated check box. Or, to accept any messages on the queue, clear the Authenticated check box.

Additional considerations

  • If you select the Authenticated check box, the queue accepts only authenticated messages.

  • You can also perform this task using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For more information, see Additional references.
