title: Remote MQ Server Authentication
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how we would configure / setup the authentication, Queues, and Queue managers for connecting an MQ Client that is on a server / domain completely separate from the MQ Server it will be forwarding messages to.  </p>
  
  <p>I would assume that in a normally organizational environment you could just use Active Directory (if hosted on windows servers) for the authentication / AD lookup.  However, in this scenario because they are different orgs you couldn't do that?</p>
  
  <p>Can you simply apply SSL certs to both client / server and use that as your authentication? If so is that just applied to the Channel used in the connections?</p>
  
  <p>Not sure how to proceed forward with this. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
