Assurance Continuity - WebSphere MQ version 6.0.2.2 Version 1.0Date of Maintenance Completion: 26 March 2008 Product Type: Secure Messaging Conformance Claim: EAL4 PP Identifiers: None Original Evaluated TOE: 02 October 2006 - IBM WebSphere MQ version 6.0.1.1 Please note: These are for the Original Evaluated TOE; consequently, they do not refer to this maintained version, although they apply to the maintained version. Please note: This serves as an addendum to the VR for the Original Evaluated TOE Readers are reminded that the certification of this product (TOE) is the result of maintenance, rather than an actual re-evaluation of the product. Maintenance only considers the affect of TOE changes on the assurance baseline (i.e. the original evaluated TOE); maintenance is not intended to provide assurance in regard to the resistance of the TOE to new vulnerabilities or attack methods discovered since the date of the initial certificate. Such assurance can only be gained through re-evaluation. Using a security impact analysis of the changes made to the TOE, which was provided by the developer, the CCEVS has determined that the impact of changes on the TOE are considered minor and that independent evaluator analysis was not necessary. A summary of the results can be found in the Maintenance Report, which is written in relation to the product's original validation report and Security Target. Readers are therefore reminded to read the Security Target, Validation Report, and the Assurance Maintenance Report to fully understand the meaning of what a maintained certificate represents. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONIBM WebSphere® MQ is message queuing middleware. It connects all business software together to form one enterprise by providing an open, scalable, industrial-strength messaging backbone. WebSphere MQ (WMQ) is divided into the operating system specific editions as follows:
Each of the operating system specific Editions can support the following components:
In addition, to the above components, there are tools and utilities to enable third party development of applications. These applications are often referred to as ‘MQ Applications’. However, these are not within the scope of the evaluation.
