Traffic Parrot 5.15.0 released, whats new?

We have just released version 5.15.0. Here is a list of the changes that came with the release:

Features

• Traffic Parrot can now connect to IBM MQ queue managers via SSL channels. You can do this via Native IBM MQ. We have added two new ibm-mq-connections.json properties to support Native IBM MQ SSL connections:

  "sslCipherSuite": "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA",
  "sslPeerName": "OU=TP IBM MQ"

  To provide the server and client certificates you can add the following config to jvm.args:

  -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=certificates/ca-chain.jks
  -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=trafficparrot
  -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=certificates/mq-client.jks
  -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=trafficparrot
  -Dcom.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings=false
