Property HashAlgorithm As Long
Property Value
For MSMQ 1.0 and MSMQ 2.0, this property can be set to MQMSG_CALG_MD2, MQMSG_CALG_MD4, or MQMSG_CALG_MD5 (the default value is MQMSG_CALG_MD5), and for MSMQ 3.0, it can be set to MQMSG_CALG_MD2, MQMSG_CALG_MD4, MQMSG_CALG_MD5, or MQMSG_CALG_SHA1. However, for messages sent to HTTP/HTTPS or multicast addresses, it can be set only to MQMSG_CALG_MD5 or MQMSG_CALG_SHA1 (the default value is MQMSG_CALG_SHA1).
Remarks
The Message Queuing runtime uses the hashing algorithm when creating a digital signature and when authenticating the message. For information on how Message Queuing authenticates messages, see Message Authentication.
Equivalent API Function Property
With API function calls, the equivalent property is PROPID_M_HASH_ALG.
