I am using Websphere MQ as the JMS provider for and MDB running in Websphere Application Server.
I am using CLIENT as the transport type.
When I set up the 'WebSphere MQ Queue Connection Factory' I am able to specify 'Authentication Aliases'. I believe that this controls what userid the WAS client will 'flow' to the MCA channel when performing operations on the queue.
However when I set up the 'WebSphere MQ Queue Destination', there is a username and password that can be set under the 'WebSphere MQ Queue Connection Properties'.
Does anyone know what username this relates to from an MQ perspective?
cheers

The user name/password on the Queue Destination is there so that the WAS Admin Console can verify/create the queue for you.
It's nothing to do with what happens when your code uses the Destination.

OK, so that sounds like an administration function.
Does this mean that this username and password should be those of a user who belongs to the mqm group on the MQ server?
Does this mean that remote administration must be enabled on the queue manager for WAS->MQ integration to work?
Does the fact that everything seems to work without there being anything specified for the username and password here mean that there is currently no security around who can administer my queues? |

The queue is only verified/created IF you enter the credentials.

well, yes, given that the info centre does not appear to contain the answer that you supplied, or the answer to my other questions  |
