Hello Everyone

1. What kind of access do developes need to PUT/GET/BROWSE message to the Queue Manager using JMS client interface.
1.1 I have a local queue ( e.g QL1), I want some developers only
to browse the message but not GET the message.

1.2 i need to let some develops only GET but not PUT on the
particular queue. How could i accomplish this.

2. Let's say Queue Manager (QM1) has the following local queue (QL1, QL2, QL3, QL4 etc.....). Can you restrict the queue by per developer. E.g only Developer A is authorized to use QL2 . Is it possible to do this in MQ.


Thanks very much for your help.
.....Paul

Security,

the never ending story, well i'm not too stron in the distributed security, but it's easy to distinguish between get/put and browse:

Seen from OS/390 perspective:
you have to create one alias queues for PUT and one for GET and here INHIBIT the unwanted, and then give the developers ACCESS(UPDATE) to the GET and/or PUT queue. Browse is quite simple, just ACCESS(READ) to the QLOCAL.

Anyway I guess it's the same approach on the distributed platform.

There are a new manual only covering Security It come together with version 5.3. Isems to me it's not released yet on the web on:
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/index.htm

This is "allmost" taken from the manual...:
Allow userid1 to put but not get:
Code:
setmqaut -m [qmgr] -t Q -n [queuename] -p [userid1] +put -get -browse


Allow userid2 to browse only:
Code:
setmqaut -m [qmgr] -t Q -n [queuename] -p [userid1] -put -get +browse


Allow userid3 to get only:
Code:
setmqaut -m [qmgr] -t Q -n [queuename] -p [userid1] -put +get -browse


Just my $0.02

One small add, probably a good idea to use groups rather than naming users explicitally...

e.g.

setmqaut -m [qmgr] -t Q -n [queuename] -g [group1] -put -get +browse

Paul,

If you are open to looking at 3rd party solutions to solve your issue I would encourage you to look at our solution QN-AppWatch for WebSphere MQ. QN-AppWatch was specifically designed to provide developers with secure access to only their queue and channel information without jeopardizing the integrity of the queue managers. QN-AppWatch provides 5 detailed levels of security all the way down to the message level. Our solution is web-based so no software is required on the servers running MQ or on the developer’s desktops.

You can check us out at www.reconda.com
