My client's company standard for servers is Windows 2003 and the standard for writing code is either c/c++ or VB.Net (depending on the complexity of the task).

So there's a general trend towards VB.net because most stuff just isn't that complex.

We have many applications using MQ, but now we have a new thing we need to do and we don't know how.

Nearly all of the client applications we have run under an account that we've given the rights to write onto MQ queue of applications that use MQ.

We now want to write an application that can cross windows domains where the Windows trusts are very limited. We can't run the client application under an account that we can trust from the server.

So, we would like to be able to pass credentials on username/password from the client to the server that the server does trust. This is very common for most applications (PeopleSoft, Oracle, etc.) which allow or require the logon to provide these. Very few applications require that the client run under an authorized account.

It looks like there's an API (MQAuthenticationInformationRecord) that may allow this, but we cannot find any useful documentation or examples that even show the parameters to use with this.

Does anyone know how this API is used (it's part of the .Net API) and can shows a few lines of code how in either VB.Net (preferred) or C#?
