Can someone please confirm my understanding of connecting to WMQ queues in a WMQ server environment using a server connection.
Would I be right in assuming that no security exit is required when connecting to a web sphere mq server as a managed .NET client?
By this I mean can I just setup the client connection like this
MQEnvironment.properties.Add(MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY,
MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_MANAGED);
MQEnvironment.Hostname = hostname;
MQEnvironment.Port = port;
MQEnvironment.Channel = serverConnectionChannelName;
// Create the new QueueManager
queueManager = new MQQueueManager(managerName);
Without having to add:
MQEnvironment.SecurityExit = securityExitPath;
MQEnvironment.SecurityUserData = securityUserData;
By SecurityExitPath, I mean the path to the location of the security exit assembly (dll) which is an exact copy of the security exit configured on the server connection channel.
The connection is via a .NET client using the amqmdnet.
Any help will be much appreciated. |

The assumption is incorrect.
The need for a security exit is defined by the server not the client.
You may be able to connect without a security exit client side but this depends on your security exit server side (block IP2 does not require a security exit client side)
Have fun...

Thanks for your response.
I don't have an MQ environment. By client side, do you mean the MQ client? All I am doing is connecting to a queue manager on an MQ server through a server connection channel on which the security exit is configured. I guess, like you said, it depends on what the security exit server side does.
Another question, if I was connecting to an MQ client from my .NET client application which then connects to the MQ server. If they both have security exits installed. Will my assumption be correct?
Unfortunately, I don't have details of what the security exit does. The only information I have is the connection details [channel, host, port, qm, queue, security exit dll location and userdata information]
I guess, if I always provide the path to the security exit [wherever it resides] i.e.
MQEnvironment.SecurityExit = securityExitPath;
MQEnvironment.SecurityUserData = securityUserData;
then I am safe, right?
Have you got any good references which detail security exits and .NET clients apart from the 'Using .NET' redbook. I am currently using that.
Thanks for you help. |

You HAVE to talk to the people doing the admin for the server side. They are the only ones who can tell you whether or not you need a security exit, what it needs to be / do
The .NET API just provided you with a place where to plug in your client side security exit should you need one...
Enjoy

No, that doesn't look right. Please read pages 22-24 of WMQ Using .NET manual.
What does the manual for the security exit say?
What is the name of your security exit?
