Hi folks,
I have written a client MQSecurityExit in Java that creates an MQCSP structure (MQConnectionSecurityParameters) that puts in a username and password.
Everything works fine, except when the password exceeds 12 characters. It seems as though the java libraries are automatically truncating the password to 12 chars.
Is there a reason for this?
For example:
createConnection("user", "pass") will result in "user" and "pass" in the MQSecurityExit.
however,
createConnection("user", "passwordpassword") will result in "user" and "passwordpass" in the MQSecurityExit
Thanks,
Duke |

I opened a PMR with IBM.
They have confirmed this behavior and agree that is it not intended for the MQCSP structure.
They are looking into what they can do about it.
Just some more info. The truncating is being done in com.ibm.mq.MQv6InternalCommunications in the processProperties() method.
I've asked IBM to check to make sure other languages are not doing the same truncating. |

| Just for the rest of us, what version of MQ do you see this behavior on? |

I thought this was a clear indication for MQ V6 ?

Yes... 6.0.0.0? 6.0.2.6? |

all the 6* and 7* versions are affected.
the .net libraries are not affected...they work fine and have no limit on the lengths.
Thanks,

I got the fix from IBM and tested it and it works. There is no restriction on length.
They said they are going to release this fix in their next release. |
