Is there anyway we can restrict MQ client connections from list of specific servers / IPs ?

We have a MQ server in production server and all the applications makes MQ client connection to the MQ manager. Recently, one of the dev MQ client application accidently conneted to prod MQ manager . You can imagine the impact

All our prod servers are follwing the name like *pap, while all dev servers follow *dap. So, is there a way to block all connections from *dap in MQ server level ?

Thanks
Wilson

its MQ Admins mistake

There is something called SSL/ Security Exists
Learn about Authentication/ Authorization too

The (free) BlockIP2 exit can do exactly this. You can list allowed connections using IP names or IP numbers.

If you need an example of the config please let me know.

If you are genuinely using wildcards then make sure you distribute dev level CCDT's to Dev, and prod level CCDT's to Production - that way the only connections will be from the client to the appropriate environment.

Without using something like BlockIP2 or SSL (which you should be anyway, at least in Production), no if you are using wildcards, but see the above.

You may want to look at either MQAUSX or MQSSX as both of these MQ security solutions have this feature.
