Hi All,
I am using WMQ 6.0.2.1 on Solaris 10 and Explorer 7.0 on Windows (XP)
I have read an article available online (Hursley's) about making Explorer (7.0 / for windows / exclipse) read-only and have been working on making this the case. I have had mostly great success in doing so. I have, however, discovered what seems to be a flaw (for me, anyway).
Even though I have limited myself (and my group!) from seeing objects that shouldn't be seen (I am in the process of testing for read-only use by an application support team) I can still do a Refresh SSL through the security menu on the queue manager (WMQ 6). This might be a deal-killer for me because resetting SSL would affect many other users and applications on this queue manager. 
I have checked (just to see) and I cannot refresh authorizations... only SSL)
I have attempted to find this solution by using both Google and search here at mqseries.net (and on ibm / developerworks...) Any thoughts / ideas / comments regarding this dilemma are welcome! (Please!)

What permissions did give on the qmgr object?

all of these settings are as per the aforementioned article on read-only access....
qmgr = +connect, +inq, and +dis
SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE +browse +get +inq
SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE +browse +get +inq +put
SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL +browse +dsp +get +inq |

Are you doing this testing with a userid in the MQ admin group?

No. I am only in the usergroup "fisg" which has only the permissions listed above.
I have no access to look at, delete, or create any queue, channel, or process / namelist. I also just checked and I cannot refresh security, only SSL refresh. I cannot modify any authorizations through explorer, either.
This is a standard MQ install as well. |

| Also, my connectivity is through a TAB file for this QMGR and SSL is enabled and working fine, so it's not like I can even have a mqm MCAUSER from explorer (and the channel has blank MCAUSER() |

Can you successfully issue the equivalent MQSC command locally (not with the Explorer) on the qmgr? Do you get a security violation on the local qmgr?
Is the userid you are using also in the admin group? Was it ever in the admin group?

I can't locally get in to runmqsc on our system without mqm access (which can only be gained temporarily via sudo). From my windows box the MCA being populated is a system wide LDAP / active-directory userid (Same id on all of our Linux / UNIX boxes)
My userid is new and has never belonged to an admin group (except incases where I have sudoed in the past) which is a temporary add to a sudoers group for a 6 hour time window, after which point my id is removed from the group and the cache (LDAP) is reset.
$ runmqsc QM.EXPLORER
/usr/bin/runmqsc: Permission denied |

I guess it's time to reconsider my options.
I see that MA96 (MQ Browser) covers what i mostly need, perhaps I will check this out... |

You can imagine how far my jaw dropped with this. REFRESH SECURITY SSL is quite intrusive to running SSL channels.

Please check the user your PCF is being put by, and check the output from dspmqaut for that user. |

Are you suggesting that REFRESH SECURITY might have authority checking performed by the Command Server? |

It doesn't seem likely to me that there is no checking. |

Try 7.0.1.* and you should find there is appropriate checking on the user requesting the command.
5.3, 6.0 (and 7.0.0.*) did not do any checking (I presume, and its a guess, because readonly explorer wasnt considered since the product didnt easily provide it and hence users already had to have write access to the command queue) - the solution to this was therefore designed and implemented for 7.0.1. |
