Hi Guys,
I am a newbie here, don't have a lot of experience writing code to operate on WebSphere MQ. Does anyone know how to put Userid into the amqsget.c source code to access a certain queue? authorization has been added to queue so that only users belong to a certain group other than mqm can get the messages.
Thanks a lot. |

If you're using amqsget then the user id is that used to run the application is passed for security checking. Hence you should either run the application as an authorised user, or have the user that runs the application authorised.
You can set a user id on opening the queue by using the alternate fields, but that requires the user to be authorised to use those fields! In most circumstances it's better practice to change the authorisations to allow the application to use the queue rather than change the authorisations to allow the application to pick ids in any way it feels (it makes most security auditors nervous).
If you're in fact using amqsgetc then have the additional option of using the MCAUser to pass an alternate user id. This is a common way of forcing applications potentially using many different users to use one single restricted user.
Note also that many Unix platforms authorise groups not users.

Looks like I mixed amqsget and amqsgetc. Where do I find C source code of amqsgetc?
Appreciate your help. |

You've already got it. It's the same source code; amqsget is the code linked for a binding connection, amqsgetc is the code linked with the client libraries.
