Hello all, we are planning to move to z/os V1.11 and V7.01 of MQ with V7 of WMB. I started setting up the brokers and ToolKit. It seems very easy to connect to the Brokers using the toolkit. Can someone guide me a little and maybe explain how to keep those developers using the toolkit from connecting to production brokers?

Step 1: Block the MQ listener port from access from IPs outside of the production network
Step 2: Configure SSL on every single SVRCONN configured on the production queue managers
Step 3: Configure an MCAUSER on all SVRCONNs to scope each SVRCONN to a specific role
Step 4: configure SSLPEER on all SVRCONNs to control which certificates can connect to which SVRCONN
Step 5: issue the appropriate setmqauts to assign the appropriate security authorizations to the MCAUSERS that you have now used SSL to authenticate.
Step 6: Repeat step 2 - 5 for all other incoming channels to the production qmgrs.

I guess I said "setmqaut" which doesn't apply on zOS.

The equivalent is the RACF permissions.

Also please don't double post; it's considered rude. If you feel this was posted in the wrong section ask a moderator to move it.

Also ensure the ACL for the production brokers is set up properly.

No ACLs in broker v7, unless you mean RACF ACLS for MQ.

it's all done based on MQ permissions.

A quick search of Mr. Google for 'mq+racf+broker' resulted in this:

A slightly slower search resulted in this:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ae14040_.htm

which is the correct link for the version of WMB in use by the OP.

You can enable broker security though (mqsichangebroker BROKER -s active).
This will allow you to configure who can read, write and execute on your broker and execution groups, by means of permissions on the SYSTEM.BROKER.AUTH and SYSTEM.BROKER.AUTH.<EGNAME> queues.
