Hi, I have installed MQC8 on the linux machine and able to connect to remote Queue Manager (MQ Server 8 version) using "mqm" user. Remote OS/MQ server machine is not asking for password authentication for mqm userid and allowing execute "runmqsc" command on the queue manager. Also, MQ admin team has disabled security on the queue manager using below command
alter qmgr CHLAUTH(DISABLED)
alter qmgr CONNAUTH('')

I want to connect to Remote Queue manager using non-mqm user ID. I cannot execute runmqsc command in client machine without su mqm userid. Is it possible to execute "runmqsc" without non-mqm user and how can i achieve that. If possible , i want to get only certain privileges on that user id

If you want to provide runmqsc like functions with a more restricted access (and a better gui... ) you can look at https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-mqsc-editor-plugin (shameless plug). This will run your mqsc commands as whatever user you've configured the MQ Connection in MQExplorer to use.

Basic runmqsc is intended to be an admin only tool, and not intended to be used by normal users.

MQGem also makes tools that can be used to provide command line access to runmqsc like functions that can use more restricted security and run from non-mqm users.

I do hope you're not doing that in a Prod environment......

No it's not, as you were told in your other thread here.

The reasons for this are very well explained by my most worthy associate, as well as some very good alternatives.
