Hi
I have a java application running on Linux platform under a particular user id which is greater than 12 characters so not able to authorize in MQ (I think).Getting the error as below.User group is mentioned in command
setmqaut -m ab4ggd1.MQ -t qmgr -g aabsomexsvcgrp +alladm
AMQ7026: A principal or group name was invalid.
I was told the error is happening because userid/group is more than 12 characters, there is no workaround other than reducing the length of userid/groupname to below 12 characters
Is there a workaround?

Depending on your version the 12 char limit for the user might no longer apply. But it still does for the group length...

MQ version is 8.x
Can I use a different user id to write message on the queue while issuing MQPUT1 call? So if the application is running under a user called USERRRRRRRRRR1 when I write message to queue can I specify somehow to use another user called USER2 and make Queue manager authorize USER2?
I'm trying to find out the article on web but not sure whether I'm looking at correct one , https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.dev.doc/q098140_.html ? Does anyone have any example code snippet to provide? |

You can use Alternate User ID (MQOO_ALTERNATE_USER_ID) in order to do this, BUT, you have to be granted authority to claim to be someone else, so your long user ID would still be needed to check whether you're allowed to do the MQPUT under a different user.
Instead, you need to run the program under a different user ID. Now you can achieve that at the O/S or by the use of ADOPTCTX(YES) and supplying a user ID and password on your MQCONNX call.
Cheers,

Thanks Morag
I passed on this information to the team and I got reply from our MQ administrator asking - "This is for Channel authorization and How do I provide permissions for the queues ?"
My understanding(from what I read after your post) of using ADOPTCTX(YES) is that ,userid provided by client will be used for channel authorization and object authorization as well(i.e put messages etc),is that not the case? is there anything else needs to be done for writing message to queue ? |

There are various ways to change the user ID under which an application is considered, by the queue manager, to be running. From the wording of your initial question I assumed (wrongly) that you were a locally bound application.
Here are (some of) the ways:-
- Locally bound applications
- Run the application under a different user ID using O/S facilities
- Pass a user ID and password and use ADOPTCTX(YES)
- Client connected applications
- Set the MCAUSER using CHLAUTH rules
- Set the MCAUSER using a Security Exit
- Set the MCAUSER with a static definition (say if your authentication is already covered with SSL certificates)
- Pass a user ID and password and use ADOPTCTX(YES)
In order to set permissions for the user ID you end up running as (from one of the above mechanisms) you need to use a similar command to that which you provided in your initial question.

For example
