HI,
Application has complained that they are not able to access the mq queue.
the error log has entry saying no authorization for the user to get.
It was supposed to be there as application is using it from some time.
when we checked we could see the get authorization is missing .app started working after providing the authorization.
We have checked our qmgr backup also to see if the authorization is missing .we can see in the backup file the GET authorization is present.
Is there a possibility for the authorizations to change without manual intervention.There is nothing in the logs too which says the authorization is removed.
This is on MQ9.2 |

No.
Maybe the app has changed its credentials, and MQ is using a different authorization profile compared to the previous state.
Check the first authorization error in the MQ error logs and relate the timing to any possible changes in the application.
If the are using MQ Client, check if any settings have changed on their SVRCONN channel, eg. MCAUSER.

Thanks Gbaddeley,
Actually application has changed their password on their end.
will that be a reason for the missing Get authorizations and if so why only get is missing .
i am also trying to compare the logs first updated with the error and the application password change timings |

I am curious, what this means. What form does your backup file take, and how can you see authorizations in it?
Cheers,
Morag

Ah gotcha. So you know the last date it was there - the date of the dmpmqfg. However, unless you have command or config events turned on, any reporting of who removed it is not available.
Cheers,
Morag

Yes, it was present till the application changed the credentials on their app.
The timings of the first error in the our logs and the App credentails change time is also matching.
As gbaddeley said change in the application credentials could be the reason .
not sure why only Get has changed and all other authroizations are not changed on the queue[/list][/quote][/code] |

Password change will not affect authorisations. Userid change could do it.

GET could only change if there was a deliberate operation by someone/something to modify a MQ authorization profile.
Can you do a diff on the backup and current state? Maybe other things have changed as well.
