When I attempt to setup a unix user account/group to set security to with setmqaut for use with a Win2000 VB client API, I can not seem to get the information passed in the UserIdentifier by the VB app through my Svrconn channel to match up with the Unix account/group.
Does this make sense to anyone ? How do I authenticate the user of the client connection when it crosses platforms like this ?
I currently just hard code the mqm user in the mcauser attribute of the channel but this leaves everything wide open.

Hi,

You would probably get a bigger / better response if you posted this question in the MQSeries Support forum rather than in the Capitalware Product Support forum.

I haven't done any channel exit stuff in a while but here goes. First, you must create 2 channel exits:
(1) One for the client-side
(2) The other for the server-side.

The logic / information passed between the 2 exits is up to you since you will be writing both. What I have done is on the client-side set the pMQCD->UserIdentifier to the UserID and pMQCD->Password to the user inputted password.

On the server-side I verify the incoming UserID and password, either directly with the OS or with an external kept list (note: external list is not good for security).

Then if there is a match allow the channel to start, otherwise stop the channel (return an error) from starting.

Hope that helps.
