Is it possible to use a channel other than the SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG channel for toolkit connections. I know it seems strange that I would want to try this. I'm trying to get two different groups of users to connect to the Config Manager differently. One with the ID passing through (no MCA User) and the other with a hardcoded user. As you can imagine I'm looking for a quicker way to handle this than the channel exit but I'm thinking I might have to resort to that anyway. I have a group of users (offshore developers) that have ID's that won't exist on the Config Mgr box and I'm trying to figure out a way to deal with them and give them access (i.e. hardcode ID in channel), along with my regular users (i.e pass ID through). I might be able to get away with getting the offshore developers ID's on the Config Mgr box but I most certainly won't be able to get them ID's on the UNIX box where the brokers reside.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Paul,
that is a tricky one, I believe the SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG is hardcoded somewhere (not exactly sure).
You mention 2 development groups one on-shore one off-shore, why not give them their own development system.
The functionality of the Config mgr in V5 has changed dramatically and is no longer a central place to store your flows and do check-out / check-in anymore... that should be handled by CVS now.

Here's more details. I have one Config Mgr for my dev/test domain. The offshore team needs access and can only have access to some of the brokers. The other developers need all of the brokers. There's a cross over in that the "others" need access to all. I've got only one Config Mgr box at this time. One solution would be to get another box and use both connections in the toolkit. Can you think of any others to try with just one Config Mgr box.
Thanks for the help....
Paul

Paul,
just re-read your post, but the shortest route would be to have a second box (or get VMware! I use it too) and have 2 config mgrs, one for dev and one for test.
define an MCA on both SYSTEM.BRK.CONFIG channels
Use BlockIP2 from Jorgen Pedersen (I am working with him to sort out some 'details', but so far it is looking very promising!)
To allow different ranges of host addresses access to the Config Mgrs
i.e. 111.222.111.* for the offshore team and 10.222.111.* for the on-shore team.
For BlockIP2 see post http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12747
It's not 100% bullet proof, but since you can't define the ID's of the off-shore people this is your best workaround.

Thanks. This looks good, I'll pursue this option.
