Folks,

I'm reviewing out security and have a section for MQExplorer users and how OAM needs to be set to allow MQExplorer to work. Apart from the usual OAM settings for the objects I want to grant users access to, I'm really wondering (and can't find any explanation that explains to me) why an MQExplorer User requires +get access to the SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE.

I can figure out why it needs +put (of course), but not +browse or +get access.

Maybe I'm just not enlightened enough, but my impression was, that only the command server reads from the S.A.C.Q.

(We run the SVRCONN chl with a blank mcauser setting using the clients mcauser and block certain critical users with a self written security exit, e.g. mqm and a few more).

Cheers,
Felix

SACQ is used as a model for the replytoqueue.

At least, as I understand it.

Jeff,

wouldn't that be the SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL queue instead?

Location: US: west coast, almost. Otherwise, enroute.

A simple test would be to -get from that queue profile to see what happens.

However, this browse or get is not in the manuals.... ?!?

Code:

To connect to a remote queue manager and perform remote administrative tasks using the WebSphere MQ Explorer, the user executing the WebSphere MQ Explorer is required to have the following authorities:
v CONNECT authority on the target queue manager object
v INQUIRE authority on the target queue manager object
v DISPLAY authority to the target queue manager object
v INQUIRE authority to the queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL
v DISPLAY authority to the queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL
v INPUT authority to the queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL
v OUTPUT authority to the queue, SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE
v Authority to perform the action selected

I think it must have been this:

http://hursleyonwmq.wordpress.com/2007/02/08/using-websphere-mq-explorer-as-a-read-only-viewer/

Code:

Next, you need to give permission to the queues that WMQ Explorer will need:

setmqaut -m YOUR_QUEUE_MANAGER -t q -n SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE -p YOUR_USER_NAME +get +browse +inq
setmqaut -m YOUR_QUEUE_MANAGER -t q -n SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE -p YOUR_USER_NAME +get +browse +inq +put
setmqaut -m YOUR_QUEUE_MANAGER -t q -n SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL -p YOUR_USER_NAME +inq +browse +get +dsp


Cheers,
Felix

That blog post is probably out of date. You should compare with the docs.
