Hello, everyone! Firstly I must say: MQ API is a black box for me. I have no experience with MQ.
My task - to learn how to use a queue for communication one system with other banking systems.
I call MQ API functions (MQ 7.5) from Progress OpenEdge (running on Windows 7) and trying to connect to the queue manager running on the other UNIX machine. Is it possible to pass the username and password for authentication MQ programmatically?
If I run a program under a local user, which is member of mqm group - it works normally. If I run my program under my domain user - error 2035.
I looked description MQCONNX and decided to pass the required username and password with connection options programmatically.
I described all the necessary structures and initialized MCAUserId and MCAPassword and call MQCONNX. I still get the error 2035.
I read some similar topics and came to the conclusion that such authentication can be implemented by writing your own security exit handler.
I can not write own security exit code, because I do not MQ administrator.
Can I log in using MQCONNX? The system what I supported is used by about 50 users and there is no possibility to add all of them to MQ ACL. Thanks!

How will you convince the Unix server to know about the ActiveDirectory?

NEVER run any applications as MQM.

In your version, only the username. The ability to pass username and password was added in version 8.

Functioning as designed. The mqm group is implicitly authorized for all MQ actions. It sounds like your domain user (and none of the groups of which it is a member) are.

Because even with the right password, that user id is still not authorized via the id or group membership.

Or by purchasing one, or by upgrading to MQv8 and getting it out of the box.

And you wouldn't want to anyway. Exits are an advanced topic.

Of course.

Why not? Put them in a group (or groups) and authorize that. Or connect via a channel that has an MCAUser set. Or have a channel authority rule map your user (users) onto a valid user.

The bottom line is that the UNIX queue manager doesn't know or care that you're connecting with a valid domain user on Windows. It checks against user ids that are valid on UNIX, and gets the allowed functions from the ACL it holds. However you connect, you need to end up with credentials that the queue manager will allow to perform the functions you need.

The administrator gave me to connect to a test queue, among other parameters, and user name. I pass it to the field MCAUserIdentifier in Channel data structure (MQCD). But stuck with 2035 error.

Yes, I understand the reason for the error. My login does not have access to the MQ.

How should I pass login? In what field of MQCD I must write user name that has right to MQ?

Note, this includes a password. MQ v75 will ignore it. Unless you have an exit.

You don't connect to a test queue, you connect to a queue manager. Make sure that the administrator granted you the queue manager level authorities as well as the queue level ones.

Also be sure that the relevant permissions are in place to allow you to use an alternative user id.

At the last, ask the administrator exactly what permission is missing that results in the 2035 error, and what user id the queue manager is checking. They may need to enable security event messages to get all of those details.

Notice the other fields in the MQCSP.

Vitor, I'll check. At first sight user extmqusr has all the necessary rights. I created a local user extmqusr in my Windows system and run program (where MQCONNX changed with MQCONN) under him. It works!
In addition, I use amqsputc in console which is runned as extmqusr. I put the message in queue.

mqjeff, I'll explore MQCSP again.
I'll let you know about the results later.Thanks.

I found that using the wrong version value equal to 1. I set the version value to 6. I connect to the queue manager on a remote server. So I set ChannelType equal MQCHT_CLNTCONN. Then I read in the manual: "The MCA user identifier is not relevant for channels with a ChannelType of
MQCHT_CLNTCONN". In which field I should write the username "extmqusr", if MCAUserIdentifier not suitable? May be RemoteUserIdentifier?

The MCAUser is not relevant on a CLNTCONN because it's used on the SVRCONN side.

Again, if you want to do this, you should populate the MQCSP (ignoring the password field).

Then attach the MQCSP to the MQCNO.

Sorry, I don't understand. What specific element of the structure MQCNO I must to initialize as MQCSP?

The appropriate one.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.5.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.dev.doc/q095410_.htm?lang=en

It's really really really much faster for you to read the KC directly rather than waiting for, possibly sarcastic or annoyed, responses here.

I use in work this link.
In addition, I used manual pdf MQSeries API for version 5.2, and did not know that the description of the MQCNO AND MQCD structure is outdated.
Now I conclude that СlientСonnPtr I must set as null pointer, and the SecurityParmsPtr initialize and pass as MQCSP structure. Right?

I'm still not clear on why you're trying to use the MQCONNX rather than having the administrator set the MCAUser on the SVRCONN.

I'm also not clear on why the administrator hasn't insisted you do that.
