I am trying to understand the CHLAUTH feature .
I have a MQ 7.5(Windows) , Queue Manager: QM5 , SVRCONN channel : CHL1 (without SSL)
Scenario 1: Try to connect using CHL1 from MQ explorer from my Local Machine. It should reject the connection , as CHLAUTH is enabled.
> As expected the connection rejected.
Scenario 2: To allow channel CHL1 only to connect to the QM5 for MQ ADMIN task using MQ Explorer.
> I have execute the below in QM5
SET CHLAUTH(CHL1) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(my_name) MCAUSER('mqadmin')
> Tried connecting from the MQ Explorer . As expected able to connect.
Scenario 3: To diallow connection From my MQ explorer of the same machine from where I tested abve scenario.
> I have executed the below :
SET CHLAUTH(CHL1) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('my_machine_address) USERSRC(NOACCESS)
> Tried again from the MQ Explorer. But I am still able to connect, where I was expecting I should not able to connect.
> I can ssee CHL1 is running with the same IP adress , which I have given in the ADDRESS parameter above.
Anything I am missing here ?  |

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you are making two different connections from the same machine? Is this correct? What is different about the two connections that you intend the CHLAUTH rules to use to differentiate between them and let one in, but disallow the other? Is it that one runs using CLNTUSER(my_name) and the other does not?
If you are unsure how each connection is reflected at the queue manager in terms of the fields CHLAUTH checks here is something to try. Starting as you did without the new CHLAUTH rule in place, where both channel connections are blocked, run each connection attempt and then look in the queue manager's error log to see the 'Channel is blocked' error message. This will show you what all the fields checked by CHLAUTH are. You can then see how to build a rule that can allow one in and disallow the other. If you are still unsure, post the results of what you find back on here.
P.S. Please ensure you have a backstop rule in place (see https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/aimsupport/entry/websphere_mq_chlauth_the_back_stop_rule)
Cheers
