setall - allows the context to be set
setid - allows the id to be set
passall - allows the context to be passed (rather than set or created new)
passid - allows the id to be passed (rather than set or inherited)

Vitor,

this is where i am exactly lost. context here means, other permissions like put, get? and id means anyother user or group to whom the permissions can be granted?

setall - Allows you to set all the context fields in the MQMD
setid - Allows you to set only the identity context fields in the MQMD
passall - Allows you pass all the context fields in the MQMD from a previous got message
passid - Allows you pass only the identity the context fields in the MQMD from a previous got message

Normally, context fields (see below) are set by the queue manager to represent the application that MQPUT the message. With higher levels of authority, i.e. those authorities you asked about, then your application can fill in these fields itself instead of the queue manager asking the OS what they should be. This of course means an application can fill in what it wants and masquerade as someone else, hence the need to be granted the authority to do this.

Context fields in the MQMD
Identity context fields are:-
  • UserIdentifier
  • AccountingToken
  • ApplIdentityData

Origin context fields are:-
  • PutApplType
  • PutApplName
  • PutDate
  • PutTime
  • ApplOriginData

Further Reading

Cheers
Morag

Hi Morag, I was looking for this, my question is
if we gave app group permission on ALIAS Q and in that permission we specifiy PassAll, does that mean, we don't need to give any permission to "TARGETQ" at all?

It has nothing specifically to do with the passall authorisation.

If you give the app group the permissions it needs on the Alias Q, and it always uses the Alias Q name in its App, then you don't need to give that app group any permissions on the Target Queue name.

To put it another way, the permissions are checked on the queue named by the application.

The "passall" authorisation is allowing a user/group to do one specific operation on a queue, and that is to pass the context fields from the message on the MQGET, to the message on the MQPUT. That is "Passing" from one message to another. It has nothing to do with alias queues and base queues.

Cheers,
Morag
