WebSphere MQ 7.1: How to remove a channel authentication record (CHLAUTH) - Middleware News


You have added a channel authentication record into a WebSphere MQ 7.1 queue manager:

DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
1 : DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
AMQ8878: Display channel authentication record details.
CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
CLNTUSER(rivera) USERSRC(CHANNEL)

Now you want to remove it and you try executing the following runmqsc command which you constructed using copy and paste from the above output:

DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(rivera) USERSRC(CHANNEL)
3 : DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(rivera) USERSRC(CHANNEL)

You get the following error:

AMQ8405: Syntax error detected at or near end of command segment below:-
DELETE CHLAUTH

The DELETE CHLAUTH does not exist and after consulting the MQ 7.1 Information Center you read that you have to use the SET CHLAUTH command with the argument ACTION(REMOVE). You try now:

SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(rivera) ACTION(REMOVE)
19 : SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(rivera) ACTION(REMOVE)

But you get the following error:

AMQ8884: Channel authentication record not found.

You specified the attribute CLNTUSER(rivera) as it was shown in the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*), thus, you think the record should be found. You want to know what is the problem?

Cause

See the following section of the MQ 7.1 Information Center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.doc%2Ffa11060_.htm
WebSphere MQ > Administering > Administering local WebSphere MQ objects > Performing local administration tasks using MQSC commands
WebSphere MQ object names
+ Case-sensitivity in MQSC commands
MQSC commands, including their attributes, can be written in upper-case or lower-case. Object names in MQSC commands are folded to upper-case (that is, QUEUE and queue are not differentiated), unless the names are enclosed within single quotation marks. If quotation marks are not used, the object is processed with a name in upper-case.

When specifying the SET command with the following value CLNTUSER(rivera) the string 'rivera' will be folded to upper-case resulting in the following value being actually used by runmqsc:
CLNTUSER(RIVERA)
And in this case, there is no record for the user RIVERA (the record is for 'rivera').

Answer

NOTICE that the userid mentioned in the CLNTUSER field of the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH command is NOT surrounded by single quotes.
However, you MUST include the single quotes when specifying the value during an ACTION(REMOVE):

SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('rivera') ACTION(REMOVE)
1 : set CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('rivera') ACTION(REMOVE)
AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set.

Troubleshooting Java/JMS SSL Configurations - Middleware News

 This document is intended to help diagnose WebSphere MQ V7 Java™ or JMS SSL setup errors. It lists most of the common configuration errors that can cause an SSL connection from a Java/JMS client to a queue manager to fail, and gives the course of action to resolve the problem. In each case the error can be diagnosed by a combination of the error seen in the client log - either a console output, trace file or SystemOut.log file - and the queue manager's error logs. The document is quite long, so the easiest way to find the potential error is to search for one of the errors seen in this list, then filter this list using the error from the opposite end of the channel. All cases here assume that 2-way authentication is being attempted (SSLCAUTH set to REQUIRED on the queue manager's SVRCONN channel). This is the default, and the errors are very similar for 1-way authentication (SSLCAUTH set to OPTIONAL). Symptom Instructions on collecting documentation...

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS:-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note: – MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure ...

Using telnet to test connectivity between IBM Websphere MQ Client and MQ server - Middleware News

You are having trouble connecting a WebSphere MQ client to a MQ server, receiving errors that you can not connect to the MQ queue manager. One of the first things to determine is if the two machines can communicate, and using the telnet tool is one way to accomplish it. Symptom Receiving errors which state that a queue manager is not found or not available. Connection errors. For example: AMQ9213, AMQ9524, AMQ9202 or AMQ9508 or MQRC =2059 0x0000080b MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Please note, this is by no means an exclusive list of errors related to this type a problem but just a sample of some of the more common error messages and codes that might occur. Cause One possible cause is that the two machines can not communicate. May be the IP address or hostname was not properly specified by the MQ client. The port number might be incorrect. A queue manager is not running at the desired host. The queue manager could be running, but the corresponding listener is not runnin...
