RFE: Add Support for Channel Security Exit in AMQP & MQTT Channels

November 3, 2015 Roger Lacroix

All, I need everyone’s help in getting IBM to add a missing feature to AMQP & MQTT channels. When IBM added direct support for MQTT to an MQ queue manager, I didn’t look very carefully at how IBM implemented the channel attributes (busy doing other things). Now IBM has added AMQP channel as of MQ […]

In the summer of 2014, I decided to clean up up some compiler warning messages that certain compilers (HP-UX cc comes to mind) were complaining […]

Another New Feature being added to MQAUSX (and z/MQAUSX)

July 6, 2015 Roger Lacroix

A customer requested a solution to a problem that is not really an MQ Authenticate User Security Exit (MQAUSX) issue. The customer has several applications that, shall we say, are poorly written and they will not likely be changed. These particular customer applications connect, open, put (and/or get), close and disconnect from the queue manager […]

May 1, 2015 Roger Lacroix

I have been researching various ways of increasing the security that MQ Authenticate User Security Exit (MQAUSX) could apply when a client application connects to an MQ queue manager. I have been doing a lot of reading on factors of authentication. i.e. Something you know, Something you have, and Something you are. Two-factor and multi-factor […]
