MQAUSX Client-side Java Bug

January 22, 2014 Roger Lacroix

The following was recently reported: For WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, when the user inputs an incorrect password, the exit rejects the connection (as expected). If you try and connect again, you do not get a pop up prompting you for a new password attempt and the exit immediately ends the connection attempt. If a user […]

Need beta Testers for a new MQ client-side security exit that works with DTCC

November 21, 2013 Roger Lacroix

Every 7-8 months I get an email asking me if MQAUSX’s client-side security exit will work with DTCC (Depository Trust Clearing Corporation) server-side security exit. I normally tell the person to tell DTCC to use MQAUSX since MQAUSX’s client-side security exit is free to use. But that goes nowhere fast. šŸ™ After another recent request […]
