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 […]
