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 […]

MQAUSX and MQCE setup on 2 Solaris servers & Client Encrypted File

May 3, 2013 Roger Lacroix

Using MQAUSX and MQCE together is only a little more complex than uses a single MQ exit. The same software is installed on the server regardless if it is acting as a “server” or “client”. So, let’s go through a setup and test of MQAUSX and MQCE on 2 Solaris servers where 1 Solaris server […]

Exits and WMQ installed in a non-default location

April 11, 2013 Roger Lacroix

I have been testing Capitalware products (various exits) on different platforms with WebSphere MQ v7.1 & v7.5 and life was going along very well. I had a customer (who uses our security exit) just contacted me saying that they have a Linux server with 3 different releases of MQ installed (v7.0.1.9, v7.1.0.0 and v7.5.0.1) where […]

dlsym and dlerror Weirdness on Solaris

February 14, 2013 Roger Lacroix

Lately, I have been complaining about Microsoft’s Visual C++, so I figured I better write about some recent Solaris weirdness. A customer installed MQAUSX on Solaris v10 that has WebSphere MQ v7.0.1.9 installed. They configured MQAUSX to authenticate the incoming MQ client connections against a remote LDAP server. Everything was working perfectly fine. Here’s what […]

Security with Secret Phrases, Passwords, etc.

November 19, 2012 Roger Lacroix

Over the weekend, I was reading different articles/blogs about how people think that passwords, no matter how long, are useless. These people write that their accounts (email, Apple, phone, bank, etc) were hacked even when they used long passwords. When you reread the articles/blogs and analyze what they are saying, you realize that the password, […]
