Commercial Products for distributed platforms affected: MQ Auditor MQ Authenticate User Security […]

Weird Problem related to a Channel Security Exit

March 1, 2019 Roger Lacroix

I posted the following weird channel security exit problem on the MQSeries ListServer. I received a lot of emails (both public and private) offering help to the problem. Thanks. It was not an SELinux issue nor was it a corrupt shared library issue. It was an issue related to permissions for a mount point. Here […]

Their security concerns were similar to what I posted several months ago in “So You Secured MQ But How Do You Know It Is Secure?“. During the discussion, they brought up a couple of interesting comments: How to correlate […]

Here We Go Again!

December 13, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware is being forced to change our online shopping cart again. Ugh! When Capitalware started selling software in 2003 (yup, a long time ago), I signed up with RegSoft (owned by Digital River) to handle the online shopping cart. Everything worked well and I was happy with the setup. In January 2011, Digital River decided […]

Capitalware IniFile GUI Tools Updated

November 26, 2018 Roger Lacroix

If you read my ‘Size Matters’ blog posting, this is just a continuation but for Capitalwre’s IniFile GUI Tools. Many of Capitalware’s back-end solutions have a lot of keyword/value pairs, so each product has an associated IniFile GUI Tool program to make it easier for the MQAdmin to configure the IniFile rather than using notepad […]

So You Secured MQ But How Do You Know It Is Secure?

October 26, 2018 Roger Lacroix

As the MQ Technical Conference V2.0.1.8 t-shirts said “MQAdmin: the superhero of middleware messaging!“. Since, you are a “superhero”, you have secured your MQ environment. You have implemented CHLAUTH and/or CONNAUTH features in IBM MQ. So, give yourself a pat on the back, a gold star or have another cold one on you because you […]
