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. 🙁

After another recent request and several posting on mqseries.net, I have created a client-side security exit based on DTCC’s mqmdh001.c sample. What I did was take the framework for MQAUSX’s client-side security exit, remove the MQAUSX guts and plug in the DTCC stuff.

I have it working on my system but I don’t have access to a DTCC queue manager to do a real test. Therefore, I need some beta testers to do some real testing.

I have made it super easy to configure the exit to send the credentials to DTCC. You can specify your credentials directly in the SCYDATA field of the channel or put the credentials in a file and then put the file name in the SCYDATA field of the channel.

I will build the exit for AIX, HP-UX, IBM i (OS/400), Linux (x86, Power & zSeries), Solaris, Windows and z/OS.

Once I have a GA version of the product, it will be released under the license of ‘Licensed as Free’.

If you would like to beta test the client-side security exit then send an email to support@capitalware.com
