Thanks.. I see there is a redbook on Implementing MQ security from May
2003.. Is that the latest publication on MQ and SSL?

"I've been off the MQ board for six months.. Has implementing SSL gotten
any easier with MQ 5.3.5 ?"

>From an MQ perspective, it is the same as when it first came out with
5.3.

That's right.. I have heard this before. I could use the incoming userid
and incoming machine name and perform a lookup in a table and get an
assigned userid that has the correct priviledges. And that's about
halfway to the better solution of SSL and certificates. Our organization
has not implemented application level SSL and certificates so a
homegrown solution may be our only current option.

I've been off the MQ board for six months.. Has implementing SSL gotten
any easier with MQ 5.3.5 ?

But the real user could be some loser that defines the ID "mqm" on their
machine, logs on with that ID, and then your QM has no choice but to let
him do whatever they want!

I'm sorry - I took the documentation to mean that for non-Java clients,
on Windows and UNIX, the userid in the MQCD is the currently logged on
user and that the environment variables are not referencved. So if I
could verify that it was not a Java client, then I could rely on the
userid to be the real user.
