We routinely change the MCAUSER of any SYSTEM channels to "nobody" so that they cannot be used as points of entry. We then create a separate channel for specific applications etc. (remembering to remove/change the MCAUSER for each individual channel).
In any event, Java client connections have been presented on this list server as significant security risks in the past.

They are not using the local bindings. To connect to the queue manager they decided to use SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN. The applications failed to connect and the error logs have the following errors. These errors continue though all their error logs. =================================================== 04/23/04 14:46:43 AMQ9508: Program cannot connect to the queue manager. EXPLANATION: The connection attempt to queue manager 'APPSERV5_F1_QM' failed with reason code 2059. ACTION: Ensure that the queue manager is available and operational. ----- amqrmsaa.c : 420 -------------------------------------------------------- 04/23/04 14:46:43 AMQ9999: Channel program ended abnormally. EXPLANATION: Channel program 'SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN' ended abnormally. ACTION: Look at previous error messages for channel program 'SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN' in the error files to determine the cause of the failure. ----- amqrmrsa.c : 467 -------------------------------------------------------- 04/23/04 14:46:43 AMQ9508: Program cannot connect to the queue manager.

The SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN continues to fail. I have little experience with Java connecting to queue managers. Any idea what we are having problems with?
