IT43606: CERTAIN SETDBPARMS ARE NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On Windows,  the credentials set using mqsisetdbparms command
  may never be used if the following conditions are met
  
  1. The user runs mqsisetdbparms where the resource type is a
  known credential type (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/
  12.0?topic=commands-mqsicredentials-command)
  
  2.  One or more characters of the resource type are in upper
  case.
  
  In the reported issue, the customer had created the dbparms as
  below
  
  mqsisetdbparms NODE -n 'TrustStore::truststorePass' -u 'ignore'
  -p 'password'
  
  
  The prefix TrustStore is a known credential type but T&S are
  in upper case,
  
  
  When the TrustStore::truststorePass is set as truststorePass
  under ComIbmJVMManager, it caused a failure in loading the trust
  store as the password was never retrieved correctly.  The same
  configuration worked on Linux.
  

Local fix

• Use the resource type as an unknown credential type(eg:
  ESB::truststorePass) while creating the dbparms on windows or
  use everything in lowercase.

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  On Windows,  the credentials that are set using mqsisetdbparms
  command may never be used if the following conditions are met
  
  1. The user runs mqsisetdbparms where the resource type is a
  known credential type
  (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=commands-mqs
  icredentials-command)
  
  2.  One or more characters of the resource type are in upper
  case.
  
  Example : The prefix TrustStore is a known credential type but
  T&S are in upper case. Hence, when 'TrustStore::truststorePass'
  is set as truststorePass under ComIbmJVMManager, it would cause
  a failure in loading the truststore as the password may never be
  retrieved correctly. The same configuration would work on Linux.
  

Problem conclusion

•  The product now correctly retrieves the credentials that are
  set using mqsisetdbparms.
