APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If the owner of the application is a user account including a space character and the resulting client connection is blocked by a channel authentication rule, the AMQ9777 message generated in queue manager error log displays a truncated client userid.
Local fix
None. The problem only affects the text written to the error logs.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Applications defining authority records for users (CLNTUSER's) that have spaces within the user ID. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a client connection was blocked by a channel authentication rule defined for a userid that had a space character within it, the AMQ9777 error message recorded in the error logs incorrectly truncated the message. The message was truncated at the first space character within the CLNTUSER rather than the space character that marked the end of the user ID. The coding error only affected what appeared in the error logs, there was no effect on the granting or refusing access based on the OAM authority rules defined for that userID.
Problem conclusion
The coding error has been resolved to record the full user ID in the AMQ9777 error message. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.12 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.7 v9.1 CD 9.1.3 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.3 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
