Inquire Security on z/OS®

The Inquire Security (MQCMD_INQUIRE_SECURITY) command returns information about the current settings for the security parameters.

Optional parameters

CommandScope (MQCFST)

Command scope (parameter identifier: MQCACF_COMMAND_SCOPE). Specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group. We can specify one of the following:

• blank (or omit the parameter altogether). The command is processed on the queue manager on which it was entered.
• a queue manager name. The command is processed on the queue manager you specify, providing it is active within the queue sharing group. If you specify a queue manager name other than the queue manager on which it was entered, you must be using a queue sharing group environment, and the command server must be enabled.
• an asterisk (*). The command is processed on the local queue manager and is also passed to every active queue manager in the queue sharing group.

The maximum length is MQ_QSG_NAME_LENGTH.

SecurityAttrs (MQCFIL)

Security parameter attributes (parameter identifier: MQIACF_SECURITY_ATTRS). The attribute list might specify the following value on its own - default value used if the parameter is not specified:

MQIACF_ALL

All attributes.

or a combination of the following:

MQIACF_SECURITY_SWITCH

Current setting of the switch profiles. If the subsystem security switch is off, no other switch profile settings are returned.

MQIACF_SECURITY_TIMEOUT

Timeout value.

MQIACF_SECURITY_INTERVAL
