XMSC_PASSWORD

Data type:

Byte array

Property of:

ConnectionFactory

A password that can be used to authenticate the application when it attempts to connect to a messaging server. The password is used with the XMSC_USERID property.

By default, the property is not set.

If you are connecting to WebSphere MQ on Multiplatforms, and you set the XMSC_USERID property of the connection factory, it must match the userid of the logged on user. If we do not set these properties, the queue manager uses the userid of the logged on user by default. If you require further connection-level authentication of individual users we can write a client authentication exit which is configured in WebSphere MQ. We can learn more about creating a client authentication exit in the Authentication topic in the WebSphere MQ Clients manual.

To authenticate the user when connecting to WebSphere MQ on z/OS® you need to use a security exit.
