Create channel authentication records with a final assigned user ID identity

We can use the channel authentication records widget to create blocking and warning channel authentication records with a final assigned user ID identity. The final assigned user ID identity matches to list of specified user IDs from a server channel.

Before starting

We must create a channel authentication records widget before we can use it. For more information about creating IBM MQ object widgets, see Work with IBM MQ objects.

Procedure

To add a channel authentication record:

1. Click the create icon in the channel authentication record widget toolbar.
2. Select the Rule Type to indicate what type of rule we want on the channel authentication record:
   • Select Block to block access to inbound connections.
   • Select Warn to warn about access to inbound connections that would be blocked. The connection is allowed access, and an error message is reported. If events are configured, an event message is created that shows the details of what would be blocked. Only matched rules are reported.

3. Select the Final assigned user ID identity type from the list.
4. Click Next
5. Specify a Profile Name. The profile name is the name of the channel or set of channels for which we are setting the channel authentication. The profile can contain wildcards so that we can block a range of channels. For example, the profile alphadelta* blocks channels named alphadelta1, alphadelta2, alphdelta3 and so on.
6. Specify the User list. The user list is a comma-separated list of user IDs to be blocked from the channel.
7. Optional: Click Next.
8. Optional: Specify a Description for the channel authentication record.
9. Click Create. The new channel authentication record is created.
