Defining a server-connection channel on the server

Start MQSC if necessary, then define the server-connection channel.

Procedure

1. Optional: If your server platform is not z/OS, first create and start a queue manager and then start MQSC commands.
   1. Create a queue manager, called QM1 for example:

      crtmqm QM1
      

   2. Start the queue manager:

      strmqm QM1
      

   3. Start MQSC commands:

      runmqsc QM1
      

2. Define a channel with your chosen name and a channel type of server-connection.

   DEFINE CHANNEL(CHAN1) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) +
   DESCR('Server-connection to Client_1')
   

   This channel definition is associated with the queue manager running on the server.
3. Use the following command to allow the inbound connect access to your queue manager:

   SET CHLAUTH(CHAN1) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('IP address') MCAUSER('userid')
   

   • Where SET CHLAUTH uses the name of the channel defined in the previous step.
   • Where 'IP address' is the IP address of the client.
   • Where 'userid' is the ID we want to provide to the channel for access control to the target queues. This field is case-sensitive.

   We can choose to identify your inbound connection using a number of different attributes. The example uses IP address. Alternative attributes include client user ID and TLS Subject Distinguished Name. For more information, see Channel authentication records
