CSPPasswordPtr (MQPTR)

This is the address in bytes of the password to be used in authentication.

This is an input field. The initial value of this field is the null pointer in those programming languages that support pointers, and an all-null byte string otherwise. This field is ignored if Version is less than MQCNO_VERSION_5.

This field can contain an empty password which is rejected by the operating system or LDAP password checking, depending on setup, but is not rejected by IBM MQ before passing it the authentication method.
