User IDs used by the intra-group queuing agent

The user IDs that are checked when the intra-group queuing agent opens destination queues are determined by the values of the IGQAUT and IGQUSER queue manager attributes.

The possible user IDs are:

    Intra-group queuing user ID (IGQ)
    The user ID determined by the IGQUSER attribute of the receiving queue manager. If this is set to blanks, the user ID of the receiving queue manager is used. However, because the receiving queue manager has authority to access all queues defined to it, security checks are not performed for the receiving queue manager's user ID. In this case:

    • If only one user ID is to be checked and the user ID is that of the receiving queue manager, no security checks take place. This can occur when IGAUT is set to ONLYIGQ or ALTIGQ.
    • If two user IDs are to be checked and one of the user IDs is that of the receiving queue manager, security checks take place for the other user ID only. This can occur when IGAUT is set to DEF, CTX, or ALTIGQ.
    • If two user IDs are to be checked and both user IDs are that of the receiving queue manager, no security checks take place. This can occur when IGAUT is set to ONLYIGQ.
