MQZIC – Identity context

 

The MQZIC structure is used on the MQZ_AUTHENTICATE_USER call for the IdentityContext parameter.

The MQZIC structure contains identity context information, that identifies the user of the application that first put the message on a queue:

• The queue manager fills the UserIdentifier field with a name that identifies the user, the way that the queue manager can do this depends on the environment in which the application is running.

• The queue manager fills the AccountingToken field with a token or number that it determined from the application that put the message.

• Applications can use the ApplIdentityData field for any extra information that they want to include about the user (for example, an encrypted password).

Suitably authorized applications may set the identity context using the MQZ_AUTHENTICTAE_USER function.

A Windows systems security identifier (SID) is stored in the AccountingToken field when a message is created under WebSphere MQ for Windows. The SID can be used to supplement the UserIdentifier field and to establish the credentials of a user.
