Connection security profiles for IMS connections

Profiles for checking connections from IMS take the form:

hlq.IMS

where

hlq can be either qmgr-name (queue manager name) or

qsg-name (queue-sharing group name). If you are using both queue manager and queue-sharing group level security, WebSphere MQ checks for a profile prefixed by the queue manager name. If it does not find one, it looks for a profile prefixed by the queue-sharing group name. If it fails to find either profile, the connection request fails

For connection requests by IMS, permit access to the connection profile for the IMS control and dependent region user IDs.

For example, the following RACF commands allow:

• The IMS region user ID, IMSREG, to connect to the queue manager TQM1.

• Users in group BMPGRP to submit BMP jobs.

RDEFINE MQCONN TQM1.IMS UACC(NONE)
PERMIT TQM1.IMS CLASS(MQCONN) ID(IMSREG,BMPGRP) ACCESS(READ)
