XMSC_PASSWORD

Data type:

Byte array

Property of:

ConnectionFactory

A password that can be used to authenticate the application when it attempts to connect to a messaging server. The password is used with the XMSC_USERID property.

By default, the property is not set.

If you are connecting to IBM® WebSphere® MQ on distributed platforms, and you set the XMSC_USERID property of the connection factory, it must match the userid of the logged on user. If you do not set these properties, the queue manager uses the userid of the logged on user by default. If you require further connection-level authentication of individual users you can write a client authentication exit which is configured in IBM WebSphere MQ. You can learn more about creating a client authentication exit in the Authentication topic in the IBM WebSphere MQ Clients manual.

To authenticate the user when connecting to IBM WebSphere MQ on z/OS® you need to use a security exit.
