dmpmqaut

Dump a list of current authorizations for a range of WebSphere® MQ object types and profiles.

Purpose

Use the dmpmqaut command to dump the current authorizations to a specified object.

Syntax

Optional parameters

-m QMgrName

Dump authority records only for the queue manager specified. If you omit this parameter, only authority records for the default queue manager are dumped.

-n Profile

The name of the profile for which to dump authorizations. The profile name can be generic, using wildcard characters to specify a range of names as explained in Using OAM generic profiles on UNIX or Linux® systems and Windows.

-l

Dump only the profile name and type. Use this option to generate a terse list of all defined profile names and types.

-a

Generate set authority commands.

-t ObjectType

The type of object for which to dump authorizations. Possible values are:

Value	Description
authinfo	An authentication information object, for use with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) channel security
channel or chl	A channel
clntconn or clcn	A client connection channel
listener or lstr	A listener
namelist or nl	A namelist
process or prcs	A process
queue or q	A queue or queues matching the object name parameter
qmgr	A queue manager
rqmname or rqmn	A remote queue manager name
service or srvc	A service
topic or top	A topic

-s ServiceComponent

If installable authorization services are supported, specifies the name of the authorization service for which to dump authorizations. This parameter is optional; if you omit it, the authorization inquiry is made to the first installable component for the service.

-p PrincipalName

This parameter applies to WebSphere MQ for Windows only; UNIX systems keep only group authority records.

The name of a user for whom to dump authorizations to the specified object. The name of the principal can optionally include a domain name, specified in the following format:

userid@domain

For more information about including domain names on the name of a principal, see Principals and groups.

-g GroupName

The name of the user group for which to dump authorizations. You can specify only one name, which must be the name of an existing user group.

For IBM® WebSphere MQ for Windows only, the group name can optionally include a domain name, specified in the following formats:

GroupName@domain
domain\GroupName

-e

Display all profiles used to calculate the cumulative authority that the entity has to the object specified in -n Profile. The variable Profile must not contain any wildcard characters.

The following parameters must also be specified:

-m QMgrName
-n Profile
-t ObjectType

and either -p PrincipalName, or -g GroupName.

-x

Display all profiles with the same name as specified in -n Profile. This option does not apply to the QMGR object, so a dump request of the form dmpmqaut -m QM -t QMGR ... -x is not valid.

Examples

The following examples show the use of dmpmqaut to dump authority records for generic profiles:

This example dumps all authority records with a profile that matches queue a.b.c for principal user1.
```
dmpmqaut -m qm1 -n a.b.c -t q -p user1
```
The resulting dump would look something like this:
```
profile:     a.b.*
object type: queue
entity:      user1
type:        principal
authority:   get, browse, put, inq
```
Note: UNIX users cannot use the -p option; they must use -g groupname instead.

This example dumps all authority records with a profile that matches queue a.b.c.


dmpmqaut -m qmgr1 -n a.b.c -t q

The resulting dump would look something like this:


profile:     a.b.c
object type: queue
entity:      Administrator
type:        principal
authority:   all
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
profile:     a.b.*
object type: queue
entity:      user1
type:        principal
authority:   get, browse, put, inq
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
profile:     a.**
object type: queue
entity:      group1
type:        group
authority:   get

This example dumps all authority records for profile a.b.*, of type queue.


dmpmqaut -m qmgr1 -n a.b.* -t q

The resulting dump would look something like this:


profile:     a.b.*
object type: queue
entity:      user1
type:        principal
authority:   get, browse, put, inq

This example dumps all authority records for queue manager qmX.


dmpmqaut -m qmX

The resulting dump would look something like this:


profile:     q1
object type: queue
entity:      Administrator
type:        principal
authority:   all
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
profile:     q*
object type: queue
entity:      user1
type:        principal
authority:   get, browse
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
profile:     name.*
object type: namelist
entity:      user2
type:        principal
authority:   get
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
profile:     pr1
object type: process
entity:      group1
type:        group
authority:   get

This example dumps all profile names and object types for queue manager qmX.


dmpmqaut -m qmX -l

The resulting dump would look something like this:


profile: q1, type: queue
profile: q*, type: queue
profile: name.*, type: namelist
profile: pr1, type: process

Note:

For WebSphere MQ for Windows only, all principals displayed include domain information, for example:


profile:     a.b.*
object type: queue
entity:      user1@domain1
type:        principal
authority:   get, browse, put, inq

Each class of object has authority records for each group or principal. These records have the profile name @CLASS and track the crt (create) authority common to all objects of that class. If the crt authority for any object of that class is changed then this record is updated. For example:
```
profile:     @class
object type: queue
entity:      test
entity type: principal
authority:   crt
```
This shows that members of the group test have crt authority to the class queue.
For WebSphere MQ for Windows only, members of the Administrators group are by default given full authority. This authority, however, is given automatically by the OAM, and is not defined by the authority records. The dmpmqaut command displays authority defined only by the authority records. Unless an authority record has been explicitly defined, therefore, running the dmpmqaut command against the Administrators group displays no authority record for that group.
