Security for the CICS-WebSphere MQ adapter

The CICS-WebSphere MQ adapter provides information to WebSphere® MQ specifically for use in WebSphere MQ security.

Information provided is as follows:
  • Whether CICS® resource-level security is active for this transaction, as specified on the RESSEC or RSLC operand of the TRANSACTION definition
  • User IDs. For terminal tasks where a user has not signed on, the user ID is the CICS user ID associated with the terminal and is one of the following:
    • The default CICS user ID as specified on the CICS DFLTUSER system initialization parameter.
    • A preset security user ID specified on the terminal definition
    For nonterminal tasks, the adapter acquires the user ID with a call to the user domain.
