MQOPEN option for alternate user authority

 

When you attempt to open an object using the MQOPEN call, the queue manager checks that you have the authority to open that object. If you are not authorized, the call fails.

However, server programs might want the queue manager to check the authorization of the user on whose behalf they are working, rather than the server’s own authorization. To do this, they must use the MQOO_ALTERNATE_USER_AUTHORITY option of the MQOPEN call, and specify the alternate user ID in the AlternateUserId field of the MQOD structure. Typically, the server would get the user ID from the context information in the message it is processing.
