IT27974: The client user name is truncated in an AMQ9777 error message.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the owner of the application is a user account including a
  space character and the resulting client connection is blocked
  by a channel
  authentication rule, the AMQ9777 message generated in queue
  manager error log displays a truncated client userid.
  

Local fix

• None.  The problem only affects the text written to the error
  logs.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Applications defining authority records for users (CLNTUSER's)
  that have spaces within the user ID.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If a client connection was blocked by a channel authentication
  rule defined for a userid that had a space character within it,
  the AMQ9777 error message recorded in the error logs incorrectly
  truncated the message. The message was truncated at the first
  space character within the CLNTUSER rather than the space
  character that marked the end of the user ID.  The coding error
  only affected what appeared in the error logs, there was no
  effect on the granting or refusing access based on the OAM
  authority rules defined for that userID.
  

Problem conclusion

• The coding error has been resolved to record the full user ID in
  the AMQ9777 error message.
