IT38544: The MQ WebConsole only edits the first CHLAUTH records when multiple records exist for same channel.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you have more than one CHLAUTH record defined for the same
  channel, and you click on the edit button via MQ Console on
  either of the defined records, it will display the details for
  the first record defined.
  
  For example, if the following records are created via runmqsc:
  
  DEFINE CHANNEL(CHANNEL.NAME) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)
  SET CHLAUTH (CHANNEL.NAME) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('1.2.3.0')
  USERSRC(CHANNEL)
  SET CHLAUTH (CHANNEL.NAME) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('1.2.3.4')
  USERSRC(CHANNEL)
  SET CHLAUTH (CHANNEL.NAME) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('1.2.3.5')
  USERSRC(CHANNEL)
  
  WHhen you do the following via the MQ Console:
  
  Click on Manage Your queue managers
  Click on QMgrName
  Click on View Configuration
  Click on Security tab
  Click on Channel authentication
  
  A list with all defined CHLAUTH records is shown (including the
  3 that were defined earlier). However, if you click on the edit
  button on either one, all 3 of them shows the IP address of the
  first CHLAUTH record that was defined, in this case, the one
  for ADDRESS 1.2.3.0.
  

Local fix

• Use runmqsc to edit the CHALUTH records instead of the MQ
  Console.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This affects users of IBM MQ WebConsole
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When the WebConsole attempt to edit Channel authentication, the
  WebConsole will only look to edit the first one if there are
  multiple records that have been created for same channel.  This
  is due to the method used to generate an ID for each CHLAUTH
  entry, it is passed the CHLAUTH name.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been updated to a method that will generate a
  unique ID for each CHLAUTH record and allow updating of the
  correct CHLAUTH record.
