  ****************************************************************
  Attempting to create a Channel Authentication record with
  a profile name that is prefixed by blanks or consists
  entirely of blanks succeeds.
  
  The rules for naming MQ objects states that leading blanks
  are not permitted for names so the attempt to define a
  Channel Authentication record with such a name should fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• Processing has been amended to ensure that attempts to define
  Channel Authentication records with profile names containing
  leading blanks are rejected.
