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. For more information, see Resource security.
  • 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.
