Simplification of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection support
- In IBM MQ 9.0.4 and earlier, callers of the REST API must copy the value of the
csrfToken
cookie, and set it in an HTTP header calledibm-mq-rest-csrf-token
, if they want to use any HTTP verb other than GET. In IBM MQ 9.0.5 and onwards, thecsrfToken
cookie no longer exists. CSRF protection is provided by the presence of theibm-mq-rest-csrf-token
HTTP header in requests to the REST API.This update requires any applications that used thecsrfToken
cookie to be changed. For more information on this change, see: - The mqRestCsrfExpirationInMinutes configuration property, added in IBM MQ 9.0.4, has been removed
BluemixRegistration
stanza renamed to ReportingService
stanza
From IBM MQ 9.0.5, the
BluemixRegistration
stanza, in the qm.ini file, has been
renamed to be the ReportingService
stanza. See qm.ini for
details.
From IBM MQ 9.0.5,
theBluemixRegistration
stanza, in the CSQMQMIN dataset , has been renamed to be the

to the ReportingService
stanza.
