Closed as program error.
Error description
In an LDAP Object Authority Manager (OAM) configuration when a user tries to create an authority record with 'crt' authority for valid user/group, the command fails with unknown entity error and AMQ8871 error is reported. For example: set authrec profile('qname') objtype(queue) principal('CN=xxxx,OU=xxxx,OU=xxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=xxxx') authadd(crt) 1 : set authrec profile('qname') objtype(queue) principal('CN=xxxx,OU=xxxx,OU=xxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=xxxx') authadd(crt) AMQ8871E: Entity, principal or group not known.
Local fix
Use the setmqaut command instead of the SET AUTHREC MQSC or PCF command.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users using LDAP for authorization, who attempt to add an authority record with authority 'crt' using the SET AUTHREC runmqsc command or MQCMD_SET_AUTH_REC PCF command. Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In an LDAP setup when setting an authority record for a principal/group with 'crt' authority, a lookup for principal SID was incorrectly performed on the localhost by the queue manager's command server process. Since the user details are stored on the LDAP server, the search failed with unknown entity error.
Problem conclusion
The queue manager command server code has been modified to look for principal/group details on LDAP server as expected. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.11 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.7 v9.x CD T.B.C.
