The userID is being written into the MQMD incorrectly as null-padded by the queue manager. The MQMD userID field is expected to be space-padded.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Applications where the short username is sourced from an LDAP repository. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The queue manager was retrieving a shortname from the LDAP repository, and was adding this to the MQMD.UserIdentifier, padding to the right with null bytes. Instead it should have padded to the right with blanks (ie. byte 0x20 in ASCII code pages).
Problem conclusion
The MQ code has been corrected so that MQMD.UserIdentifer is padded to the right with blanks, not null bytes. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.1 CD 9.1.5 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.4 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
