  ****************************************************************
  While building the MQIACF_QSG_DISPS parameter, CSQM1RMM does not
  correctly account for the AUTHINFO type, causing it to
  incorrectly set the disposition of each object to -1.
  
  The MQIACH_AUTH_INFO_TYPES (1622) parameter is missing from the
  product documentation.
  

Problem conclusion

• CSQM1RMM is updated to correctly account for the type of each
  AUTHINFO object examined when setting the disposition of the
  object in the MQIACF_QSG_DISPS list.
  
  The MQ V9 Knowledge Centre is updated to document the
  MQIACH_AUTH_INFO_TYPES parameter:
  
  MQIACH_* (Command format Integer Channel Types)
  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/
                             com.ibm.mq.ref.dev.doc/q091610_.html
  is updated as follows:
  The blank row between MQIACH_CONNECTION_AFFINITY and
  MQIACH_RESET_REQUESTED is replaced with a row containing values:
  "MQIACH_AUTH_INFO_TYPES , 1622, X'00000656'
  
  Inquire Authentication Information Object Names (Response)
  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/
                             com.ibm.mq.ref.adm.doc/q087300_.html
  is updated as follows:
  A new paragraph
  "
  Additionally, on z/OS® only, a parameter structure,
  AuthInfoTypes (with the same number of entries as the
  AuthInfoNames structure), is returned. Each entry in this
  structure indicates the type of the object with the
  corresponding entry in the AuthInfoNames structure.
  "
  is added.
  
  "AuthInfoTypes" is added to the list of 'Always Returned'
  parameters, for z/OS only
  
  "Response Data" is updated to include a description of
  AuthInfoTypes:
  "
  
  AuthInfoTypes (MQCFIL)
      List of authentication information object types
            (parameter identifier: MQIACH_AUTH_INFO_TYPES).
      Specifies the type of the object This parameter is returned
      on z/OS only. The value can be any of the following values:
  
      MQAIT_CRL_LDAP
      This defines this authentication information object as
      specifying an LDAP server containing Certificate Revocation
      Lists.
  
      MQAIT_OCSP
      This value defines this authentication information object as
      specifying certificate revocation checking using OCSP.
  
      MQAIT_IDPW_OS
      This value defines this authentication information object as
      specifying certificate revocation checking using user ID and
      password checking through the operating system.
