Security settings for MQ agent resources on z/OS

If security is enabled for your queue manager or queue sharing group, you must set up security for the Rational® Integration Tester MQ agent resources and give user IDs access to the Rational® Integration Tester intercept queue.

Note: As of version 9.2,0, Rational® Integration Tester uses queues that are named COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT_LCK, COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.<QMGR>_LCK, RIT.DIVERT.RULES_LCK, and RIT.DIVERT.RULES.<QMGR>_LCK. Rational® Integration Tester V9.2.0 attempts to create these queues automatically when they are first accessed. If you do not allow Rational® Integration Tester to create queues, then you must predefine these queues. The jobs within the RIT.PROC dataset contain sample statements for creating the required security profiles to allow Rational® Integration Tester to create the queues. The RITDEFN job contains commands for creating the queues manually, if you prefer to predefine them.

As of version 9.5.0, Rational® Integration Tester also requires these namelists, and queues be defined:

Namelists
- COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.INTERCEPT
- COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.DIVERT1
- COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.DIVERT2
Queue
- COM.GREENHAT.ALLOW.GENERIC.QNAMES

These resources are not created automatically by the MQ agent and must be created by the WebSphere® MQ administrator before starting the MQ agent. The RITDEFN job contains commands for creating these objects. RIT users need READ access to COM.GREENHAT.ALLOW.GENERIC.QNAMES in order to record transports, or to use wild cards in the names of queues to be recorded.

Security settings for a single queue manager

Use the following definitions for the security settings of the various classes when the queue manager is not part of a queue sharing group. Substitute MQPG with the name of the queue manager.

Security settings for a Queue Sharing Group

Use the following definitions for the security settings of the various classes when the queue manager is part of a queue sharing group. Substitute MQPG with either the name of the queue sharing group or the name of the queue manager depending on whether your site defines MQ security at the queue manager level or at the group level.

Note: Each queue manager must have permission to access each of the Rational® Integration Tester namelists and queues. For example, if the queue sharing group is made up of queue managers named QMGA, QMGB, and QMGC, Rational® Integration Tester uses the following namelists and queues:


Object Name	Object Type	QSGDISP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGA	Namelist	GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGB	Namelist	GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGC	Namelist	GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGA	Namelist	GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGB	Namelist	GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGC	Namelist	GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGA	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGB	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGC	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT_LCK	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGA_LCK	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGB_LCK	Queue	SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGC_LCK	Queue	SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGA_LCK	Queue	SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGB_LCK	Queue	SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGC_LCK	Queue	SHARED

Define the MQADMIN, MQNLIST, MQCMDS, and MQQUEUE profiles and accesses as listed in the following table to make them accessible from all the three queue managers:
