Windows/Unix Authentication

I wonder if someone could help. Currently when an Windows MQ series client connects to the MQ server on Unix we require that the account exists on both machines. We now have a problem were a Unix restriction prevents user names from being more than 8 characters. However our NT account is 10

Rao, Changing to use RQSTR channels seem perfectly reasonable to me. If you do this, you might want to consider changing your sender channels to servers. A requester channel connecting to a sender will cause the sender end to break the communications and re-connect back to the requester (ie.

Rao, I have one more point to add to Paul's. If you do NOT specify the CONNAME on the SERVER channel, there's no MQ mechanism to automatically start the Requester channel to induce the SERVER channel. Therefore, you will need to devise your own method to keep the channel running. Phil

Henry, I'm not familiar with Solaris, but on our HPUX boxes we built a wait loop into the script that will look for MQ to come up before any subsequent commands are attempted. From your 2059 I'd bet that the queue manager is still in the process of activating when you attempt the RUNMQSC.

I don't see the point of dedicating svrconn's to a specific number of clients. Dedicating a svrconn a specific MCAUSER and sharing it among many clients is a different story. Seems you would only need one MCAUSER+srvrconn for each authority level. But to gain a semblence of security from either
