Fix Recommendation

The IAO will ensure that all Switch Profiles do not have the resource ssid.NO defined to the MQADMIN resource class with the exception of ssid.NO.CMD.RESC.CHECKS.

ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier).

Ensure that all of the following switches specify ON.

SUBSYSTEM

Example:

$KEY(ssid) TYPE(MQA)
ALTERNATE.USER.- UID(*) PREVENT
CONTEXT.- UID(*) PREVENT
RESLEVEL UID(*) PREVENT
- UID(*) PREVENT

NOTE: At the discretion of the IAO, COMMAND RESOURCE Security switch may specify OFF, by defining ssid.NO.CMD.RESC.CHECKS in the TYPE(MQA).

Example:
