Creating an Access Control Properties File (Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Administration Guide)

Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Administration Guide

Creating an Access Control Properties File

The ACL file is instance specific. Each time you start a broker instance, a default file named accesscontrol.properties is created in the instance directory. The path to the file has the following format (see Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue^TM Data):

…/instances/brokerInstanceName/etc/accesscontrol.properties

The ACL file is formatted like a Java properties file. It starts by defining the version of the file and then specifies access control rules in three sections:

Connection access control
Physical destination access control
Physical destination auto-create access control

The version property defines the version of the ACL properties file; you may not change this entry.

version=JMQFileAccessControlModel/100

The three sections of the ACL file that specify access control are described below, following a description of the basic syntax of access rules and an explanation of how permissions are calculated.
