MQ Visual Edit V2 – Prompt for Password

A customer emailed me the other day saying that their security policy does not allow applications to store passwords (even in encrypted format) on their local PCs. Their security policy states that the user must be prompted for his/her password (like MQ Explorer).

I thought this was a good idea, so I have made a small update to MQ Visual Edit V2.1.0. I added a ‘Prompt for Password’ checkbox on the UserID panel of the Queue Manager Access Profile window. Note: The password field is grayed out when ‘Prompt for Password’ checkbox is selected.

For a connection request to a remote queue manager, when the checkbox is selected, the user will be presented with a popup window requesting the user’s credentials.

This feature will be in the next release of MQ Visual Edit V2. If you would like try it out now then send an email to support@capitalware.com
