This document discusses IBM MQ CHLAUTH rules and how they were updated in MQ V8. CHLAUTH rules allow you to define which inbound connections are allowed or blocked based on attributes like IP address, hostname, SSL certificate details, client user ID, and remote queue manager name. The document provides examples of CHLAUTH rule configuration and discusses how hostnames are obtained and how rules can be restricted based on IP address/hostname. It also notes that fully qualifying rules with the issuer's DN in addition to the subject's DN is recommended to avoid clashes when multiple CAs are trusted.
