Checking the security credentials that are used by an integration node

To check what security credentials are set on an integration node that is connected to a remote system or database, use the mqsireportdbparms command.

If you have an integration node that accesses external resources, you can check what security credentials are set if a security identity was created for the integration node. For more information, see Security identities for integration nodes connecting to external systems. If security credentials are not set, then no results are returned.

You can also check whether a password is valid for a set of security credentials. You might want to check a password if you recently updated a password while the integration node was running, to see if the new password is effective.

To review the security credentials that are set for an integration node, complete the following steps.

Run the mqsireportdbparms command. A list of integration nodes that have parameters that are set is returned. You can then see whether user IDs are assigned to the associated security profile for each of the results.

In the previous step, you can identify which integration nodes have security profiles. If you want to check that you have a valid password for a specific user ID:

Run the mqsireportdbparms command with the name of the integration node that you want to check in the following format:
```
mqsireportdbparms -n dsn::xxxx -p yyyy
```
Where xxxx represents the user ID, and yyyy represents the password that you want to check is valid for the integration node.

A result is returned that confirms whether the password that was provided is correct, or if it was incorrect.

Additionally, the command returns if the integration node was restarted after a password change, so that you know what password is valid for the integration node while it is running.
