Enabling administration security

Enable administration security on an integration node or integration server, to control which users can complete specific tasks against that integration node or server and its resources.

About this task

If you do not enable administration security for an integration node, all users are able to complete all actions against the integration node and all its managed integration servers. If you do not enable administration security for an independent integration server (which is not managed by an integration node), all users are able to complete all actions against that integration server and its resources. If administration security is not enabled, web users can access the web user interface as the default user, with unrestricted access to data and resources.

You can enable administration security and specify the authorization mode for an integration node or integration server, either by setting the authorizationEnabled and authorizationMode properties in the node.conf.yaml or server.conf.yaml configuration files, or by using the mqsichangeauthmode command.
