Connecting to an independent integration server from the Toolkit by specifying a userid and password

Connect to an independent integration server from the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit by specifying a userid and password.

Before you begin

Create an independent integration server by running the IntegrationServer command as described in IntegrationServer command, or by using a wizard in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, as described in Creating, starting, and stopping a local, independent integration server by using the Toolkit.

About this task

You can configure an independent integration server to require a userid and password to be specified when a user tries to connect to it from the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.

Procedure

Configure the independent integration server with a userid and password by completing the following steps:

Stop the independent integration server by stopping its IntegrationServer process as described in Stopping an integration server.
Enable authentication on the independent integration server by running the mqsichangeauthmode command.
For example, if the work directory for your independent integration server is myWorkDir, you can run the following command:
```
mqsichangeauthmode -w myWorkDir -b active
```
For more information, see mqsichangeauthmode command.
Create a web user account and password for an independent integration server by running the mqsiwebuseradmin command.
For example, if the work directory for your independent integration server is myWorkDir, you can run the following command to create the web user Admin with the password Passw0rd!:
```
mqsiwebuseradmin -w myWorkDir -c -u Admin -a Passw0rd!
```
For more information, see mqsiwebuseradmin command.
Start the independent integration server by running the IntegrationServer command.
For example, if the work directory for your independent integration server is myWorkDir, you can run the following command:
```
IntegrationServer --work-dir myWorkDir 
```
For more information, see IntegrationServer command.
