Mapping credentials for a file server by using the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
Map user credentials in Managed File Transfer to user credentials on the file server by using the default credential mapping function of the protocol bridge agent. Managed File Transfer provides an XML file that you can edit to include your credential information.
About this task
The ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
must be manually created by the user. By default, the location of
this file is the home directory of the user who started the protocol
bridge agent, but this can be stored anywhere on the
file system accessible by the agent. To specify a different location,
add the <credentialsFile> element to the ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml file.
For example,
<tns:credentialsFile path="/example/path/to/ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml"/>
Before
you can use a protocol bridge agent, set up credential mapping by
editing this file to include host, user, and credential information.
For more information and samples, see Protocol bridge
credentials file format.When you create the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file on a
z/OS® platform using IBM® WebSphere® MQ 7.5 or earlier, you must set a file tag before you
edit the file. Run the following command to mark the file as having ASCII contents:
chtag -t -c ISO8859-1 ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml
Note: On z/OS, you can store the protocol
bridge credential file on a data set, where the name of the .xml file can be
specified by the user.
