Configuring user authentication with local users by using the web UI

Configure the appliance to authenticate the local users defined on the appliance.

About this task

You can use the IBM® MQ Appliance web UI to configure role based management such that the appliance uses local definitions. You define the local users in a separate procedure, see Configuring local users by using the web UI.

Procedure

  1. Start the IBM MQ Appliance web UI and click the Administration icon shows the administration icon.
  2. Select Access > RBM Settings
  3. Ensure that Administrative state is On (it is selected by default) and click the Authentication tab to view the authentication options.
  4. Select an Authentication method of Local user.
  5. Optionally, change the default cache settings. Cache settings determine how long user details are valid before authentication is performed again. By default, the appliance retains details for an absolute period of 600 seconds. You can change the cache mode or the cache lifetime, or both. You can also disable caching altogether.
  6. Click Apply to apply your changes.

What to do next

After you specify the user authentication method, you must next configure credential mapping.
