Messaging user and group commands

Appliance administrative users use these commands to set up user IDs and groups for messaging users.

These commands must be run from the WebSphere MQ administration mode. If the system is in the WebSphere MQ administration mode the prompt includes mq. To enter the WebSphere MQ administration mode, enter mqcli on the command line. To exit the WebSphere MQ administration mode, enter exit on the command line.

The appliance reserves the following user IDs for its own use:
  • hacluster
  • mqm
  • mqsystem
  • root
  • sshd
You cannot create user IDs with these names, or delete, modify, or list these user IDs.
The appliance reserves the following groups for its own use:
  • haclient
  • root
  • sshd
  • utmp

You cannot create groups with these names, or delete or list these groups.

The appliance also provides the standard IBM® MQ mqm group. You cannot delete this group, but you can add users to it.
