Disabling administration security

Disable administration security to remove control over an integration node and its resources.

About this task

You can disable administrative security for an integration node by updating the relevant integration node property.

Procedure

  1. Stop the integration node by running the mqsistop command.
  2. Clear the security option for this integration node by running the mqsichangebroker command, specifying the parameter -s inactive.
    For example, to disable security for the integration node IBNODE, enter the following command:
    mqsichangebroker IBNODE -s inactive 
  3. Start the integration node by running the mqsistart command.

Results

When this command completes, all users are able to complete tasks against the integration node; for example, they can run the mqsichangeproperties command to change integration node properties. They can also complete all tasks against all integration servers that have been defined, and are defined in the future, on this integration node.

When you disable integration node administration security, the authorization queues that are associated with this integration node are retained. If you enable security again, these queues are reused, therefore you must ensure that the authorizations defined by these queues are correct.
