You can use the mqsisetdbparms command to specify
the security credentials used by a LoopBackRequest node to connect
to a secured data source.
About this task
You can associate a user name, password, client identity,
and client secret with connections to a secured LoopBack® connector. Alternatively, you can
specify the security credentials in the datasources.json file;
however, the data is stored in the file in plain text.
Procedure
Follow these steps to configure the security credentials
for connections to a LoopBack connector:
- Run the mqsisetdbparms command,
specifying the following parameters:
- -n loopback::securityIdentity
- The name of the security identity that is used to authenticate
a connection to a LoopBack connector,
where securityIdentity is the value of the Security
identity property in the LoopBackRequest node.
- -u userID
- The user ID for connecting to the LoopBack connector application.
- -p password
- The password for accessing the LoopBack connector
application.
- -c clientIdentity
- (Optional) The name of the client ID of the LoopBack connector application.
- -s clientSecret
- (Optional) The client secret of the LoopBack connector application.
For example:
mqsisetdbparms IBNODE -n loopback::lbreqid1 -u myLoopBackUserID -p myLoopBackPassword
- The specified credentials are passed to the LoopBack connector and are used to connect
to a data source.
What to do next
Create a message flow and add a LoopBackRequest node to enable
you to create, retrieve, update, or delete records through your LoopBack connector. For more
information, see Accessing and creating records by using the LoopBackRequest node.
