Configuring administration security to use file-based, queue-based, or LDAP authorization
You can use the mqsichangeauthmode command to specify the mode of administration security to be used for setting administration permissions, and to enable or disable administration security for the integration node.
Before you begin
About this task
You can set permissions by using either file-based permissions or LDAP-based permissions, which you set by using the mqsichangefileauth command, or by using WebSphere® MQ authorization queues on the queue manager that is specified on the integration node. You use the mqsichangeauthmode command to specify which security mode will be used (queue-based, file-based, or LDAP), and to enable or disable administration security for the integration node. You can use the mqsireportauthmode command to see which security mode is currently in effect.
When you create an integration node, the default mode of administration security depends on whether a queue manager is specified on the integration node. If a queue manager has been specified, administration security for the integration node is based on WebSphere MQ queues by default (MQ mode), and the required queues used for setting authorisation are created automatically when the integration node is created. If you create an integration node without specifying an associated queue manager, file-based administration security is used by default (file mode).
Use the mqsichangeauthmode command to select either the queue-based, file-based, or LDAP mode of administration authority for a specified integration node.
