About this task

Administration authority can be controlled by using IBM® MQ queues that are owned by a queue manager specified on the integration node, or by file-based permissions that are set using the mqsichangefileauth command, or by LDAP authorization that is set by editing the security properties in the node.conf.yaml or server.conf.yamlconfiguration file. You can use the mqsireportauthmode command to display the administration security status and authorization mode that are currently in effect for the integration node or server.

Procedure

  1. Run the mqsireportauthmode command to display the current administration security status and authorization mode.
    For example, display the current settings for an integration node called ACE11NODE:
    mqsireportauthmode ACE11NODE
    Alternatively, display the current administration security settings for an independent integration server, whose work path is specified by the -w parameter:
    mqsireportauthmode -w myIntegrationServerWorkpath
  2. The output from the command shows whether administration security is active or inactive, and whether the current authorization mode is file (file-based), mq (queue-based), or ldap (LDAP authorization).
