Changing the user name associated with WebSphere MQ Services

 

You might need to change the user name associated with WebSphere MQ Services from MUSR_MQADMIN to something else. (For example, you might need to do this if your queue manager is associated with DB2, which does not accept user names of more than 8 characters.)

To change the user name :

1. Create a new user account (for example NEW_NAME)

2. Use the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard to enter the account details of the new user account. Alternatively, use the following command line to set the new account:

   AMQMSRVN -user <domain\>NEW_NAME -password <password> 

   Where NEW_NAME is the new user name you have chosen. This can be qualified by a domain name if required. WebSphere MQ allocates the correct security rights and group membership to the new user account

If for any reason we need to reset the user account back to the default MUSR_MQADMIN account...

AMQMJPSE -r
