WebSphere MQ security management

 

WebSphere MQ uses an in-storage table to hold information relating to each user and the access requests made by each user.

To manage this table efficiently and to reduce the number of requests made from WebSphere MQ to the external security manager (ESM), these controls are available:

• User ID reverification

• User ID timeouts

• Security refreshes

• Displaying security status

These controls are available through both the operations and control panels and WebSphere MQ commands.

The chapter also discusses the following subjects:

• Security installation tasks

• Auditing considerations

• Customizing security

• Security problem determination
