Configure the client security details for a queue manager set

The client security details and security exit can be defined for all the client-connected queue managers in a queue manager set.

Before starting

Before you set the security details for a queue manager set, queue manager sets must be visible, as described in: Display queue manager sets.

About this task

The security definitions are persisted in IBM MQ Explorer and are automatically included in Preferences in any import actions or export actions. The security details for each queue manager are persisted with the other connection details of the queue manager. The security details can be set for the All queue manager set as well as for user-defined queue manager sets.

To configure the security details for all existing queue managers in a queue manager set:

Procedure

Right-click the queue manager set we want to define the security details for.
Click Edit Security Settings... The Set Connection Details wizard opens, and we can set the security exit details, user ID and password details, TLS certificate store details, and enable the default TLS options. User ID and password details are also applicable to any local queue managers that are part of the set.
Select the security options that we want from each page of the wizard.
Select the queue managers that we want to apply the new security settings to. Click Finish to apply the changes and close the Set Connection Details dialog.

What to do next

The security details are configured for the selected queue manager set. All the queue managers that you selected in the queue manager set are configured with the new security details. The security configuration applies to all instances of the same queue managers in different queue manager sets.

The changes will not be applied until the next time the queue manager is connected.
