Security on Windows systems

Set up the required security on Windows systems before you install WebSphere® Message Broker.

Before you install the Broker component, the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, or the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, log on with a user ID that has Administrator authority.

If you are installing the Broker component, the installation wizard calls the mqsisetsecurity command which completes the following tasks:

  • Creates a new security group called mqbrkrs.
  • Adds your current (logged on) user ID to the group mqbrkrs.
  • Adds your current user ID to the group mqm, if that group exists.

    The mqm group exists if you have already installed WebSphere MQ on this system. If you have not, call the mqsisetsecurity command when you have completed WebSphere MQ installation. If you use the Windows Launchpad (described in Installing by using the Windows Launchpad), it completes WebSphere MQ installation first.

If you prefer to create principals before you install WebSphere Message Broker, use the security facilities provided by the Windows Control Panel.

If you are running Terminal Services on this computer, change user mode to ensure that actions taken during installation are completed correctly; for example, the creation of .ini files and other related files in the default system directory C:\Windows. If you do not change user mode, files might be written to other locations and, although the installation might complete successfully, the product might not work as expected.

  • Before you install any product components, enter the following command to change user mode:
    change user /install
  • When installation is complete, enter the following command to restore the original user mode:
    change user /execute

To complete verification, your user ID must have Administrator authority. If you log in with a different user ID from the ID with which you perform installation, you must add that user ID to the groups mqbrkrs and mqm. Use either the Windows security facilities or the mqsisetsecurity command (run this command after you have logged on with that different ID) to complete these additions.
