On Linux and UNIX systems, you must complete security tasks before you install WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker; these tasks are described in install.html.
Always refer to the file install.html for the latest information about installation tasks.
For an introduction to various aspects of security, see Security overview.
On Windows systems, you can define user IDs up to 12 characters long. On Linux and UNIX systems and on z/OS you are restricted to eight characters. If you have a mixed environment, ensure that your user IDs are not more than eight characters long.
Perform this task by considering the following steps:
When complete, go to Creating user IDs after installation.
The installation program does not create groups or user IDs. You can launch the Security Wizard from the installation program dialogs, or you can select install.html.
. If you prefer, you can create groups and users manually; the steps required are shown inIf you intend to install WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker in a domain environment, review these additional considerations:
Security control of WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker components, resources, and tasks depends on the definition of users and groups of users (principals) to the security subsystem of the operating system. You must create the groups and users required by WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker before you install the product. Refer to the install.html file for details of what to create, and how to complete the task.
Users must also have the appropriate authority to WebSphere MQ resources (queues and queue managers) and to the databases being used by the broker. Users on Linux and UNIX need appropriate authority to the WebSphere MQ resources on Linux or UNIX and to those on any remote queue managers (for example, the Configuration Manager on Windows). The Security requirements for Linux and UNIX platforms table provides a summary of authorizations in the Linux and UNIX environments.
When you are planning the administration of your broker configuration, consider defining user IDs for the following roles:
If you are running a Configuration Manager with one user ID and a broker with a different user ID on another system, you might see an error message when you deploy message flows and message sets to the broker. To avoid this, complete the following steps:
