Connecting the User Name Server to the WebSphere Message Broker network

This is part of the larger task of creating a User Name Server.

Before you start

On z/OS, to complete this task, you must have completed the following task:
To enable communication between all the components, define and start WebSphere MQ channels between the following components:
  • Configuration Manager, queue manager and the User Name Server queue manager.
  • Configuration Manager and the broker queue manager.
  • User Name Server queue manager and the broker queue managers.
  • All brokers used in publish/subscribe.

You connect a User Name Server to another component in the same way as you connect the Configuration Manager to another component. This task is described in detail in Connecting components.

The Configuration Manager requests user IDs and group information from the User Name Server. The WebSphere Message Broker administrator defines Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the workbench. These ACLs are sent to each broker using WebSphere MQ channels following a deploy.

For further details of connecting your User Name Server to a broker and enabling Publish/Subscribe, refer to Configuring Publish/Subscribe security.
