Enabling a User Name Server

If you require a User Name Server as a component of your broker domain, you must create the necessary connections between the broker, Configuration Manager, and User Name Server, so that they can communicate effectively.

Specify additional parameters on the mqsicreatebroker and mqsicreateconfigmgr commands, before you create the User Name Server. The following steps show you how to do this.

  1. Create a broker with the additional -s and -j parameters on the mqsicreatebroker command. These parameters allow the broker to communicate with the WebSphere MQ queue manager for the User Name Server, and also enable the broker for publish/subscribe access control.

    If you have created the broker without these parameters, modify the broker, defining the -s and -j parameters. Refer to Modifying a broker.

  2. Create a Configuration Manager with the additional -s parameter on the mqsicreateconfigmgr command. This parameter allows the Configuration Manager to communicate with the WebSphere MQ queue manager for the User Name Server.

    If you have created the Configuration Manager without this parameter, modify the Configuration Manager, defining the -s parameter. Refer to Modifying a Configuration Manager.

Now that you have made the required changes to the broker and Configuration Manager, you can create the User Name Server, and thus enable publish/subscribe services.
