During this task you consider the factors for deciding which users can take actions within the workbench.
Consider the following:
Ensure that the IDs of the users who will run the workbench are not more than eight characters long.
It is recommended that you run with domain awareness enabled. With this option, the domain information for a workbench user is flowed with the userid to the Configuration Manager for increased security. Assume that you are running the Configuration Manager on a computer named WKSTN1, which is a member of a domain named DOMAIN1. Users from DOMAIN2 also want to use the workbench. Perform the following steps:
When you start the workbench, it automatically sends the domain information for your user ID to the Configuration Manager. Enable domain awareness in the Configuration Manager to access domain information.
You can set domain awareness to disabled, but running with this option means that the domain information for the workbench user is not flowed with the userid information, thus reducing security. It is therefore recommended that you run with domain awareness enabled.
You can use the -a option on the mqsicreateaclentry command to allow a user to be verified without considering the domain.
To set domain awareness to disabled, answer the following questions:
For additional security, run with both domain awareness and security exits enabled. For more information about security exits, refer to Security exits.
Turning off the toolkit domain awareness
The toolkit sends the user and domain name to the Configuration Manager queue manager, regardless of the domain awareness setting on the Configuration Manager. This can cause problems connecting to the queue manager because of the security required to connect, put or get messages.
