Add capability to set environment variables from K8s secrets from APIConnectCluster

It seems that the APIConnectCluster and AnalyticsCluster CRs do not support injecting environment variables from secrets. We can inject environment variables, just not from secrets. We are using logstash to offload analytics data. The endpoint tha...

Allow mqsilist to be used by accounts not in the mqbrkrs group

As of ACE 12.0.12.1, IBM ships ACE with the mqsilist file/program having permissions that allow 'world' to read mqsilist, but not to execute it. A user has to be a member of the mqbrkrs group to execute mqsilist. A Case with IBM confirmed this and...

MQ Should Automatically Rebuild XCF Entries!
