Alternative user ID to run an execution group

System: IBM Intergration Bus on Unix and Linux

In IBM Intergration Bus 8 and 9 on z/OS one can change the user ID under which an execution group runs.
We need this functionality in IBM Integration Bus on UNIX (AIX) and Linux (Red Hat) either.
By having different user IDs for different execution groups, one can control the access to resources (files, MQ queues etc) at the level of the execution group rather than at the level of the main broker user ID.

    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this idea has been in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. At such stage that this is prioritized from the business standpoint, the likely model we would follow is to give separate ids (for each server) membership of mqbrkrs. One consideration which would need to be overcome would be to make sure that each server has access to the UDS file in order for interprocess communication (between dataflowengine.exe and bipbroker.exe) to not be interrupted by the new model. We will continue to monitor the suggestion and currently maintain the status at Future Consideration.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Integration
    Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Connectivity and Integration
    Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB

    Completely agreed, and we would like to implement this on the distributed OS platforms. The engineering work required does vary from OS to OS, so to help with the prioritization, if anyone else needs this one please use this RFE to state the platform you require it, as a couple of folks have done already.

    Yes, this would resolve the issue whereby any flow deployed in any execution group can access any queue, because the broker id has mqm authority.

    Different execution groups should be limited to being able to access their own set of queues, based on group membership of a userid.

    This is a must have for distributed Windows, Linux, Unix (verses Z/os) please prioritize !

    Thanking you in advance.

    Please make sure you extend the functionality from zOS to distributed.

    This is an important requirement for us as a financial institution as well, we would prefer *not* to have one all-powerful broker instance connecting to multiple databases. It would be much nicer to be able to configure db access at the server level.
