Enhance mqsisetdbparms for credentials for user-defined applications

Enhance mqsisetdbparms so that the user could store, in obfuscated form, credentials (userid/passwd) for a user-defined application (e.g. IIB must call an external script, and that script requires that credentials be passed to it). I think this new capability would require that the retrieved userid and password be placed in well-known message tree locations dynamically at runtime.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement suggestion and apologies it has been in Submitted status for so long. Since initially raised, this area of the product has been significantly enhanced - we now have in ACEv11 the ability to define credentials which are encrypted in the new vault feature. As part of this interface we also have new credential types. In future we would like to provide access to the user-defined type through API for use by a message flow developer. We therefore approve of this enhancement suggestion. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
