    Posted Wed December 04, 2024 04:20 AM

    Hello all! 

    How can change a user password when using Web Console ? I'm using this version, and don't find an option to change password 

    Thanks !

    Hello,
    It depends on the type of registry that has been configured.
    If you are using basic registry, you need to edit the mqwebuser.xml file, and look for the block :
        <basicRegistry id='basic' realm='defaultRealm'>
            <user name='mqadmin' password='{xor}M5ai+OI2MQ=='/>
            <user name='mqreader' password='mqreader'/>
            <group name='MQWebAdminGroup'>
               <member name='mqadmin'/>
            </group>
        </basicRegistry>
    The default passwords are 'mqadmin' and 'mqreader', and in plain text.
    You can change them, but it is highly recommended that you encrypt them with 'securityUtility'

    HTH, LMD

    I don't think that's possible. Perhaps an idea to submit to IBM?

    Can I ask, is this change dynamic, or will I need to restart the MQ Web Service to pick up the new password?

    thanks in advance,
