Am running WBIMB v5.0.2 in a Solaris 2.8 environment with Oracle 9i databases. Does anyone know (maybe an IBMer):- Where is the password for the broker database (as defined by the mqsicreatebroker command) and the passwords for user databases (as defined by the mqsisetdbparm command) stored?
- Are they encrypted?

I don't know whether WBIMB provides passwords for the Broker Databases.
BUT The best place you can get the password for the Broker database is to consult your DBA.

Hi,
take a look at the environment variable MQSI_REGISTRY of your broker.
It points to the directory where your DB config is stored.
I have no Unix System at hand, so i cannot name you the file name.
Under Windows the config is stored directly in the registry.
If you want to change the password, use the command mqsichangebroker.
Greetings

IamSam,
Thank-you for your reply, but that wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
When a message broker is created via the mqsicreatebroker command, a password is specified for the broker database (-p parameter or -a parameter if the -u parameter is not specified). I not looking to determine what my password is, I need to ascertain whether WMQIMB v5.0 meets the security requirements for protecting passwords set forth by my company, thus I need to know where the password is stored and if it is encrypted.
The same holds true for those passwords specified on the mqsisetdbparms command which is issued for all user databases access via a compute or database node. Again, I don't need to determine what the password is, just where its located (i.e. on a particular broker table, stored in a system broker queue, etc...). |

On AIX the passwords and userids are stored in:
/var/wmqi/registry/BrokerName
I imagine it will be similar for Solaris.
The passwords appear to be encrypted. |

Hi,
On Widnows check in Registry and on HP Unix /var/wmqi/registry/<BrokerName>/DSN
Thanks,
Chandra. |

Passwords are encrypted in the registry.
