Let me describe a brief scenario here which i am facing now.

An application, with a userid UID under the group GID is sitting on a box named B1. It is trying to connect to the queue manager and access queues on box named B2. I just created the queue manager on B2 and when i try to set the authorities for that group, i get an error saying "Group is not valid". Then i checked the /etc/group file and i do not see that userid and group in there.

Is it a required condition that any group or userid (in this case UID and GID) must be defined on box B2 (in /etc/group file) so that i can set MQ authorities for him? Isn't it possible to set authorities without adding that user and group to the box (B2) (in /etc/group file) to access queues?

This is not a Message Broker question. It's a straight forward MQ configuration question. Please try harder to ask your questions in a relevant forum.

Yes, in order to issue a setmqaut command, then the principle (user or group) that you are attempting to authorize must exist in the security registry that the OAM is using.

On Unix, that registry is usually the local /etc/passwd and /etc/group. But it could be an LDAP registry somewhere else, or a kerberos registry, or a few other things.
