Mapping credentials for a file server using the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
Map user credentials in IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer to user credentials on the file server by using the default credential mapping function of the protocol bridge agent. IBM MQ Managed File Transfer provides an XML file that you can edit to include your credential information.
About this task
The ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
must be manually created by the user. By default, the location of
this file is the home directory of the user who started the protocol
bridge agent, but this can be stored anywhere on the
file system accessible by the agent. To specify a different location,
add the <credentialsFile> element to the ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml file.
For example,
<tns:credentialsFile path="/example/path/to/ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml"/>
Before
you can use a protocol bridge agent, set up credential mapping by
editing this file to include host, user, and credential information.
For more information and samples, see Protocol bridge credentials file format.When
you create the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file
on a z/OS® platform using IBM MQ Managed File Transfer V7.5
or earlier, you must set a file tag before you edit the file.
Run the following command to mark the file as having ASCII contents:
chtag -t -c ISO8859-1 ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml
Note: On z/OS, you can store the protocol
bridge credential file on a dataset, where the name of the .xml file
can be specified by the user.
