User States

When you add a user to a repository, the user’s state is active by default. To make the user inactive, you must use the update command. For example, the following command makes the user JoeD inactive:

imqusermgr update -u JoeD -a false

Entries for users that have been rendered inactive are retained in the repository; however, inactive users cannot open new connections. If a user is inactive and you add another user who has the same name, the operation will fail. You must delete the inactive user entry or change the new user’s name or use a different name for the new user. This prevents you from adding duplicate user names.
