User Manager Utility

The User Manager utility (imqusermgr) is used for populating or editing a flat-file user repository. The utility must be run on the same host where the broker is installed; if a broker-specific user repository does not yet exist, you must first start up the corresponding broker instance in order to create it. You will also need the appropriate permissions to write to the repository: on the Solaris or Linux platforms, this means you must be either the root user or the user who originally created the broker instance.

Table 13–15 lists the subcommands available with the imqusermgr command. In all cases, the -i option specifies the instance name of the broker to whose user repository the command applies; if not specified, the default name imqbroker is assumed.
