The MQ Appliance messaging server must use an enterprise user management system to uniquely identify and authenticate users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, application server users must be uniquely identified and authenticated. This is typically accomplished via the use of a user store which is either local (OS-based) or centralized (LDAP) in nature. To ensure support to the enterprise, the authentication must utilize an enterprise solution. Review IBM product documentation for the LDAP fields required when setting up a communication link with the LDAP server. See https://ibm.biz/BdsRRk for a detailed description of these options.
