Question

I’m setting up a solution to deploy, driven by a batch file so it’s reproducible – I’ve got a binding file that works but I’ve now added on my MSMQ adapters – works on my local machine, but I’ve found I have to add a userid and password to get it to work on the actual server – it’s in the domain, my virtual dev machine is just workgroup

Is there someway to add the userid and password to the file ? – seems unlikely as that’d have the password in clear text, but what’s the solution – I sort of think something w.r.t. SSO, but that is an area I’ve not been near

Answer 1

You can put the userid and password into any BizTalk binding that supports authentication, including MSMQ. For security, the password is not exported, you just get a mask.

The userName and password sections of the binding file are not exported unless they have been configured, so the simplest thing to do is configure a MSMQ send port with userName and password manually and export the bindings – this forces the elements containing userName and the masked password to be generated into the binding file.

What you are looking for in your binding file is the <TransportTypeData> element of your MSMQ send port. This contains all of your adapter config information as encoded data.

Within that element there is a userName and password section. The password will be masked out with asterisks. Put the password for the environment there and import the binding.

The part of the encoded data with username and password will look something like below:

&amp;lt;userName&amp;gt;YourUserName&amp;lt;/userName& amp;gt;&amp;lt;password&amp;gt;******&amp;lt;/password&amp;gt;
