[arthurbarr]

The container code assumes that the user for the container is always in group ID 0. It looks like you've set the UID to 200 and the GID to 200. You can set the UID to anything, but it must have GID 0. You can add GID 200 as a supplemental group, if that's what you need.

[akkigupta-88]

Thanks for your response @arthurbarr and apologies I missed to mention that we are deploying this in a EKS cluster which is managed by an internal team. As per our controls, using GID as 0 is not allowed due to security risks.
Is there any other workaround to fix this?

[arthurbarr]

MQ uses GID 0, because that's what's recommended by Red Hat when running in OpenShift Container Platform. See Does a containerized process running with a group ID of 0 present a security risk in case of a container runtime escape ?

If your controls do not allow it, then you will need to fork this sample and then you can use whatever permissions you want. MQ itself will simply assume that the internal mqm (admin) user is whichever user started the queue manager.

[akkigupta-88]

Somehow we got our internal team to enable GID 0 as this is just a POC work, but still the qmgr creation is stuck with same error:
