Morag,
The queue manager is on AIX 7.2. The queue manager itself is v9.1.4.
I am trying to connect using MQ Explorer v9.2.
When I login to that server, via ssh, and find the logs, there are no error messages at all, related to my connection attempts.
What I meant by all the local queue managers, I meant the queue managers that are in our datacenter, of which we have 2 on AIX 7.2. One is dev/qa, and I can connect to it. The second is a production queue manager and is the one I cannot connect to.
I tested to verify that something is not blocking me from connecting to the queue manager by using curl as below:
curl -v telnet://abc.wyx.com:1419
This connects up just fine. But MQ explorer still gives me the error about security when I try to connect to the queue managers.

Could you confirm something for me please? Your question suggests that the queue manager that you cannot connect to is local, you say "I can connect to all the local queue managers except for one", but then later you say that the target queue manager is on AIX.
Could you say the following about the problematic queue manager:-
- It's platform
- It's IBM MQ version
- Are you connecting using a client connection or is it local to your MQ Explorer
- What errors are shown in the queue manager AMQERR01.LOG when you attempt to connect your MQ Explorer to it? (The MQ Explorer can only report a very generic "security says no" type of message - all the details are kept at the queue manager).
Cheers,
Morag

I got a new pc from work this week, and I have installed all the tools, including MQ explorer (via the z/OS explorer install manager). I exported the mq explorer settings and imported them in the new environment.
I can connect to all the local queue managers except for one. When I try to connect to it, mq explorer is telling me "Access not permitted. You are not authorized to perform this operation (AMQ4036)"
I'm not using a different id to connect to it.
The only thing different is the level of mq explorer in z/os explorer. on the old pc it's 9.1.3.0 and on the new pc it's 9.2.1.0.
The target queue manager is on AIX and is at 9.1.4. Another AIX queue manager at the same version/release I am able to connect to.
Any ideas?
Peter
