No problem, did the error message change after disabling the CHLAUTH? I think you also have to disable CONNAUTH. Here is Morag's excellent post about the subject:

Subject: MQ Explorer : Access not permitted AMQ4036 error
Hi Hermanni,
Thanks for the link, it suggests I should create a username of Windows machine on my Linux machine where IBM MQ is installed. Let's say I have a restriction of adding another user on IBM MQ Linux machine, is it possible if I could avoid that, I've tried ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH(DISABLED) but still not being able to add remote queue manager on MQ Explorer.

Hi Muhammad,
adding to Martin's post, this page also summarizes the needed steps quite well:

Subject: MQ Explorer : Access not permitted AMQ4036 error
MQ Explorer is giving the following error while trying to add a remote queue manager TEST on (IBM MQ 9.3.0.15) on RHEL 8:

I can telnet to port 1414 from the MQ Explorer to the IBM MQ machine & checked all firewall settings on source and target.
Performed the following on IBM MQ:
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Created Queue Manager
--------------------
crtmqm -q TEST
strmqm TEST
runmqsc TEST
Defined Listener
---------------
DEFINE LISTENER (LS1) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONTROL(QMGR) PORT(1414)
START LISTENER(LS1)
Defined Channel
--------------
DEFINE CHANNEL(CH1) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) MCAUSER('mqm')
START CHANNEL(CH1)
****************************************************************************************************************
This is a test environment and I'm trying to create other queue managers & manage all administrative task from MQ Explorer.
MQ Exporer is installed on host machine, whereas IBM MQ is installed on a guest vmware machine.
Appreciate any guidance.
