Hi. I just installed IIB 9.0.02 on Windows Server 2008 R2, 64 bit. I was trying to verify the installation by running the default configuration wizard from the toolkit. FWIW, the toolkit is installed on the same system as WMQ and IIB.
Many of the steps succeeded including creating the queue manager and the broker instance (i.e., node). However, after that, it tried to connect and I got a security error (2035). Interestingly, in the wizard's log, there was an error when it executed an ALTER QMGR command to disable the channel authorization; I executed the command manually from RUNMQSC but it didn't make a difference 
Everything looks fine when using WMQ Explorer.
Also, just a couple of weeks ago, I installed 9.0.0.2 on RHEL 6.5 and this worked fine. So, it seems like it's a problem with the Windows' version.
Any help is appreciated.

don't you have some scripts that will create a QMGR and broker that you can use?
Personally, I never create a default configuration. I do know of one site where the default config is used in Production (V6.1.0.0 plus it is not patched and they won't let anyone patch it or upgrade it) 
If this is a real show stopper for you then raise a PMR otherwise, create your own QMGR and Broker and test it with the Tooklit.

Yes, of course. I created them manually but still couldn't connect from toolkit.

Did you truly disable channel authority?
What is the output of
| Code: |
| display qmgr chlauth |

Okay, this is weird. I had to recreate the default configuration because I had deleted it earlier. I still get the connection error but I don't see the "ALTER" command in the output. I checked the QMgr and it does have channel auth disabled:
| Code: |
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\iibadmin>runmqsc IB9QMGR
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2014.
Starting MQSC for queue manager IB9QMGR.
display qmgr chlauth
1 : display qmgr chlauth
AMQ8408: Display Queue Manager details.
QMNAME(IB9QMGR) CHLAUTH(DISABLED)

I'll probably open a PMR with IBM but if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. |

Okay, thanks to help from a friend who's more knowledgeable about WMQ, I have found a workaround.
It turns out that WMQ 8.0 introduced a new queue manager security parameter, “CONNAUTH CHCKLOCL”, which is described at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.ibm.mq.mig.doc/q120080_.htm. Quoting from the Knowledge Center:
| Quote: |
| For a new WebSphere MQ Version 8.0 installation, the CONNAUTH CHCKLOCL attribute will be set to OPTIONAL. This means that user IDs and passwords are not required, but if they are provided they must be a valid pair, or they will be rejected. |
It looks like the IIB Toolkit is able to provide the user ID but not the password and so the check fails. The problem was isolated by looking at the “AMQERR01.LOG” error log file.
If you look at the settings for the connection authorization in WMQ Explorer, the “Check locally bound connections” is set to "Optional" and the “Check client connections” is set to "Required for administrators". For it to work, both must be set to "None". If you only set the first, “Check locally bound connections”, to “None”, the IIB Toolkit can connect but running the pager samples fails. For everything to work, you should also set “Check client connections” to “None”.
We believe that the correct solution would be for the IIB Toolkit to provide the correct credentials so we’re viewing this as a workaround. I will be updating the PMR that I wrote with IBM Support and asking them for definitive guidance.
FYI, a similar issue was discussed on the MQ forum at http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=377471&sid=e768575070badc268c75754e66cbc1e9.
BTW, does anyone know if you can include an image in a post? I was going to include a couple of screenshots but I couldn't figure out how to do it. |

you upload the image to a website. Than you tag the image's URL with Img tags...
