I've made a simple websphere client in the past, to connect to our client's websphere mq server - it works.
Now, I want to use it to play around and test my own webspehere mq server (trial edition). I've downloaded the 8.0.0.4 websphere MQ server for windows, installed it,but now I have issues connecting to it. I've tried a couple of things, manually configuring everything according to some online tutorial but then i tried a simpler approach, uninstalled everything and reinstalled again, and used websphere's default configuration tool.
It went smooth, I could use the postcard application quick and easy. However, now I'm trying to access it via my own client (c#, using the IBM client libraries). It appears I can connect to the listener. By default, there are two channels created in MQ. S_SomeName and TO_QM_SomeName. If I connect to S_SomeName, I get error "2035 MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED" - which seems a good indication that everything is working, as that is some server connection, and it uses admin user, which is by default blocked from accessing it as a client. (that's how i understand that. I'm quite new to this).
So I went to try the TO_QM_SomeName hoping it would give me access to any of the queues made by default or made by me. But now, I get error "2059 MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE" or "2539 MQRC_CHANNEL_CONFIG_ERROR" - i've been playing with library versions/server settings, don't remember on which one i got which error. Well...I'm kind of lost now. I cannot find any settings for enabling some user permissions or anything to make it work. What am I missing? What steps are necessary to make the default configuration work also for clients connecting from localhost/somewhere on the network?
