Spring jms to Websphere MQ connection error

Question

AppConfig.xml settings:

<bean id="connectionFactory" class="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory">
<property name="hostName" value="abchost.com />
<property name="port" value="1414" />
<property name="queueManager" value="ABC_DEV" />
<property name="transportType" value="1" />

<jms:listener-container acknowledge="transacted">
    <jms:listener destination="abc.queue.abc"
            ref="someComplexServiceImpl"
            method="doSomething" />
</jms:listener-container>

<bean id="jmsTemplate" class="org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate">
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory" />
    <property name="defaultDestinationName" value="abc.queue.abc"/>
</bean>

I get the following errors:

Caused by: com.ibm.mq.MQException: JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2035' ('MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED').
[9/26/16 13:13:35:758 CST] 000000aa SystemErr     R     at com.ibm.msg.client.wmq.common.internal.Reason.createException(Reason.java:204)
[9/26/16 13:13:35:758 CST] 000000aa SystemErr     R     ... 98 more



Cause: JMSWMQ2013: The security authentication was not valid that was supplied for QueueManager 'ABC_DEV' with connection mode 'Client' and host name 'abchost.com(1414)'.; nested exception is com.ibm.mq.MQException: JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2035' ('MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED')

What I like to find out is, is there problem in the codes or in some setting in Websphere MQ we need to configure? I wanna make sure this is not a fault in the program before I raise the problem to our Websphere MQ administrator (who by the way is just new to Websphere MQ)

We are using:

Websphere MQ version 9
Spring JMS Version 4.2.4.RELEASE

I used MQ Client to connect to MQ, and I was able to connect (via command line):

C:\Users\me>set MQSERVER=CH.ABC_DEV/TCP/abchost.com(1414)

C:\Users\me>set MQSAMP_USER_ID=someuser

C:\Users\me>c:\IBM\MQ\Tools\c\Samples\Bin\amqsbcgc.exe abc.queue.abc ABC_DEV

Enter password: p@ssword



--connected!

but why cant the same user work when connecting through WAS?

My application was also not able to connect to MQ although I provided the correct credentials. Enabling the authentication compatibility mode solved the issue.

See also: IBM MQ Connection authentication

If you are using mq-jms-spring-boot-starter you can add this in application.properties: ibm.mq.userAuthenticationMQCP=false

Internally this will apply this to the connection factory: cf.setBooleanProperty(WMQConstants.USER_AUTHENTICATION_MQCSP, false);
