2063 (080F) (RC2063): MQRC_SECURITY_ERROR


Explanation

An MQCONN, MQCONNX, MQOPEN, MQSUB, MQPUT1, or MQCLOSE call was issued, but it failed because a security error occurred.

  • On z/OS®, there are two possible reasons for this:

    • An MQCONN or MQCONNX call was issued to connect to the queue manager using the BINDINGS transport, passing in a username or password, or both, that were longer than 8 characters.
    • The security error was returned by the External Security Manager.
  • If you are using Advanced Message Security, this could be a set up issue.
  • If you are using connection authentication with an LDAP server, this could be as a result of connectivity failure to the LDAP server, or an error from the LDAP server.


Completion code

MQCC_FAILED


Programmer response

Note the error from the security manager, and contact your system programmer or security administrator.

  • If you are using Advanced Message Security, you should check the queue manager error logs.
  • On z/OS, ensure that both the username and password specified, when connecting to the queue manager, have a maximum length of 8 characters.
  • On IBM® i, the FFST log will contain the error information.
  • If you are using LDAP, use DISPLAY QMSTATUS to check the status of the connection to the LDAP server, and check the queue manager error logs for any error messages.
