Sounds like you haven't got the CA certificate that signed the remote queue manager's (QMV1) certificate in the local queue manager's (QMD2) key ring.
Do a RACDCERT ID(chinint-user-id) LISTRING(key-ring-name) from TSO and you should get something like this: Digital ring information for user MQ23USR: Ring: >MQ23RING< Certificate Label Name Cert Owner USAGE DEFAULT -------------------------------- ------------ -------- ------- ibmWebSphereMQMQ23 ID(MQ23USR) PERSONAL NO WebSphere MQ CA CERTAUTH CERTAUTH NO Check that you have the CA connected something like above.
