I'm attempting to run X11 from an AIX server back to my Windows laptop running XMing. I am not allowed to use the -ac param in XMing to bypass the Access Controls. If I use -ac, the X11 prompt works as expected on AIX, but when I enable access controls by removing the -ac param, everything quits working.
I made this work in Linux pretty easily. I set the SSH Terminal Properties for X11 forwarding to Enable = Yes, X Display Location to blank, Protocol to MIT-Magic-Cookie-1, and X Authority File to blank. Upon connection, RDM populates the $DISPLAY variable on the Linux box, and the connection is subsequently successful with Access Controls in place.
I have not yet found any combination of settings that can have the same success on AIX. If anyone has a process that can create logs that might help or anything, I would appreciate.

$ export DISPLAY=10.1.1.1:0.0
$ xclock
