ACMS ACMSDI_A7103023 ACMS V2.3/OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 ECO Summary

************************ NOTE ************************* * * * Engineering is currently researching a problem with * * this ECO and requested that it be placed on * * engineering hold. * * * ******************************************************* NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1997. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: ACMS Desktop V2.3 for OpenVMS OP/SYS: OpenVMS Alpha SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ACMSDI_A7103023 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1008 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: N/A NOTE: In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit, the following remedial kits also need to be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for ACMS Desktop V2.3 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1. This kit addresses the following problems: ACMS Desktop V2.3 ECO3 fixes the following problem: o Problem 1 This ECO fixes a problem with VMS authentication on OpenVMS V7.1. Clients were unable to sign in to ACMS unless they were ACMS agent accounts. This behavior occurred as result of the ACMSDI$SERVER detached process's username switching during signin. This behavior has been resolved with a customized authentication library. Solution: As a result of using the revised library the ACMSDI$SERVER account must contain SECURITY privilege. Client accounts will not be required to be ACMS agent accounts, however the ACMSDI$SERVER account must be an ACMS agent account as originally required. o Problem 2 There is a problem if a version 2.0 or earlier SHOW_DESKTOP_USERS.EXE is run against a V2.2 or V2.3 ACMS Desktop server. It will corrupt the memory of the server process. There will not necessarily be an indication of a problem at the time that the older show_desktop_users is run. Some time later after additional system activity it will result in a process crash. The symptom of the crash will vary depending upon the state of the process when the corruption occurred. o Solution Additional checks have been added to the ACMS Desktop server to protect its memory from the effect of a V2.0 or earlier show_desktop_users.exe. If an older version of show_desktop_users is run against the ACMS Desktop server with this ECO3 installed, the server will log a marshalling error to the software event log. The server will ignore the request and the older client show_desktop_users will fail to complete. In order to obtain a show_desktop_users report, a version that matches the version of the ACMS Desktop server should be used. INSTALLATION NOTES: For an OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 installation of ACMS Desktop V2.3 ECO3 (ACMSDI_A7103023.A), please follow these instructions: While logged into a privileged account, set default to the SYS$UPDATE directory: $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE Use the following syntax to invoke VMSINSTAL:
