DEC-X500-AXP DXDAE01030 Digital X.500 Directory Service AXP V3.0 ECO Summary
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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Digital X.500 Directory Service v3.0 on OpenVMS AXP
V6.1 through 7.0. This kit addresses the following problems:
o A problem that could cause a DSA to exit when attempting to
generate a Distributed Operation Failure event has been fixed.
o A problem encoding network addresses has been fixed.
In previous versions, there was a problem encoding TCP/IP
network addresses that had a 0 as their second element. For
example, the following network address would be incorrectly
encoded: 1.0.16.16.
o A problem encoding attribute keywords in distinguished names
has been fixed.
In V3.0, a distinguished name such as /dec-mts-routing-domain=ACME
would be incorrectly encoded because the keyword dec-mts-routing-domain
contains hyphen characters.
o A problem with DXIM's encoding of the identification labels of
access control items has been fixed.
The labels can now be encoded as either printable or T.61
strings, and labels that contain characters that are not in
those character sets are rejected.
If you use MODIFY ENTRY command to try to refer to existing,
invalid values of a prescriptiveACI attribute, the command
returns an error. Use the SET ENTRY command instead. The SET
ENTRY command enables you to specify the intended state of a
value without having to specify the existing state. You could
also use a MODIFY ENTRY command with a REMOVE ATTRIBUTE clause
to completely remove the prescriptiveACI attribute without
having to specify the existing values.
If you use the access control template, as recommended in the
documentation, you are using a SET ENTRY command, so the errors
never arise.
o The DSA's syntax checking of access control items has been im-
proved. In previous versions, the DSA accepted access controls
with slightly invalid syntax.
o The DSA thread monitor has been fixed to handle all exceptions
that can be raised during thread creation.
o The DSA Information Tree Schema Incompatible error, which can
arise when you create a DSA, has been extended to cover a
schema problem that previously caused a DSA Information Tree
Corrupt error.
If the schema does not define a class of entry that is present
in the DSA, this is now reported as an incompatibility.
o A memory handling problem with the DXIM SET ENTRY command has
been fixed.
o This kit fixes an access control problem that could occur if
you modified access controls on a Digital UNIX system.
o This kit includes access control diagnostics for use by Digital
support.
