OpenVMS VAXUAF01_070 VAX V6.1 - V7.0 AUTHORIZE/PROXY 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 AUTHORIZE.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V6.1 through V7.0.  
This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems Addressed in the VAXUAF01_070 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.2 and V7.0:

  o  A user, in AUTHORIZE, removes some users, and then waits at the UAF>
     prompt.  From another window, the user attempts to login into a
     different account.  The login will hang between the mail
     notification message and the execution of LOGIN.COM. 


Problems Addressed in the VAXSYS09_061 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.1:

  o  Currently, the AUTHORIZE utility translates all supplied node
     names to their fullname equivalents during the processing of
     proxy commands.  These fullnames are then used in the actual
     proxy system service calls.  However, AUTHORIZE does not set
     the appropriate flag on these calls to indicate that the node
     names have already been expanded.  Therefore, the proxy system
     services call the network again to convert the node names into
     their fullnames.  This causes performance degradation.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they should be
rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to make
use of the new image(s).
