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.

PRODUCT:    ACMS Desktop V2.3 for OpenVMS VAX V7.1

OP/SYS:     OpenVMS VAX V7.1

SOURCE:     Digital Equipment Corporation

ECO INFORMATION:

     ECO Kit Name:  ACMSDI_V7103023
     ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit:  None
     ECO Kit Approximate Size:  574 Blocks
                    Saveset A - 567 Blocks

     Kit Applies To:  OpenVMS VAX V7.1
     System/Cluster Reboot Necessary:  No


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for ACMS Desktop V2.3 on OpenVMS VAX V7.1.  This
ECO addresses the following problems:


  o  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  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.

     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.
