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ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None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$SERVER account must
be an ACMS agent account as originally required.
o There is a problem if a version 2.0 or earlier SHOW_DESKTOP_USERS.EXE
is run against a V2.2 or V2.3 ACMS Desktop server. It will corrupt the
memory of the server process. There will not necessarily be an indication
of a problem at the time that the older show_desktop_users is run.
Some time later after additional system activity it will result in a
process crash. The symptom of the crash will vary depending upon the
state of the process when the corruption occurred.
Solution:
Additional checks have been added to the ACMS Desktop server to protect
its memory from the effect of a V2.0 or earlier show_desktop_users.exe.
If an older version of show_desktop_users is run against the ACMS Desktop
server with this ECO3 installed, the server will log a marshalling error
to the software event log. The server will ignore the request and the
older client show_desktop_users will fail to complete.
In order to obtain a show_desktop_users report, a version that matches
the version of the ACMS Desktop server should be used.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
For an OpenVMS VAX V7.1 installation of ACMS Desktop V2.3 ECO3
(ACMSDI_V7103023.A) please follow the following instructions:
While logged in to the priviledge account, set default to the SYS$UPDATE
directory:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
$
Use the following syntax to invoke VMSINSTAL:
@sys$update:vmsinstal ACMSDI_V7103 kit-dir: Options N
The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed. However, ACMS should be shutdown and restarted in order
