DEC-X500-AXP DXDAECO03031 DIGITAL X.500 Directory Service Alpha V3.1 ECO Summary
TITLE: DEC-X500-AXP DXDAECO03031 DIGITAL X.500 Directory Service Alpha V3.1 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.

Kit Applies to: DIGITAL X.500 Directory Service, V3.1
OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1-1H2
PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
Before you install the Digital[TM] X.500 Directory Service make sure
you have the following installed and working on your system:
o OpenVMS[TM] for Alpha V6.1, or later.
o DECnet[TM]/OSI[R] V6.2 for OpenVMS Alpha or later, including the
application option.
ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Digital X.500 Directory Service V3.1 on OpenVMS
Alpha V6.1 through 7.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in DXDAECO03031:
o This release fixes a problem on VMS that occasionally caused the
DSA to crash when releasing OSAK buffers after the time out period
had expired.
o In this release, file locking has been added to the DSA database
to stop possible corruption of the DSA database on UNIX Clusters.
Corruption of the database would occur when a DSA attempted to
access a database that was being used by another DSA.
When you create a DSA, it attempts to load the database. In this
release, if the database is currently locked by another DSA, the
NCL create dsa command returns an error message and the Create
Failure event is generated.
The new error message of the NCL create dsa command and the Create
Failure event are listed in the NCL on-line help for the DSA.
o In this release, the UNIX subset information display has been
changed to give the product version, for example:
DXDSRVR313 installed Digital X.500 Server for Digital UNIX
Version V3.1-13
o This release fixes a problem that prevented the NCL on-line help
for the Directory Module being updated when a new version of the
X.500 base was installed on a Digital UNIX system.
o This release fixes a problem on VMS that caused the DSA process
to exit when the DSA terminated with an error more than once.
o This release fixes a VMS problem that caused the DSA to corrupt
the VMS Nonpaged pool. This could result in the machine crashing.
This problem can also be fixed by installing DECnet/OSI V6.3 ECO 8
or DECnet-Plus V7.1 ECO 2.
o This release fixes a UNIX only problem with DXIM that causes the
following errors to occur when the LANG variable is set to "C":
Cannot open the message catalogue file dxim_dxd.cat
Cannot open the message catalogue file dxim_cli.cat
DXIM now uses the default English catalogues in /usr/lib/nls/msg if
the original open attempts fail.
o This release fixes a problem that caused the DSA to crash when a
constraint violation occurred during a MODIFY RDN operation.
o This release fixes a memory corruption problem that could occur
when converting the XDS object DS_C_CONTEXT from private to public.
The memory corruption occurs only when the DS_C_CONTEXT object does
not contain the DS_SIZE_LIMIT, DS_TIME_LIMIT and
DSX_ATTR_SIZE_LIMIT attributes.
Problems Addressed in DXDAECO02031:
o This release fixes a problem that could cause the DSA to crash when
chaining to another DSA. This problem only occured under a heavy
load.
o This release improves the way that a DSA or DUA selects the net-
work type of a presentation address, when the specified presenta-
tion address has NSAPs that do not include a network type. For ex-
ample, the following presentation address does not include a net-
work type, such as CLNS:
"DSA"/"DSA"/"DSA"/NS+49002AAA000400E9A821
In this case, the DSA or DUA assumes that the network type is CLNS.
Problems Addressed in DXDAECO01031:
o This release fixes a problem that caused the CDXIM client to fail
when displaying the supplierKnowledge attribute.
o This release includes several improvements to prevent the DSA hang-
ing on disable.
o This release fixes a problem with the DSA approximate matching
rules that could cause spurious matches to occur when you include
nonphonetic data in a search.
o This release improves DSA logging to help trace network buffers and
to provide more information to help solve problems with chaining.
o This release fixes a problem that prevented the DSA releasing idle
associations. The default setting of the Idle Disconnect Timer
characteristic attribute is now 300 seconds.
o The DSA will now use only X.500 protocols for replication. The pri-
vate DECshadow protocol used for replication in Version 1.0 has
been removed.
o This release fixes a DSA memory leak that occured when an authen-
ticated bind operation failed.
o This release fixes a DSA problem with the decoding of complex ASN.1
attribute values that have indefinite length encoding.
o The DSA has been fixed to allow you to search for the hasSubordi-
nate attribute.
o The release fixes a problem that caused the DSA InDaemon to fail
when an association was closed before a bind operation occured.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Refer to the V3.1 installation card for instructions on installing the
Directory Service on OpenVMS Alpha systems. The only change is that
when you run VMSINSTAL you need to specify DXDAECO03031 as the soft-
ware identifier.
