DCE-VMS DCEECO_015_1-V0100 DCE V1.5 for OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary
TITLE: DCE-VMS DCEECO_015_1-V0100 DCE V1.5 for OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary
Modification Date: 14-SEP-2000
Modification Type: New Kit
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant
file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DCE V1.5 on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V7.2-1.
This kit addresses the following problems:
o RPC authentication calls from NT DCE 2.2 clients fail with
Principal Unknown errors although the principal is listed in
the registry. The failures occur for principals and accounts
created from OpenVMS DCE.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$RGY_EDIT.EXE
o Upon reboot of the system, startup hangs when one of the DCE
CDS daemon processes fails to start. Examination of the .OUT
file shows the start fails with a messages stating the daemon
is already running.
Images Affected:
- [SYSEXE]DCE$CDSADV.EXE
- [SYSEXE]DCE$CDSD.EXE
- [SYSEXE]DCE$GDAD.EXE
o Directory of sys$manager or sys$scratch lists many
DCE_OUT*.tmp files.
Images Affected:
- [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
- [SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o When starting DCE on a system running Multinet, the following
DCL message is displayed.
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o Eliminate zero block files left in the credentials cache directory.
When a dce_login is performed, six files are created in the
credentials cache directory, DCE$SPECIFIC:[VAR.SECURITY.CREDS]. An
example is the following files:
16 029D9101.;2 1-OCT-1998 15:28:18.37
17 029D9101.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:17.76
18 029D9102.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.27
19 029D9200.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.02
20 029D9200.DATA;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.38
21 029D9200.NC;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.18
After a kdestroy, two files remain from the original login.
In the login example above, the following files are left:
16 029D9101.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:17.76
17 029D9102.;1 1-OCT-1998 15:28:19.27
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DCE login fails when the input for the password is not obtained
from a terminal. The login fails with the following error:
$ rgy_edit
Current site is: registry server at /.../the_cell/subsys/dce/sec/master
l princ_name
-dce-
login: Credentials cache I/O operation failed XXX Error in input
password. Login failed.
exit
bye
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Every one hour, the sec_clientd daemons delete stale credentials
files out of the DCE credentials cache directory. If run in
debug mode, the daemon deletes the files every five minutes. The
interval is not adjustable. Changes were made to make the interval
adjustable between 5 minutes and one hour. The interval cannot
be greater than 60 minutes or less than 5 minutes.
To set the interval, define the logical FCC_CCACHE_CLEANUP_INTERVAL,
to the number of minutes between cache cleanups. The logical may be
defined at the system level, or may be defined in the sec_clientd
startup command procedure. If the interval is changed while the
security client daemon is running, the new interval will be effective
after the next credentials cache cleanup.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$SEC_CLIENTD.EXE
o After the installation of Multinet 4.1 B-X, DCE will not
configure.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP_MULTINET.COM
o When a DCE server system failed or was shutdown, the security
client daemon on client systems would not fail over to replica
server systems. DCE applications running on the client
systems would be unable to refresh security credentials or
have tickets validated.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o When DEC C compiler version 6.2 is installed, compilation of
the IDL-generated C code may result in the following error(s)
being displayed. Some DCE images were updated to fix extern
model mismatches detected by the new C compiler.

INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation utility by
logging into the SYSTEM account. After the installation, DCE must be
stopped and restarted. On OpenVMS V7.2 and V7.2-1 systems, the DCE$RPCD
process must be stopped and restarted using SYS$MANAGER:DCE$RPC_SHTUDOWN.COM
and SYS$MANAGER:DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM.
Any/all of the following messages may be ignored if they are displayed
during the installation process:
%PCSI-I-OBJSKP, file [DCE$LIBRARY]RPCTYPES.H pertains to an option
