Compaq Read Before Installing or Using Digital DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha Version 1.5 AV-QMC5C-TE ________________________________________________________________ ________________Alpha_Systems_______________VAX_Systems_________ Kit Name DCEALP015 DCEVAX015 Old Product Digital DCE for OpenVMS Digital DCE for Alpha V1.3B OpenVMS VAX V1.4 New Product Digital DCE for OpenVMS Digital DCE for Alpha V1.5 OpenVMS VAX V1.5 Approximate 48,000 22,000 Block_Size______________________________________________________ Version 1.5 Description Version 1.5 of Digital DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha is a new release that replaces Digital DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha Version 1.4. Version 1.5 is a complete kit that does not require a previous version of Digital DCE for OpenVMS for installation. Version 1.5 can be installed in a new system or can be installed as an update to a previous version of DCE for OpenVMS. Refer to the Digital DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha Release Notes for information about this release. The following problems are fixed in Digital DCE for OpenVMS Version 1.5: o When the security server is not running, sec_login_refresh_ identity() returns an undocumented status code 336760967. The documentation states that the sec_rgy_server_unavailable status code should be returned. Example programs from OSF and other vendors show the refresh thread testing for the sec_rgy_server_unavailable status to determine if the refresh should be retried. o Executing an RPCLM command results in a fault invalid bound message on Alpha systems. $ RPCLM String Binding of Server:ncadg_ip_udp:16.32.80.42[2301] RPCLM> inq %CMA-F-EXCCOPLOS, exception raised; some information lost -DCERPC-E-FAULTINVALIDBOU, fault invalid bound (DCE / RPC) o In the directory DCE$SPECIFIC:[KRB5] there are hundreds of versions of KRB5KDC_RCACHE created by the DCE$SECD process. These files are cleaned up during a CLEAN operation, but they are not cleaned up during a start or restart of DCE. ©Compaq Computer Corporation. 1999.
