ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DCE V3.0 on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2,V7.1-2,
V7.2-1,V7.2-1H1,V7.2-2,V7.3,V7.3-1. This kit addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN DCEECO_030_2 KIT
o When a large number of ACMSxp Processing servers are stopped
and re-started several times in a loop, DCE goes into a hang
state.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]DCE$DCED.EXE
o On cancellation of an RPC-call, the BG devices (Sockets)that
were allocated are not released. Several such RPC call
cancellations can result in a pileup of BG devices leading to a
resource leak.
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Memory leak is encountered in DCE/RPC when DCOM is functional
in unauthenticated mode.
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o The DCE$DCED process terminates with the following error under
load:
(socket) rpc_socket_disp_select *** FATAL ERROR at SOCKDISPATCH.C;1\3755 ***
%CMA-F-EXCCOP, exception raised; VMS condition code follows
SYSTEM-F-OPCCUS,opcode reserved to customer fault at PC=00000000007043A8,
PS=0 000001B
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$SOCKSHR_IP.EXE
o The login context specific to application processes expires
immediately after starting ACMSxp TP system. The TP System
makes use of credentials obtained after a dce_login with
"acmsxp_svr" as the principal name.
Klist fails with the following error:
No DCE identity available: No currently established network
identity for which context exists (dce / sec)
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o The DCE$DCED process aborts with SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO when a command
procedure containing dce_login and ACMSxp commands is executed
in an infinite loop.
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DCE V3.0 RPC Only configuration fails on systems with TCPWARE
as the IP product. The configuration program terminates
abnormally.
Images Affected:[SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o There was a case where a NULL pointer check was not being made
in RPC Runtime code. The new image takes care of this problem.
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DCE Client configuration fails in certain cell configurations
running HP UNIX DCE Servers. Client Configuration aborts with
the following error message:
Attempting to locate security server
*** Error: can't locate security server (exiting)
>>> getcellinfo: can't obtain handle to security server
Entry not found (dce / rpc)
Images Affected:[SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o DCE startup fails after a system reboot. The startup procedure
fails while starting the CDS Name Service Advertiser daemon.
DCE$SETUP reports the following error message
"Error Starting CDSADVER"
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]DCE$CDSADVER.EXE
[SYSEXE]DCE$CDSD.EXE
[SYSEXE]DCE$GDAD.EXE
o Configuration Verification Procedure (CVP) on 3.0 fails
intermittently with the following error.
%CMA-F-EXCCOPLOS, exception raised; some information lost
-DCERPC-F-COMMFAILURE, communications failure (dce / rpc)
DCE for OpenVMS Alpha V3.0 CVP failed.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]DCE$DCESX.EXE
o On completion of a CVP run, user was prompted twice to Hit the
Return Key for displaying the SETUP menu.
Eg:
Press <RETURN> to continue . . .
Press <RETURN> to continue . . .
DCE$SETUP now displays the SETUP Menu with the first Carriage
Return itself.
Images Affected:[SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o While configuring LDAP Clients into a LDAP Server Cell, the
DCE$SETUP program does not report the 'password validation
failure' message when there is a password mismatch. The user
is now informed of the password mismatch and prompted again for
the right entry.
Images Affected:[SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o DCE Online Help was not properly structured. Having all the
Help topics at the top level of Help clutters up the DCL Help.
New DCE DCL Help Library fixes the problem.
Images Affected:[SYSHLP]DCEDCL.HLP
o When a call to rpc_binding_from_string_binding fails, the
subsequent calls to this function hang forever. New RPC
Runtime library fixes the bug in
"rpc_binding_from_string_binding".
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o When running DCOM applications between Windows 2000 and VMS
systems, several RPC_CN_CREATE_AUTH_INFO messages are logged
into the DCOM$RPCSS.OUT file leading to exhaustion in disk
space. This problem has now been resolved in the new image.
User will need to define a logical "DCE_DISABLE_LOGGING" to 1
either system or process wide for disabling the error messages.
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC DCE_DISABLE_LOGGING 1
or
$ DEFINE DCE_DISABLE_LOGGING 1
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Failure to detect or ping an active Windows 2000 Client while
running Authenticated DCOM between a Windows 2000 and Open VMS
System would cause the DCOM Server applications to timeout and
run down after a period of about 10 minutes.
Several "RPC_CN_AUTH_VFY_CLIENT_REQ" error messages appear in
DCOM$RPCSS.OUT file in intervals of 2 minutes
2001-10-02-17:01:58.468-04:00I0.629 PID#330 ERROR rpc auth
CNSASSM.C;1 4654 0x01eb9740 RPC_CN_AUTH_VFY_CLIENT_REQ on
server failed: invalid handle (dce /rpc)
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Serviceability logging feature does not log the RPC information
into the log files, though it creates the file.
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Enabling Kerberos 5 Services on Alpha 7.3 and above aborts with
the following error message.
assert error: expression =context->refcount > 0, in file
DECW$DCERESD:[SECURITY.CLIENT.RCA.SRC]INTERNAL_BINDING.C;1 at line 2706
%SYSTEM-F-OPCCUS, opcode reserved to customer fault at
PC=FFFFFFFF80A5E7F4, PS=0000001B
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]DCE$KCFG.EXE
o RPC Fatal Exceptions are reported in DCOM$RPCSS.OUT when
running DCOM applications from Windows 2000 after a new login.
DCOM$RPCSS process reports the following exception in the OUT
file
2002-04-18-15:04:17.604-04:00I0.113 PID#21370 FATAL rpc recv CNRCVR.C;5
563 0x015a5740
(rpc_cn_network_receiver) Unexpected exception was raised
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o When the audit daemon is enabled from the dce_setup command
procedure, it fails with the following error.
***Could not execute DCECP command:
***Dcecp -c audfilter create world -at {dce_sec_modify {failure denial}all}
***%CLI-W-ABVERB, ambiguous command verb - supply more characters
*** Error: dcecp -c audfilter create world -at {dce_sec_modify {failure
denial} all} failed (continuing)
Audit daemon configuration failed
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]DCE$AUDITD.EXE
o DCE client example programs located in
[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCE.RPC] generated using IDL "-trace
log_manager" option access violate. The access viloation
occurs when the symbol RPC_LOG_FILE is defined.
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
address=000000000000 0000, PC=0000000000239F68, PS=0000001B
Images Affected:[SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o DCE Startup Procedure hangs during an upgrade from 1.5 to 3.0
in RPC Only Configuration
Images Affected:[SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN DCE030U01 KIT:
o When an invalid dcecp command is entered, the user is returned
to the DCL prompt instead of the dcecp prompt. In the example
below, after the error is displayed, the "dcecp>" prompt
should be output to allow the user to correct the command and
continue.
$ dcecp
dcecp> errtext 2350-
Error: The value '2350-' is not a valid integer error code.
$
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$DCECP.EXE
o An ACCVIO occurs when configuring Kerberos on pre-V7.2
versions of OpenVMS. The installation should not install MIT
Kerberos files on pre-V7.2 Alpha systems and configuration
should not ask questions for MIT Kerberos support on systems
that do not support the option. Below is a sample of the
ACCVIO:
$ dce_setup configure
Configuring Kerberos...
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
address=000000000000
0001, PC=00000000004D0F50, PS=0000001B
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o While converting a DTS local server to a DTS global server,
the following error is received:
*********************** ERROR ***********************
** An error occurred attempting to log in to DCE with
*** principal name "cell_admin"
Sorry.
Password Validation Failure. - cannot log in with
zero-length password (dce / sec)
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o DCE processes should be able to produce dumps during abnormal
termination. They do not.In order to be able to produce
dumps, user is granted the the option of setting the dump
logical 'DCE$DUMP_DAEMONS'.The dump daemons logical can be set
using:
DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC DCE$DUMP_DAEMONS 1
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
[SYSMGR]DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM
o A DCOM user, running in Unauthenticated mode (no NT security
credentials), fails, as follows:
$ run sserver
Server: CoRegisterClassObject: (null)(ee1282ca)
Server: Done
$ set message sys$message: DCE$RPC_MSG.EXE
$ exit %xee1282ca
%DCERPC-E-CANTLISTENSOCKE, cannot listen on socket (dce / rpc)
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o CNSASSM.C is not checking some memory allocation pointers for
null.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o According to the OSF documentation when a user defined
authorization function returns false, the status value from
the user supplied function is to be returned to the client.
The RPC runtime always returns status
"rpc_s_mgmt_op_disallowed" when the user function returns
false.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o ETGET and other tools should be but are not installed by the
DCE 3.0 upgrade.
o An attempt to start DCE fails after the start of the DCE$SECD
daemon. The error "Dcecp server ping was unsuccessful on all
endpoints" is output to the terminal. This error message has
been changed to:
Unable to acquire initial login context: Authentication
ticket expired. Please restart DCED
Which is more descriptive of the real problem and indicates
how to fix the problem, i.e. restart DCED
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
o The DCE security daemon, DCE$SECD, aborts with an ACCVIO.
Analysis using the SYS$MANAGER:JPI.COM tool shows the process
is continually leaking page file quota.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$SECD.EXE
o DCED can crash with an ACCVIo at VA=0, PC=2C10E4.The
DCE$DCED.OUT file shows:
Delete DCE$SPECIFIC:[VAR.SECURITY.CREDS]DCECRED_0427F700.NC;1:

%CMA-F-EXCCOP, exception raised; VMS condition code follows
-SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=04, virtual
address=0000000000000000, PC=00000000002C10E4, PS=0000001B
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o A DCE server or client process that needs to maintain a login
context crashes with an ACCVIO.For example the DCE$CDSCLERK
can fail with the following ACCVIO in the DCE$CDSCLERK.OUT
file:
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
address=0000000000000068, PC=0000000000989D50, PS=0000001B
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o Cannot configure and start an RPC only configuration on DCE
V3.0. Running uuidgen results in the error:
$ run sys$system:dce$uuidgen
%UUIDGEN-F-RPC_MESSAGE, Received Error Status: "no IEEE
802 hardware address"
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o kdestroy does not delete the credential files at
DCE$LOCAL:[VAR.SECURITY.CREDS]
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$LIB_SHR.EXE
o During startup, whenever a client application imports the
binding information from the name service database using the
rpc call rpc_ns_binding_import_next( )while having less than
13 free event flags the RPC call fails with the 'name service
unavailable' error.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]DCE$SOCKSHR_IP.EXE
o After 10 to 12 hours DCE$CDSD and DCE$GDAD will ACCVIO. At
that moment it is in a process to refresh the Server Identity.
However this refresh activity fails with the error
"sec_s_login_handle_invalid".
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]DCE$CDSD.EXE
[SYSEXE]DCE$GDAD.EXE
o While modifying DTS configuration from Local Server to Clerk,
the DTS entity representing the DTS server still exists in the
lan-profile. The server entry should not exist.
Images Affected: [SYSMGR]DCE$SETUP.COM
