2601.0. "SUN to VMS display problems" by WELWEL::GRAHAM (Hopelessly Hopeful ! ) Thu Apr 12 1990 09:38

    We are trying to prove the interoperability of X bewtween a
    Sparcstation running Motif, a Wang PC running Xview and a VAXstation
    3100 running VMS 5.3-1	I'm trying to find out Sunos/Motif
    versions.
    
    TCP/IP is the transport that we're using and all systems will talk via
    telnet.  The only thing that doesn't work is applications running on
    the Sun and displaying on the VAXstation.  The VMS DEcwindows security
    is set up for "mars" * TCPIP   (machine ,quotes used to keep it lower
    case in UCX, user, transport) but xterm -display mars:0 fails with the
    "unable to open display" message.
    
    So far we have tried & succeeded with
    
    VMS <==>  Wang PC
    VMS ==>  SUN
    
    Any ideas why the Sun won't display on the VS3100 ?
    
    Regards,
    		Dave

2601.1	Don't quote the node name in the access control list	STAR::VATNE	Peter Vatne, VMS Development	`Thu Apr 12 1990 11:57`	5
	Don't quote the node name in the Customize Security access control list. You only need to quote lowercase node names in SET DISPLAY commands. The node name will appear in uppercase in the access control list, but it will match both upper and lowercase node names. (Confusing, I know. Not sure yet if we'll do anything about this for V3.)

	In any case, if you look in the server log (SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER0_ERROR.LOG) it will tell you why it rejected the connection. Actually, it will tell you WHETHER it rejected the connection, and who it thought was coming in on that connection. Burns
2601.3	decw$install_tcpip needed	WELWEL::GRAHAM	Hopelessly Hopeful !	`Tue Jul 31 1990 12:48`	9
	Hopefully better late than never ! We have just had this re-haunt this and the thing that must be done is to define/syste/exec decw$install_tcpip true in systartup_v5.com. This ensures that VMS will accept tcpip as the transport.

	> define/syste/exec decw$install_tcpip true > > in systartup_v5.com. This ensures that VMS will accept tcpip as the > transport. Please do not use this logical name. It was used only during field test, and may be removed in future versions. The correct way to make sure the TCP/IP transport is installed is to create SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM from the .TEMPLATE file. The .TEMPLATE file has examples of how to setup the transport.
