******************** Overview ********************
I have an X windows application which calls X$OPEN_DISPLAY(0).
a) If the application is started from a DECterm process, no problem...
X$OPEN_DISPLAY completes successfully, and the windows are correctly displayed
on the workstation monitor.
b) If user X is logged into the workstation (from the workstation monitor),
and user X also logs into the workstation from a VTxxx terminal, the
application can be started from user X's VTxxx process and the windows are
displayed on the workstation monitor.
******************** Problem ********************
If user X is logged into the workstation (from the workstation monitor),
and user Y logs into the workstation from the VTxxx, user Y can not start the
application. The call to X$OPEN_DISPLAY(0) results in the following error...
Xlib: connection to "<node>::0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to access server
I tired giving user Y permission to open the display by adding the following
to the Customize Security menu, but nothing seemed to help:
NODE USERNAME TRANSPORT
------- -------- ---------
<NODE> Y DECNET
<NODE> Y LOCAL
<NODE> Y *
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank-you.

| 2621.1 | Local node is referred to as node '0' | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Tue Apr 17 1990 19:57 | 4 |
Try using nodename '0' instead of your node name. This is a rather hacky way of specifying your own node. I'd like to get rid of it as it obviously causes confusion. However, it is embedded in all of our transports, so removing this might not be very easy. | |||||

Thank-you. That solved the problem. I have to agree though, it is not
very intuitive. It might also be nice if this little fact were
documented in the manuals.
Anyway, thanks again.

For future readers of this conference, if you look in the server log when something like this happens, it will tell you what it thinks the node and user names are when a connection is rejected. SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG. Burns | |||||
