2641.0. "More questions re: Client not authorized..." by YUPPIE::WILSON (Tony, the HOSS TRUMPET) Mon Apr 23 1990 17:30

Problem: Client VMS 5.1-b, Server VMS 5.3.

Client not authorized to access server messages appear.  Customer was
successful at doing DECWrite application until Today.  Now all attempts at 
editing document give this message.  Server machine was not changed over 
weekend.

What can cause this message?  Is there a special proxy file somewhere that I 
don't know about?

Thanks in advance...

2641.1What else has changed?STAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentMon Apr 23 1990 18:168
There is no access control list other than the one you get with the
Customize Security menu from the Session Manager.  Does the server
machine in fact still have the node and user name authorized?  Do
other applications other than DECwrite get the same error?  Is the
user perhaps using a different node than the one that was authorized?

Please look in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG on the server node to
see what node and user name the server thinks is trying to connect to it.

Also, is the client node defined in the server's DECnet database?

If someone defined the client node/user in the "Customize Security" section of
the session manager but never saved the changes, you would see this behavior
after logging in and out, or after a reboot, etc.
