3658.0. "support for captive accounts" by MLNCSC::VOCI () Wed Nov 14 1990 08:08

    A customer told me that if he tryes to log into a captive account thru
    decwindow he gets the fallowing message:
    
    	decwindow does not support captive accounts
    
    all this happens with vms 5.3-1.
    On my vax station I have vms 5.4 and I work normaly with captive
    accounts.
    
    Does any one know if this is normal with 5.3-1 ?
    (I would prefer not doing a downgrade !!!!! to try this )

Re: .0

Captive accounts (i.e. accounts with the CAPTIVE flag set in the UAF record) do
n't work with DECwindows in both VMS V5.3-1 and V5.4.  When you said that on
your VAXstation you work normally with captive accounts, did you log in from
the DECwindows login box and is the CAPTIVE flag set for the captive account?

    You were right, to try the captive account I was doing a set host 0
    within a decterm and in this way it works. Tring thru the login bax a
    receiped the same message of the customer.
