1099.0. "No reverse lookup on created DDS entry." by FORTY2::BRIDPORT (It's only ME.) Wed Jul 22 1992 15:01

	I have just installed MR and all Gateways on a node and then 
	installed ALL-IN-1 V3.0 which is configured with "OA$DDS_PRIME= 1"
	The MR installation is new so there is no old DDS database and 
	therefore, no subscribers on the system. I then go into ALL-IN-1 and
	create several accounts.  Some of these users want to use local
	gateways.  With the proxy stuff being utilised in DDS, ie: an
	entry looks like

    Organization name           : Digital Equipment Company
    Organizational unit         : Mail Interchange Group
    Given name                  : Nigel
    Surname                     : Bridport
    Position or role            : Software Engineer
    Initials                    : NM
    Name                        : Nigel Bridport
    Location                    : REO2
    Paper mail address          : F/K2
    Free-format postal address  : DEC Park 2
    Free-format postal address  : Imperial Way
    Free-format postal address  : Worton Grange
    Free-format postal address  : READING
    Free-format postal address  : Berkshire
    Free-format postal address  : England
    Proxy user agent            : OA$KZANOL$ALLIN1
    Master copy owning node     : KZANOL
    MHS/VMS address number      : 1
        MHS User identifier     : BRIDPORT
 
	There is NO reverse lookup apparent, but the MRS/MRP/MRX Gateways 
	have to validate the originator of a message in DDS.  The reverse
	lokup is not built by ALL-IN-1 and any message sent to a local Gateway
	will be rejected.  The way around this is, I suppose, just to add the 
	reverse lookup to the DDS entry.

	Is this a known problem?

	Nigel.

1099.1Known by who?AIMTEC::WICKS_ADEC Mail Works for ME sometimesWed Jul 22 1992 18:1014
    Nigel,
    
    
    Did all users have this problem? or just a few. Obviously
    MAIL_DIR_CONVERT couldn't read the logicals OA$PRIMARY_NODE and
    OA$MTI_MAILBX for some reason.
    
    You can fix it up either by running SUBSCRIBER_CHANGE for each user
    or use a command such as <WRITE CHANGE SUBSCRIBER SURNAME1="BRIDPORT",
     MAILBOX=OA$MTI_MAILBX, MTANODE1=OA$PRIMARY_NODE
    
    regards,

1099.2Still happens.FORTY2::BRIDPORTIt&#039;s only ME.Mon Jul 27 1992 18:2410
	This problem happens for all of my ALL-IN-1 subscribers created
	The logicals OA$MTI_MAILBX and OA$PRIMARY_NODE are there when I 
	'SHOW LOGICAL OA$*' but ALL-IN-1 cannot see them or add the to my 
	DDS entry.

	Any clues where I could look???

	Thanks,
	Nigel.
1099.3Write a bit of script maybeAIMTEC::WICKS_ADEC Mail Works for ME sometimesMon Jul 27 1992 22:267
    Nigel,
    
    How about a FOR loop that does WRITE CHANGEs for all the users?

1099.4Yea but....FORTY2::BRIDPORTIt&#039;s only ME.Tue Jul 28 1992 09:1034
	I suppose that would be a way around it, even if it would take me 
	a little time not being familiar with the scripts used by ALL-IN-1.

	I did try a re-installation last night and the IMD IVP failed with 
	the following message:

>![MESS]   Message: Verifying Mail Directory
>![MESS]   Message: No UAPASSWRD entry
>![MESS]   Message: Verification of Mail Directory has FAILED, please investigate
>!               .
>![MESS]   Message: Starting MR verification.
>![MESS]   Message: MR verification has PASSED.
>![MESS]   Message:
>![MESS]   Message: Both tests have failed.
>
>Verifying ALL-IN-1's interface with Message Router.
>---------------------------------------------------
>
>Lowest valid version of MR is V3.
>Your current version of MR is MR S3.2-218.
>MR version correct.
>MR Mailbox entry for ALL-IN-1 verified to be A1.
>Message Router IVP has PASSED.
>End of Message Router IVP.
>
>! Finished verifying Mail Directory and MR.

	The first half states that both tests have failed.  Am I missing 
	something but from the look of it, only 1 test has failed *:-S
	How can I check the UAPASSWRD file?

	Thanks for any help,
	Nigel.
1099.5Mailbox problems because of UAPASSWRD??????FORTY2::BRIDPORTIt&#039;s only ME.Tue Jul 28 1992 10:2315
	re: .1
		

	When I try a:

<WRITE CHANGE SUBSCRIBER SURNAME1="BRIDPORT", MAILBOX=OA$MTI_MAILBX, 
							MTANODE1=OA$PRIMARY_NODE

	On my DDS entry as created by ALL-IN-1, the Node name manages to
	appear but the mailbox is still not apparent.  I am pretty sure that 
	my A1 mailbox is correct but if the IVP failed with a UAPASSWRD
	error could this cause my mailbox problems

1099.6Confusion between ALL-IN-1 symbols and VMS logicalsIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO-D/3CTue Jul 28 1992 15:1614
    If you did your WRITE CHANGE exactly as in .5, it wouldn't work.
    
    OA$PRIMARY_NODE is an ALL-IN-1 symbol. OA$MTI_MAILBX isn't (it's a VMS
    logical only). So you would need to do a 
    
<WRITE CHANGE SUBSCRIBER SURNAME1="BRIDPORT", MAILBOX=LOG$OA$MTI_MAILBX, 
							MTANODE1=OA$PRIMARY_NODE
    
    
    (you can get ALL-IN-1 to access VMS logicals by preceding the name of
    the logical with LOG$).
    
    HTH,
    Dave.
