Since our system management folks have upgraded to OpenVms 6.2 and Decnet/osi, I have been able to access a proxy account using the cluster alias. The following command fails: Dir ATOSOA"MAA_PROXY":: The cluster consists of several nodes, one of which is ATO01. The following command is successful: Dir ATO01"MAA_PROXY":: I have been told that I need to change the node addressing to: Dir dec:.alf.atosoa"maa_proxy":: This does, in fact, work. However, I believe that the failing command should work. Alias Incoming is not enabled on any node in the cluster, and I think this is why access using the cluster alias doesn't work. Access using ATOSOA"ACCOUNT PASSWORD":: also fails in the same manner. Any help appreciated.

Enable incoming alias connections on the nodes, and see if you can get a node synonym into DECdns for the ATOSOA:: node. Most OSI questions are best asked over in HELP::DECNET-OSI_FOR_VMS. | |||||
