1344.0. "Registering problem with IMPM" by COL01::WELZEL (Uwe Welzel, NaC, Cologne) Thu Aug 15 1991 11:30

    We are having a problem adding a station or domain (for example) in the
    iconic map when working out of an account other than the system
    account. Adding a domain from the command line mode of DECmcc works.
    
    This account has the same priveleges as a system account. In DNS we
    have set the following priveleges for this account for the root
    directory to be:
    
        read, write, delete, test, control with the flag propogate.
    
    After "moving the pointer to the map window and clicking" we get
    an error message something like:
    
    	"entity does not exist" because DNS object .uwe does not
            exist. (we were trying to create the domain .uwe inside the
    	    domain map .b151)
         or
    	"unable to create domain" because decnos_ns:..b151 member
             decnos_ns:.uwe does not exist.(in this case we were trying
    	     to create a domain called .uwe inside the domain map .b151 which
             are both in the namespace called decnos_ns:)
    
    DECmcc information: DECmcc V1.1
                        DNS V1.1 (patch applied)
                        VMS 5.4-2
                         
    We have also recently upgraded our system from 5.3 to 5.4-2. Are there
    any known problems as a result of such an upgrade?
    
    Any information that anyone might have to help us with this problem we
    would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone known of a "good document" that
    describes DNS security that would also be helpful. (the general
    management guide that we have is quite vague and hard to understand)
    
    Thanks in advance

1344.1FYI Food for though...SPANKY::SHEEHANThu Aug 15 1991 14:5310
    
    I too have encountered this problem. My systems are running: VMS 5.3-1
    DNS V1.1, DECMCC V1.1. The one thing I can offer as food for thought is
    that one on of my systems during DNS installation I added a user name
    to the dna_registrar group. This user can do all that can be done via
    system account. On my other system I have added user names to the
    dna_registrar group using the DNS_setup.com procedure after the
    installation etc. These users do NOT have the same access as the 
    system account (it could almost be called NO access). Hope this helps a
    little...
