5627.0. "REGISTER NODE fails with NameSpace Access Denied" by KETJE::PACCO (Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae) Thu Sep 30 1993 10:25

    I have problems in DNS namespace access.
    
    I have all required rights to register and deregister DECnet nodes
    with the decnet_dns_register procedure (on ULTRIX).
    
    However, trying inext to register the node from DECmcc to add mcc attributes
    to the (existing) dns object, fails.
    
    I execute:			REGISTER NODE <fullname> synonym <synonym>
    
    and during the registration I get		"NameSpace Access Denied"

    What is preventing the registration_fm to get all the node child
    entities being registered?  Is there something more the registration FM
    is trying to do, beside the modification of attributes of the node
    object in DNS ?  The registration process did already something on
    the dns node object as can be seen in DNS:

    	mcc_admin, the group under which the DECmcc platform is known
    in the network, has read, write, delete and test on the objects, and
    node softlinks; and has read,write, test access on their directories.
    
    e.g.mcc_admin has read, write, test in .DNA_NodeSynonym
        mcc_admin has read, write, delete, test in .DNA_NodeSynonym.rbkc01

    From the iconic map	SHOW NODE <node> ALL REFERENCE
				    	gives "Not Registered Entity"

    Doing a "REGISTER NODE <node>" tells "The entity is already registered
    with MCC."

    
    	Kind regards,

    RE: .0
    
    When you register a node (phaseV), DECmcc also tries to create
    a softlink in .DNA_BackTranslation.*.* directory in addition to 
    a softlink in .DNA_NODESYNONYM.
    And, you need to have access rights in the .DNA_BackTranslation.*.*
    directory.

    William,
    
    I had access in these directories, because I can do
    	decnet_dns_register 	register without any problem
    	decnet_dnsA_register 	deregister without any problem
    
    After the register I also find the nodesynonym and backtranslation
    link!
    
    	The problem is that DECmcc PhaseV AM seems to require something
    more.
    
    	Regards,
    	Dominique.
