A customer runs OpenVMS-AXP V6.2-1H3 and Decnet Phase IV on an Alpha
1000 system
While trying to remove 'old' proxies written in lowercase (!) he can't
and gets the following errors: ---------
UAF-E-NAFREMERR,...
SECURITY-E-NOSUCHPROXY,...
However doing a SHOW /PROXY shows the proxy he can't remove. Both NETPROXY
and NET$PROXY are defined.
I asked him to run CONVERT_PROXY but nothing changed. I've seen several
notes about similar errors but none of them help to solve this problem.
Is the 'lowercase' the problem ??
Can anybody help ?
Thanks in advance for any hint.

How did these entries get in the proxy database? Can you post an example of the proxy? I'd look at deleting the entry from the original proxy database directly, and recoverting -- it's a two-keyed indexed file, and some simple DCL should be able to open NETPROXY.DAT, read, and delete the offending record(s) quite nicely... Once mumged, reconvert the proxy database... Make a BACKUP _before_ munging with the file, of course... You may/will want to log an IPMT or QAR for an improvement, as it appears that UAF does not permit quotation marks around the username string. (It does permit quotes around the username, but it appears to upcase the username string, and it also appears to insert the quotes into the database.) | |||||
