5942.0. "Security and Motif 1.2-3" by VAXRIO::MAURO () Mon Mar 17 1997 09:43

    Hi,
    
    AlphaStation 200
    OpenVMS v6.2
    Motif 1.2-3
    
    First: In the Options->Security The customer included:
    Transport DECnet Node 0 Username *
    Transport TCPIP  Node 0 Username *
    
    He was logged in through DECterm and entered a SET HOST 0. In this new
    session he entered the sequence bellow and got the error as described
    bellow:
    
    $set display/create/node=0/transport=decnet
    $run decw$examples:ico
    Xlib: connection to "WSAX:" refused by server
    Xlib: client is not authorized to connect this server
    Cannot open display
    
    I checked out with him thw option->security configuration and it seems
    ok.
    
    I suggested him to create the files
    SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED and
    SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_TRUSTED with the lines that follows and
    restart the server:
    
    * * *
    * 0 SYSTEM ALL
    
    After that when he runs ICO.EXE the error still happens. Is there
    something wrong in the steps I described? 
    
    Since I'm not able to access his workstation console I would like to
    have some tips about what to check from a remote connection.
    
    Any help will be very welcome. Mauro CSC-Brazil.
    
    

Did they enter the transport as "DECnet" or "DECNET"?  I'm not sure if
capitalization matters, but if it does then the transport should be in all
caps ("DECNET").

    .1 - Are you asking about options-security configuration or the files
    content?
    
    I can tell you that all tests I did with both files I used upper case.
    I also tryed other entries in the file, using the node name, a specific
    username, etc...
    
    I can check if he used upper case in the option->security. How teh
    security works when have both, the option->security configuration and
    both files I created?
    
    Thanks, Mauro.

I meant the option-security configuration.

The file is used to set the default security when the server first starts
up or after a server reset.  Once the user logs into the login box the
security list in the options->security dialog box will be used.
