4106.0. "DECNET object use in ACMS" by TAV02::KLEIN () Tue Feb 25 1997 02:32

Hi,

Some DECnet /security questions -

1. What DECnet Object does ACMS need and use in a distributed environment ?

2. Why Does it use DECnet task 0 for some network work ?  For security reason
   a customer would like to disable this DECnet task but then it will mean that
   he will have problem using the ACMS, wouldn't he ?  Can it be overcome ?

Thank's
- Amir Klein (Digital - Israel - SSDU)

	ACMS uses OBJ_49 as the initial object for the ACC connection. A local ACC connects to a remote ACC via OBJ_49 for GET_PROCEDURE_INFO call. ACMS does not use the TASK 0 object as far as I know. On our systems the TASK 0 object is disabled. Instead ACMS uses task-to-task communications, connecting from a known process on the front end to a known process on the remote system. Bill
