About This Document In This Version CMA threading is provided only for run-time support. It is not provided for development environments. NOTE • OSF DCE features supported by HP-UX DCE 2.0 include Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Security, Cell Directory Service (CDS), and Distributed Time Service (DTS). New Features in HP-UX DCE 2.0 The following features are new in HP-UX DCE 2.0: • The default permissions of the following files have changed from 0666 to 0644: — /var/opt/dce/svc/error.
About This Document In This Version — DCE-Core Tools: NOTE ❏ DCE-CoreTools.DCE-TLS-NOTES ❏ DCE-CoreTools.DCE-BPRG ❏ DCE-CoreTools.DCEP-ENG-A-MAN HP now ships ELF-32 IA binaries on IA systems. Earlier, PA-RISC PA binaries were shipped on IA systems. Products and Filesets Removed From HP-UX DCE 2.0 The following products and filesets are not available with HP-UX DCE 2.
About This Document In This Version • Extended Registry Attribute (ERA) facility— provides a means to define arbitrary attribute types; to attach instances of those types to principals, groups, and organizations; and to insert attributes in a principal's credentials for use by specialized security applications. For example, the ERA facility could be used to support single sign-on across non-UNIX platforms and legacy systems by associating additional security information with users and groups.
About This Document Changed Features in HP-UX DCE 2.0 Changed Features in HP-UX DCE 2.0 This section describes features that have changed in HP-UX DCE 2.0. Control Programs and Daemons HP-UX DCE 1.4.x replaced the following control programs with dcecp. HP-UX DCE 1.6 and 1.7 support these programs for transition purposes only. HP-UX DCE 2.0 does not support them. If you use any scripts referencing these programs, modify these scripts to use dcecp instead.
About This Document Changed Features in HP-UX DCE 2.0 • Minimize the use of signals, and use only POSIX semantics when programming with signals. For example, threaded applications use only the functions sigaction(), sigprocmask(), and sigwait(). If you have CMA applications running on a PA platform, you can use them on IA. However, HP does not provide support for users recompiling these applications on IA without porting them to kernel threads.
About This Document Compatibility Among Versions of HP-UX DCE Compatibility Among Versions of HP-UX DCE HP-UX DCE 2.0 is compatible with all previous versions of HP-UX DCE. HP-UX DCE 2.0 does not support DFS (supplied with HP-UX DCE 1.5 and earlier HP-UX DCE versions). Interoperability with Other Implementations of OSF DCE HP-UX DCE 2.0 is interoperable with a variety of other implementations of OSF DCE running on various platforms. See Chapter 1 of Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds Known Problems and Work Arounds This section describes the known problems, workarounds, and changes in HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 on HP-UX 11i v3. Known Problems for HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 This section contains a list of the known problems for HP-UX DCE 2.0. Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0 (5991-7712) also contains additional information about many of these problems.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds Use kdestroy to remove credentials that are no longer needed. The -e option of kdestroy removes credentials older than a specified number of hours. • When you run dcecp in "local" mode (that is, when you start dcecp with the local option) on a host with dced in partial-service mode, there is a possibility that a dcecp "acl modify -add" command will not work. The interactive dcecp session may hang or a Bus Error may be returned.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds The workaround is to use rlogin without -f when logging into the local node. In the remote case, where you are using rlogin -f to log in to a remote node, it is intended behavior for k5dcelogin to delete the credentials on the remote system once you exit the remote system. • Audit events are not generated for authentication services.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds • A machine whose name has been changed must be unconfigured and then reconfigured into the cell; otherwise the old name will be used. • Support for Integrated Login Password Expiration and Password Generation is as follows: When a password expires, the corresponding account is disabled. The user cannot log in until the DCE cell administrator reactivates the account.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds The script /usr/sbin/auth.adm is supplied to activate the integrated login utilities once your system has been set up with the needed accounts. You should not use the auth.adm script to activate the integrated login utilities until after you have set up the accounts necessary for your site in the DCE security service registry. Login using a fully qualified DCE name is supported for integrated login configurations created by — auth.
About This Document Known Problems and Work Arounds • Cell alias names are not automatically propagated across cell boundaries. Use of cell aliases across cell boundaries is supported when the cell alias name is manually registered in the security namespace. • Cell renaming (the dcecp"cellalias set" command) is not supported. You can create an alternate cell name using the dcecp "cellalias create" command. This command creates a cell alias name without changing the primary cell name.
