Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

Resolution
If you have invoked the GUI on a remote system, you may see the following error
messages:
Xlib: connection to <display> refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can’t Open display.
Check that you have set the $DISPLAY environment variable correctly on the remote
system to identify your display. If it is correct, you may have to enable the remote host
to make connections to your X server via the xhost(1) command or by modifying
your /etc/X*.hosts file.
If you see the error message:
swinstall: Error: cannot read file:
/usr/lib/sw/ui/smc_install_copy.ui
— or —
swremove: Error: cannot read file:
/usr/lib/sw/ui/smc_remove.ui
the system is telling you that the file /usr/lib/sw/ui/smc_install_copy.ui
must be installed on the system to run either swinstall or swcopy interactively or
that the /usr/lib/sw/ui/smc_remove.ui file must be installed to run swremove.
Make sure that the directory /usr/lib/sw/ui exists and includes the requested file.
If the file does not exist, you must reinstall the SD-CMDS fileset from your OS media.
B.2.3 Access To An Object Is Denied
Denial of access to SD-UX objects may have a number of causes, including:
• ACL permissions
• Inter-host secrets
• Working with image copies of depots
Resolution
Generally, when SD-UX denies access to an object, a message tells you that you do not
have the required access permission. Yet, it may be unclear which object is not accessible.
For example, when you use swcopy to copy a product from system A to a depot, SD-UX
checks these ACLs:
1. If the destination depot does NOT exist, the host ACL is checked to verify that the
user has “insert” permission.
2. If the destination depot does exist, the depot ACL is checked to verify that the user
has write permission.
3. The source depot’s ACL is checked to make sure the user has read permission on
the source depot.
4. The source product’s ACL is also checked to make sure that the user and the
destination system both have read access to the product.
