Directory Service Manager for DECdns HyperHelp System
*HyperReader
|
Shows error counts for the selected DECdns server, including
the following:
Incompatible Protocol Errors
Indicates how many requests received by the selected DECdns
server from a clerk running an incompatible protocol version.
A DECdns server can communicate with any clerk running
the same protocol version, or the version previous to the one
it is running. This counter increases by 1 at each occurrence
of the Incompatible Request event.
Authentication Failures
Indicates how many times a requesting principal failed
authentication procedures.
Times Lookup Paths Broken
Indicates how many broken connections between clearing-
houses on the selected DECdns server and clearinghouses
closer to the root exist. Incoming requests to the selected
DECdns server that require a downward lookup in the di-
rectory hierarchy may still succeed, but requests requiring
lookup in directories closer to the root will fail. This counter
increases by 1 at each occurrence of the Broken Lookup Paths
event.
Possible Cycles
Indicates how many times the selected DECdns server fol-
lowed a chain and encountered an entry already in the chain.
For example, a soft link is created that points to a series of
links that eventually point back to the first link, or a group
which is a member of itself. This counter increases by 1 at
occurrence of the Possible Cycles event.
Crucial Replica Removals Backed Out
Indicates how many times a user attempted (from the se-
lected DECdns server) to remove a replica that is crucial to
the connectivity of a directory hierarchy. The DECdns server
background process prevents users from accidentally discon-
necting lower-level directories from higher-level directories.
When it detects an attempt to remove a crucial replica, it will
not execute the command to do so. This counter increases by
1 at each occurrence of the Crucial Replica event.
Child Pointer Update Failures
Indicates how many times the DECdns server background
process was unable to contact all the clearinghouses where
a replica of a particular child directory's parent directory is
stored, and was therefore unable to apply the child updates
that have occurred since the last skulk. This counter in-
creases by 1 at each occurrence of the Cannot Update Child
Pointer event.
Security Failures
Indicates how many times the Security Failures event was
generated. This counter increases whenever a DECdns
server has insufficient access rights to a directory or object
to perform either a client-requested action or a background
operation.
