Re: -952 Authentication Error on Solaris 10
Hello Nate,
what happens if you do the same using dbaccess
eq ssh to the machine
start dbaccess choose the connect option choose your network
informixserver
supply user and passwd
could be an os issue??? sorry just guessing
Superboer.
Hello Ian,
because i have had dozens of problems like the above where someone got
rid of root or suid.
why don't you test this on your testbox, you will see.
it could very well be -951 what is returned.....

Superboer,
I was thinking along the lines of a firewall issue.
Assuming that the production box and the development box are similar
machines in terms of OS and set up, if one box works and one box
fails, then it could be a configuration issue. That could mean
firewall, IDS setup, or user admin setup. If they're using some form
of single sign-on that's on both machines (yp?), then it makes a tcp/
ip filter issue more likely. However, the weird thing is that in
order to get a -952 issue, its a server generated issue. So maybe its
a configuration issue in ODBC? Like the password isn't coming across
ok or that the user doesn't have connect privileges with the specified
db? (And that could be it.)
So what's different between the two boxes?

Hello Ian,
well may be testing dbaccess on the local box using user and passwd to
connect may
rule that out???
wait and see
Superboer.

If the user doesn't have connect privileges, then the error is different. IDS first goes through the authentication process (making sure you're the one you're saying), and then checks the privileges. Each situation has a different set of errors. Some versions had an issue with passwords longer than 8 characters. I think this was specific to Solaris. It's easy to check if anybody thinks that this maybe the issue (you can change the password, if it's longer than 8 chars, for testing purposes).
