Release Applicability
This patch can be applied to any version of PC-DCE from 5.0.0
through 5.0.3.
New Features in This Release
No new features were added in this release.
Problems Fixed in This Release
RPC Timer Thread
Fixed a logic error in the RPC runtime that prevented the
RPC timer thread from pausing when there were no timer events
to process.
Error in Creating PGO Directories
Fixed an error in creating Principal, Group, Organization
(PGO) directories. The security server would fail to create
a PGO item in a directory that did not exist, but had the
same name as an existing principal. For example, if the principal
"test" existed and an administrator issued the dcecp
command "principal create test/user", the PGO directory
"test" could not be created.
Integrated Login Timeout
A logic error in Integrated Login (IL) prevented it from working
either over a low-bandwidth connection (for example, a dialup
modem) or with a highly loaded security server. IL would prematurely
time out.
Master Did Not Always Propagate State of the Password
Invalid Flag
Fixed an error in the security server where the master would
not always propagate the state of the password invalid flag.
Changed in This Release
SetEnvironmentVariable Used Instead of putenv
Entegrity has determined that the C runtime function putenv()
causes a memory leak on Windows NT and 2000. This function
was used to set the environment variable KRB5CCNAME every
time the sec_login functions created a new login context.
To prevent PC-DCE applications from leaking memory while using
the sec_login API, Entegrity has replaced putenv() with the
Win32 function SetEnvironmentVariable. Applications that rely
on the value of this environment variable can use Win32 function
GetEnvironmentVariable. However, the most reliable way to
acquire the path to a credential file is to call sec_login_export_context.
