Description Dan McCarty CLA 2010-09-17 08:09:34 EDT
With a RDz client running on SUSE 10 Linux connecting to a AIX system running RDz 751 and RDz 761 servers, copy and delete operations generate a login prompt even the user is already connected.  The Windows client works fine going to previous server generations.  The SUSE 10 RDz 801 client connecting to the RDz 801 server works just fine.

Recreate Steps [mandatory]
-----------------------------
- With RDz started go to the RSE Perspective.
- Create a RSE connection on a SUSE 10 Linux client to a 761 or 751 AIX server.  
- Login to the server.
- Open the directory tree to find a file, connectionname->Files->MyHome....
- Ctrl+C on a file to copy it.
- Ctrl+V to paste the file.  
- At this point the user is prompted to login to the system but they are already logged in.  If the login prompt is canceled usually the file is copied.
- The copied file should be selected so hit the Del key to delete the file.  
- The user will be prompted to login to the system again even though they are logged in already.  If the login prompt is canceled the file usually is deleted.

The extraneous login prompts happen when the client connection is logged into both the RDz 751 and RDz 761 servers.  

Expected Results [mandatory]
-------------------------------
The file should be copy and deleted without having to login multiple times.  We have a requirement to be able to connect the latest Client to servers from the previous TWO RDz releases.  

Build Information [mandatory]
--------------------------------
     - 801 9/8 Client Build.
     - 761 and 751 AIX Server builds.
     
Client/Host Information [mandatory]
--------------------------------------
    - Client is Intel Linux SUSE 10.
    - 761 and 751 AIX Server builds.

I tried this on a SUSE 11 intel linux box but I wasn't able to reproduce it.  Is this something that can be reproduced with RSE alone or do you have to use RDz?
Comment 2 Dan McCarty CLA 2010-09-21 13:05:52 EDT
This is with RDz with the latest client connecting to previous versions of the server.

I can't reproduce it when connecting to an older server either.  Are there any disconnected subsystems for your connection at the time of the copy operation?
Comment 4 Dan McCarty CLA 2010-09-21 15:00:47 EDT
The subsystems should have all connected at with a single connection creation.  Or they should have.  :)  The subsystems should not have been disconnected.  I execute the steps as documented earlier with no steps in between when this happens.  Normal RDz functionality is that all of the subsystems are connected.

I was just curious if any connection was disconnected to begin with (say JES). If so that might lead me to speculate that we're checking that too many things are connected during the operation.  Since that's not the case, I'm not sure what the problem can be.  Can you try this with just RSE to rule out whether it's an RDz-specific problem or not?

David,

I do not have access to a system with just RSE/Eclipse.

I noticed new behavior today.  I am seeing this on the RDzEnterprise builds as well when connecting to an RDp server on AIX.

The user is prompted twice for the userid/password.  A second connect request with the same userid does not seem to cause two userid/password prompts.  But if a different userid is used on the connection then the double prompt occurs.
