Error Messages and Status Codes
0x1260a57b GDS_S_ACONTEXT_ERR
Severity: Warning Component: gds / GDS_S_GENERAL
Text: An unknown application context was detected (invalid context-ID = %d)
Explanation: Stub process could not detected a valid application context identifier (DAP,
DSP)
Action: Evaluate the invalid context identifier. Report the problem to the responsible
software engineer.
0x1260a8a1 GDS_S_ACQU_CRED_ERR
Severity: Fatal Component: gds / GDS_S_GENERAL
Text: Acquire credentials failed for auth. mech. %d, \nmessage from security interface:
%s.\n
Explanation: The Directory Service Agent (DSA) could not acquire it’s own credentials
for the specified authentication method. So the DSA cannot continue to work because the
credentials are needed for performing bind and unbind operations. The following
authentication mechanisms can appear:
2 = Simple Unprotected Authentication
5 = DCE Authentication
Action: Check whether the message which was supplied by the security interface can
help. If DCE Authentication was used:
Check whether there is an entry for this Directory Service Agent (DSA) in the
DCE Registry and if, whether this entry is sufficient.
Check whether the principal name of this DSA is the right one.
Use the tool rgy_edit to correct the contents of the DCE Registry.
Check whether the DCE security daemon is active.
0x1260aa96 GDS_S_ATSYNTAX_UNKNOWN
Severity: Fatal Component: gds / GDS_S_GENERAL
Text: Unknown attribute syntax %d.\n
Explanation: The Attribute Table (AT) of the administrated schema is in an illegal state.
It contains an entry having an unknown attribute syntax.
Action: This problem may occur due to a change to the schema object by an application
program, that did not use the schema administration of GDS. The error is fatal for
gdsgendb but not for gdsdsa, which continues with the unchanged schema. No action
required. The problem may also occur, when a corrupted database is restored. In this case
it is fatal for the gdsdsa. A consistent database has to be restored in this case.
