    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSW version 4.1.1
    Test Identification XPROTO/staccsscnt 1
    Problem Summary PG4W.00041 The test is failing because the client does not reside on the same machine as the server.
    Problem Text
    When a client sends a valid SetAccessControl protocol request to the X server,
    then the X server does not send back an error, event or reply to the client.
    The X/Open CDE Components and Profile Definitions requires a test environment
    in which the X protocol driving the display is carried over an external
    TCP/IP connection. The test suite (client) does not reside on the same host
    as the X server, which results in an Access error for the SetAccessControl
    protocol request.
    Test Output
    Test 1: FAIL
    Expect: wanted NOTHING, got ERROR - BadAccess
    Test SetAccessControl failed with 1 error.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be rejected.

    The specifications states:

    The client must reside on the same host as the server and/or have
    been granted permission by a server-dependent method to execute this
    request (or an Access error results).

    While we agree this configuration requirement is not well documented in the test
    suite, there is no test deficiency per se. The submitter should configure
    the implementation under test to allow the client permission to issue
    SetAccessControl requests so the tests for this request can be performed.

    Second Opinion
    --------------

    We believe that this is probably a problem in the SetAccessControl protocol.
    A previous waiver request highlighted the ability to Add but not Remove hosts
    and we believe that this protocol failure may be associated with that
    waiver request. We do not believe that the rationale provided by the
    submitter provides sufficient evidence that the problem has been correctly
    diagnosed, particularly in the light of the ability to add ahost to the
    hosts list.

    We recommend that the request is refused.
