The HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, for instructions on customizing and using your
system

Note that other customization tasks are described later in this chapter.

7.8.1 Creating Network Proxy Authorization Files

After a new installation of OpenVMS that includes DECnet, or after an upgrade in which you
have added DECnet, create your network proxy authorization files. These files include security
authorization information for users using network proxy accounts. If you do not create these
network authorization files before starting up your system, you might see messages such as the
following during startup:

Message from user SYSTEM on HOMER
%SECSRV-E-NOPROXYDB, cannot find proxy database file NET$PROXY.DAT
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found

The NET$PROXY.DAT file is the primary network proxy authorization file. The other network
authorization file to be created is NETPROXY.DAT. To create the network proxy authorization
files, enter the following commands:

$ SET DEFAULT SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]
$ MC AUTHORIZE CREATE/PROXY
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN

NOTE:

Be sure you create the network proxy authorization files before starting the queue

manager (as described in

Section 7.8.2 (page 133)

).

If you see messages similar to the following when you create the proxy files, you can ignore
them:

%UAF-W-NETCHANERR, error assigning a channel to NET:

-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available

For more information about network proxy accounts and files, see the HP OpenVMS System
Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
. For more information about the Authorize utility, see the
HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual: A-L.

7.8.2 Setting Up the Queue Manager and Default Queues

The initial installation of OpenVMS does not create the queue manager or any queues. HP
recommends that you create the queue manager and your default batch and print queues now.
When you install layered products (as described in

Section 7.15 (page 159)

), some of these products

expect such queues to be present or try to create queues themselves.
