APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - zLinux
  When you try to access files from RDz via the
  Remote System Explorer (RSE) view, you receive this error:
  CoreJNI.java Authentication script did not provide any feedback:
  perl ./../lib/auth.pl
  -->tkth000<---
  The connection is killed before the DIE text is written out.
  Therefore, you never sees the message, "Cannot connect to $host:
  $@"
  
  Local Fix:
  Change the DIE statement in the script below:
  use Net::Domain;
  use Net::FTP;
  $host = hostname();
  chomp($host);
  $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 0)
            or die "Cannot connect to $host: $@";
  if (!$ftp->login($userIN, $pwdIN)) {
          print "incorrect password\n";
  
  To:
  use Net::Domain;
  use Net::FTP;
  $host = hostname();
  chomp($host);
  $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 0)
  or print "Cannot connect to $host: $@";
  if (!$ftp->login($userIN, $pwdIN)) {
  print "incorrect password\n";
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Perl script auth.pl would abort without any error message. The
  class in CoreJNI.java expecting an error message would not have
  a message to issue to the user.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed by adding a missing return message.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.0 Refresh Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
  http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
