c-treeACE V10.3 Release Notes

FAIRCOM.FCS upgrade problems with ADMIN_KEY

c-treeACE V10 Server startup has been seen to fail with the following CTSTATUS.FCS message:

Mon Aug 05 09:56:11 2013

- User# 00001 FAIRCOM.FCS does not match settings file: check with system administrator.

This occurred when all of the following were true:

• ADMIN_KEY was specified in ctsrvr.set
• FAIRCOM.FCS was created by a prior version of c-tree
• ADMIN_KEY was over 9 bytes

In V10, the ADMIN_KEY value stored in FAIRCOM.FCS was increased from 9 bytes to 64 bytes. The logic has been modified to properly update the ADMIN_KEY to the new format.
