SYMPTOMS
========
COM Transaction Integrator (COMTI) applications that use the explicit security
override feature to supply a userID and a password to COMTI generate the
following error message when a userID or a password that is longer than 10
characters is submitted.
HRESULT=0x800706BE
Automation error. The remote procedure call failed.
CAUSE
=====
The internal buffer sizes that COMTI uses for userID and password are limited to
10 bytes. However, there is no automatic test to make sure that this character
length is not exceeded.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Host Integration
Server 2000.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can turn on a COMTI trace by using Tracebits.exe.
If the userID is longer than 10 characters, the last 2 lines of the COMTI
Tracebits log file look similar to the following:
