In some cases SRM transfers fail because they are tried via
the plain dCap protocol (URL starts with
dcap://). Since plain dCap is
unauthenticated, the dCache server will have no information
about the user trying to access the system. While the transfer
will succeed if the UNIX file permissions allow access to
anybody (e.g. mode 777), it will fail otherwise.
Usually all doors are registered in SRM as potential access
points for dCache. During a protocol negotiation the SRM
chooses one of the available doors. You can force srmcp
to use the GSIdCap protocol
(-protocol=gsidcap) or you can unregister
plain, unauthenticated dCap from known protocols: From the
file config/door.batch remove
-loginBroker=LoginBroker and restart
dCap door
[root] #jobs/door stop[root] #jobs/door -logfile=<dCacheLocation>/log/door.log start
