Propagation
Monitoring Propagation
Step | 1. | On a secondary server, stop the daemons and then from the |
|
| /opt/krb5/admin directory, run the kdb_dump utility using the following |
|
| syntax: |
|
| # /opt/krb5/admin/kdb_dump |
Step | 2. | From the primary server, stop the daemons and then repeat the |
|
| procedure: |
|
| # /opt/krb5/admin/kdb_dump |
Step | 3. | Restart the daemons on both the primary and the secondary. |
Step | 4. | To compare the files for discrepancies, copy the files to the same location |
|
| and use the diff command: |
|
| diff primary.db secondary.db > diffs_p.db |
|
| The diff command creates a file, diffs_p.db, that lists each principal |
|
| entry on the primary database that does not match an entry on the |
|
| secondary principal database. For more information on the diff |
|
| command, type man diff on your |
| Restarting Propagation Using the Simple Process |
| To restart the Prop daemon, you can follow either a simple process of |
| restarting the daemons, or a more complex process in which you also |
| create a new propagation queue file and perform a full dump. This |
| section describes the simple process. |
| To stop and restart the propagation daemons: |
Step | 1. On the secondary server(s), kill the kpropd and execute the following |
| command: |
| # /opt/krb5/sbin/kpropd |
Step | 2. On the primary server, kill the kpropd and execute the following |
| command: |
| # /opt/krb5/sbin/kpropd |
