HP-UX Integrated Login

Integrating DCE with HP-UX Integrated Login

When using passwd_import to set up accounts from /etc/passwd, be aware that passwd_import:

•Creates accounts for all entries in /etc/passwd but marks the accounts invalid. After using passwd_import, the cell administrator must use dcecp to assign a password to each account and to mark each account as valid.

•Does not create accounts from NIS information. However, you can run passwd_import on the source file used to generate the NIS map to import NIS information into DCE. You still have to mark valid and assign a password to each imported account.

See the dcecp (8) , passwd_export (8), and passwd_import (8) man pages or the OSF DCE Administration Guide—Core Components for more information on importing and exporting account information, and on creating and modifying DCE registry accounts.

Configuring HP-UX Integrated Login with

DCE

To integrate DCE with HP-UX Integrated Login in each DCE cell member system:

•Be sure that you have completed the steps in the previous section “Preparing to Integrate DCE with HP-UX Integrated Login”.

•Follow the instructions given in the section entitled “Activating HP-UX Integrated Login”. When issuing the command to activate HP-UX Integrated Login, substitute the string “dce” for the required tech_name field when specifying the authentication policy.

If DCE is specified as the login technology, auth.adm performs the following actions:

•Verifies that the system is not configured with HP-UX Commercial Security.

•Verifies that a root account exists in the DCE Security Registry.

•Copies the root account entry in /etc/passwd to /etc/opt/dce/ passwd_override.
