Notes on Cell Administration

Enhanced CDS Browser

Communication time-out limit

Cache data time-out limit

You can also set defaults for these options, and can toggle confirmation of non-destructive dialogs.

Manage Replica Locations

You can create a replica of a directory, change the location of a master replica, display information about a replica, and delete a replica from a clearinghouse.

Log in to DCE

You can log in to DCE, either as yourself or as another user, when you need authentication to perform actions. If you lose authentication during an HP CDS Browser session, you can log in to DCE without exiting the browser.

User Interface Enhancements

Icons

When the Browser starts, an icon representing the root directory is the first item to be displayed in the window. Directories, soft links, and object entries all have distinct icons associated with them. The icons are described in the CDS Browser online help in the Online Reference topic under the heading “HP CDS Browser Icons”.

For information about how the icons were created and how they can be modified, see the cdsbrowser (8) man page.

Default Action on Double Clicking

The HP DCE/9000 CDS Browser provides additional “default” actions for double clicking on CDS entries. For example, double clicking on group or profile entries causes the group or profile editor to appear; double clicking on an object, rpc_entry, or soft link entry accesses the Attribute List window. Double clicking on a directory entry expands or collapses the directory.
