Hewlett-Packard’s DCE configuration tools are not guaranteed to interoperate with other vendor’s DCE implementations. In particular:

•The DCE Configuration Manager, DCM, will configure any other HP DCE/9000 Version 1.4x Series 700/800 system. It will also configure versions 1.6, 1.5, 1.3.1, 1.2, and 1.2.1 of HP DCE/9000, but some operations may not be supported.

•DCM will discover a cell in its entirety, including non-HP systems provided the non-HP systems have been correctly configured in the CDS name space. (DCM cannot configure non-HP systems.)

•DCM may be run from any DCE/9000 Version 1.7 system within the cell.

•HP’s version of dce_config is based on the OSF version, but contains enhancements specific to HP systems.

Interoperability of the DES and DES-Hidden Versions

The DES and DES-hidden versions of this release are interoperable with the following limitation: DES-based application servers or clients that specify the “privacy” RPC data protection level or the gss_seal “confidentiality requested” flag are not interoperable with servers or clients based on the DES-hidden version.
