Configuring HP DCE Cells

Configuring Cells Using dce_config

Initial Cell Configuration

As of HP DCE 1.6, dce_config sets the DCEAUDITFILTERON environment variable to enable audit filtering, which limits the range of audit event types logged. It you want to disable or change the default settings provided by dce_config, you must do so before starting any server that provides data to the Audit Service. See “Configuring the DCE Audit Service” in this chapter and “The DCE Audit Service” in Chapter 1.

HP DCE 1.6 and 1.7 do not support DFS. Therefore, you can ignore references to DFS that still appear in configuration menus. If you choose DFS Client from the DCE Configuration Menu, for example, a message displays that the bits are not loaded.

When creating an HP DCE cell, servers must be configured before clients. First configure a Security server, then a CDS server, a Time server, and finally a single Time provider. Then you may configure clients.

When planning a DCE cell, note that you must configure a CDS client on any Security server system that is not running a CDS server. You must also configure a Time client on any system that is not running a Time server. Be sure to configure these clients only after you have configured all servers.

Client configuration is discussed in “Configuring Client Systems: Security, CDS, and DTS” later in this chapter.
