Configuring HP DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
7.dce_config prompts you to choose the Cell Administrator’s principal name and password. The default principal name for the Cell Administrator is cell_admin:
Enter desired principal name for the Cell
Administrator:(cell_admin)
Enter desired password for the Cell Administrator:
8.dce_config prompts you for the starting point for UNIX user and group IDs that will be generated by the DCE Security Service. This step prevents the DCE Security Service from generating IDs that are already in use by your system. Type < RETURN> to choose the default value, or enter a value of your choice:
S:****** The current highest UNIX ID for persons is N. Enter the starting point to be used for UNIX IDs that are automatically generated by the Secu rity Service when a principal is added using “rgy_edit “:
( N+100) < RETURN>
S:****** The current highest UNIX ID for groups is N. Enter the starting point to be used for UNIX IDs that are automatically generated by the Security Service when a group is added using “rgy_edit “: ( N+100)
<RETURN>
dce_config then starts up secd and initializes the registry database.
| S:****** Starting secd… |
| S:****** Checking for active sec_client service... |
| S:****** Starting sec_client service... |
| S:****** Initializing the registry database… |
| This system is now configured as the master Security server. You |
| must now create a CDS server, either on this system or on another |
| system: |
| • If the CDS server for this cell will be on another system, repeat |
| steps 1 and 2 on that system, and continue with step 10 below. |
| • If the CDS server is on the same system as the Security server, |
| continue with step 9 below. |
| Do not configure an additional CDS Server or a replica of a CDS Server |
CAUTION | |
| on the same system as your Security Server. Such a configuration is |
| illegal and unsupported. |
| 9. From the Initial Cell Configuration menu, choose Initial CDS Server: |
