Sections
kpropd.ini stores configuration parameters important to propagation. This file contains the following sections:
•The [default_values] section controls the various global propagation properties. The listed values apply to all security servers unless you override the defaults by specifying different values in the [secsrv_name] section for a given security server.
•The [secsrv_name] section lists each security server in accordance to your propagation hierarchy. The listed values apply only to the specified server, where secsrv_name is the fully qualified domain name of the security server.You must configure the [secsrv_name] section for each security server in your realm in order to:
—Identify its
—Override one or more default values for a given server. This is an optional parameter.
Given below is a brief description of the kpropd.ini file sections:
[default_values] section
You cannot override the interval, service_name, or primary_realm values that you set in the default section. In other words, the values you set for these parameters in the default section override any different values you assign to them in the subsequent [secsrv_name] sections.
interval = n [smhd] Specifies how often to propagate database changes to the other security servers, where n, indicates the number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days. The default value is 15 seconds (15s). The default unit is seconds.
