Propagation

prpadmin

prpadmin

prpadmin is an administrative application that runs on all security servers and helps you manage the propagation system. For example, to propagate the full contents of the primary principal database to all secondary security servers, execute the prpadmin full_dump command on the primary security server.

This application can be located at

# /opt/krb5/admin

You can run prpadmin from the command line or in a shell-like command loop.

•If you run prpadmin from the command line, you must specify a particular command. For example: #./prpadmin full_dump

•To run prpadmin in a shell-like command loop, execute prpadmin with no commands, and then specify a particular command. For example: #./prpadmin > full_dump

Typically, commands have the format command [hostnames]. On the primary security server, the only valid hostnames belong to secondary servers; on the secondary servers, the only valid hostname is that of the primary server or those secondary servers that act as child servers to the parent secondary server. Specify hostnames as fully qualified domain names (FQDN).

For more information on prpadmin, refer to the prpadmin (1) manpage.
