1-4 Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.7
About HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7
HP DCE/9000 Core Services Software
• The DCE cell diagnostic tool dceping.
• An enhanced version of the OSF CDS browser (cdsbrowser), which
has been ported to Release 6 of the X11 Windows system and the
Common Desktop Environment (CDE). The browser is accessible
through SAM. See the CDS Browser online help (accessible via the
CDS Browser Help menu) for details.
• Two sets of tools for developing DCE applications are available as
separately priced options to HP DCE/9000. For DCE application
development in C, HP DCE/9000 Application Development Tools
includes a modified IDL compiler (I2DL), tracing and logging facility,
error reporting facility, and sample applications. For DCE application
development in C++, HP DCE/9000 Object-Oriented DCE (HP
OODCE) includes an IDL++ compiler, tracing and logging facility,
C++ class library, sample applications, include files, and modified
header files for C++ application development.
• cdsclerk (new at HP DCE 1.5) no longer runs as separate processes.
cdsclerk functionality has been merged into the cdsadv process.
cdsadv, therefore, is now the only HP DCE CDS client process.
• HP’s dced (new at HP DCE 1.5) supports the new -r option. This
option starts dced in remote-update mode, which allows DCE cell
administration tasks to be performed by an administrator on a
remote machine. In order to help prevent attacks, the dced default
behavior is to disallow any remote administration.
• HP has enhanced the dcecp registry connect command with two
new options that support intercell login:
-acctvalid Marks the local cell account as a
valid account. A valid local cell
account allows users from the
foreign cell to login to nodes in the
local cell. The default is invalid.
-facctvalid Marks the foreign cell account as a
valid account. A valid foreign cell
account allows users from the local
cell to login to nodes in the foreign
cell. The default is invalid.
