5-10 Planning and Conﬁguring HP DCE 1.7

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 Ser-

vice 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.

CAUTION Do not conﬁgure an additional CDS Server or a replica of a CDS Server

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:

selection: 2 (Initial CDS Server)
