Notes on Cell Administration
Establishing Intercell Communication
There may be more than one TXT record for a cell; each clearinghouse
in the cell has its own TXT record. Each TXT record appears on a
single line (without the slashes that appear in this example).
(You can also derive this information, though in a different format,
using the dcecp directory show command.)
3. For each TXT record in the output of show cell, create a line in a text
file similar to:
cell.xyz.com. IN TXT " TXT_data hostname.xyz.com "
Where: TXT_data is the TXT data from cdscp show cell (note that
this data must be entered on a single line), and hostname.xyz.com is
the full domain name of the CDS server system that maintains that
clearinghouse. The quotation marks are literal, and the absolute
name of the host must be used (in this case) without the trailing dot.
4. In the same text file, create a line for each different
hostname.xyz.com that you have added to the TXT records. For
example:
cell.xyz.com. IN MX 1 hostname.xyz.com.
5. Add these records to your DNS database, or give these records to your
DNS administrator.
Establishing Peer-to-Peer Trust
Peer-to-peer trust means a principal from one cell is trusted by another
cell; the second cell trusts that the first cell has authenticated the
identity of the principal. Use the following procedure to enable
peer-to-peer trust between cells:
1. Check that both cells are running gdad, and that the DNS resource
records for both cells are in the DNS database.
2. dce_login as cell administrator to one of the two cells.
3. Use the dcecp registry connect command:
dcecp> registry connect /.../ foreign_cell_name \
-facct cell_admin\
-facctpw
foreign_cell_admin_pwd \
-group none\
-fgroup none\
-org none\
-forg none\
