Conﬁguring HP DCE Cells

Conﬁguring Cells Using dce_conﬁg

Conﬁguring Client Systems: Security, CDS, and DTS

Before conﬁguring clients, ﬁrst conﬁgure your server systems. Then use

this procedure to conﬁgure client systems.

You must conﬁgure a CDS client on any Security server system that is

not running a CDS server. To conﬁgure a client system, you need to know

the name of the systems(s) running the Security server and the initial

CDS server for the cell.

If you are using DTS as your time synchronization mechanism, you must

conﬁgure a DTS clerk (client) on any system that is not running a DTS

server.

You must have the following information to conﬁgure a client:

• The host name of any security server in the cell

• The cell administrator's principal name and password

• The host name of a CDS server in the cell

1. Start dce_conﬁg on the system that you want to conﬁgure with DCE

client(s).

2. Enter the DCE Conﬁguration Menu:

DCE Main Menu

selection: 1 (CONFIGURE)

3. Run the client conﬁguration routine:

DCE Configuration Menu

selection: 3 (DCE Client)

4. dce_conﬁg asks if you want to remove all remnants of previous DCE

conﬁgurations. If you are conﬁguring this system for the ﬁrst time or

have previously run Remove, answer n. Otherwise, answer y.

5. Enter the host name of your cell's security server:

What is the name of a Security Server running in the cell

you wish to join? sec_server_node

S:****** Starting dced...

S:****** Initializing dced...

6. After starting and initializing the Security client daemon,
