Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 1.9

Chapter 6
Configuring HP-UX DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config

When planning a DCE cell, note that you must configure a CDS client on any Security server system that is
not running a CDS server. You must also configure a Time client on any system that is not running a Time
server. Be sure to configure these clients only after you have configured all servers.
Client configuration is discussed in "Configuring Client Systems: Security, CDS, and DTS" later in this
chapter.

4. If this is your very first cell configuration, or if you have previously run REMOVE, answer n to the
following question. If you are reconfiguring a cell, answer y:
Do you want to first remove all remnants of previous DCE configurations for all components (y/n)?
You should do so only if you plan on reconfiguring all existing DCE components now: (n)
5. Enter a cell name:
Enter the name of your cell (without /...), xyz.abc.com

S:****** Since the glbd daemon was restarted and/or llbd and rpcd were replaced by the endpoint
mapper, NCS applications may need to be restarted.
6. At the following prompt, enter any string and press < RETURN>.
Enter keyseed for initial database master key:
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:
