Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 1.9

Conﬁguring HP-UX DCE Cells

Conﬁguring Cells Using dce_conﬁg

• DOMAIN_NAME: The name of the host's Internet domain for use in a fully qualiﬁed host name. Used as a

default when conﬁguring a Kerberos client if /etc/resolv.conf does not already contain a domain

name. It is appended to the host name to get the fully qualiﬁed name in this format:

host_name.domain_name (for example: if DOMAIN_NAME=foo.bar.com and host name=abc, the fully

qualiﬁedhost name will be abc.foo.bar.com).

• DTS_TZ: Determines the time zone rule (details are system dependent). For example, the user selects the

time zone by using and setting DTS_TZ.

• EXIT_ON_ERROR: Set to y to exit from dce_config if a fatal error is encountered. Default is n. This can

prevent a here-document from getting out-of-sync with dce_config.

• GID_GAP: Increment above highest currently-used GID at which the Registry Service will start assigning

automatically-generated GIDs. Default is 100.

• HOST_NAME_IP: IP address of node on which dce_config is running.

• HPDCE_DEBUG: Set to 1 starts daemons in the foreground.

• KEYSEED: Key seed for initial database master key.

• LAN_NAME: Internal name of the LAN (in the LAN proﬁle) when using multiple LANs. Use when

conﬁguring a CDS server.

• LOG_THRESHOLD: Minimum priority log messages from dce_config that are written to

/var/opt/dce/config/dce_config.log. Default: DEBUG (all messages). ERROR, WARNING, and

SUMMARY messages are always logged. Possible values, in priority order: ERROR, WARNING, SUMMARY,

DETAIL, VERBOSE, DEBUG.

• LOW_GID: Value at which the Registry Service will start assigning automatically-generated GIDs. Default

is the value of the highest currently used GID plus $GID_GAP. If $LOW_GID is less than or equal to the

highest currently used GID, a warning is issued, and user is prompted to enter a new value (which can be

the value of $LOW_GID).

• LOW_UID: Value at which the Registry Service will start assigning automatically-generated UIDs. Default

is the value of the highest currently used UID plus $UID_GAP. If $LOW_UID is less than or equal to the

highest currently used UID, a warning is issued, and user is prompted to enter a new value (which can be

the value of $LOW_UID).

• MULTIPLE_LAN: Set to y to conﬁgure this node with multiple LAN capability. Use when conﬁguring a CDS

server. Default is n.

• NTP_HOST: Host name on which the NTP server is running.

• REMOTE_ADMIN: If you set the variable REMOTE_ADMIN to y (using a command such as "export

REMOTE_ADMIN=y") before you run dce_config or dcm on an HP-UX DCE 1.9 system, then dced is started

with the command dced -b -r and /etc/rc.config.d/dce is updated to include DCED_SWITCHES= -r.

You can also set REMOTE_ADMIN in the config.env ﬁle if you run dce_config non- interactively.

• REMOVE_PREV_INSTALL: Set to y to remove all remnants of previous DCE installations for all components

before installing a security server. Use only in installing the security server software. Default is n.

• REMOVE_PREV_CONFIG: Set to y to remove all remnants of previous DCE conﬁgurations for all components

before conﬁguring a client or an initial CDS server. Default is n.

• REP_CLEARINGHOUSE: Name for new clearinghouse.

• SEC_SERVER: Name of the security server for this cell.

• SEC_SERVER_IP: IP address for $SEC_SERVER.
