Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 1.9

Chapter 8

Notes on Cell Administration

Enhanced CDS Browser

Editing CDS ACL Entries

Menu options allow you to control user access to the following CDS components:

• Clearinghouses

• Directories

• Object entries

• Soft links

You can view, edit, or delete CDS permissions on speciﬁed components. The CDS permissions are read, write,

insert, delete, test, control, and administer.

Editing DCE Options

Menu options enable you to display and set the following CDS options:

• Use of cache data

• Authenticated/unauthenticated access

• Trust of all servers

• Data conﬁdence level

• Communication time-out limit

• Cache data time-out limit

You can also set defaults for these options, and can toggle conﬁrmation of non-destructive dialogs.

Manage Replica Locations

You can create a replica of a directory, change the location of a master replica, display information about a

replica, and delete a replica from a clearinghouse.

You can log in to DCE, either as yourself or as another user, when you need authentication to perform actions.

If you lose authentication during an HP CDS Browser session, you can log in to DCE without exiting the

browser.

User Interface Enhancements

Icons

When the Browser starts, an icon representing the root directory is the ﬁrst item to be displayed in the

window. Directories, soft links, and object entries all have distinct icons associated with them. The icons are

described in the CDS Browser online help in the Online Reference topic under the heading "HP CDS Browser

Icons".

For information about how the icons were created and how they can be modiﬁed, see the cdsbrowser (1m)

manpage.
