Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 2.0

Configuring HP-UX DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
Chapter 656
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 system(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,
dce_config asks for the name of a node with which it can
synchronize the clock on this node: Enter < RETURN> to get the
default (the master security machine in the cell).
Enter a machine to synchronize with: (sec_server_node)
<RETURN>
