Sections
kpropd.ini stores configuration parameters important to propagation.
This file contains the following sections:
• The [default_values] section controls the various global
propagation properties.The listed valuesapply to all securityservers
unless you override the defaults by specifying different values in the
[secsrv_name] section for a given security server.
• The [secsrv_name] section lists each security server in accordance to
your propagation hierarchy. The listed values apply only to the
specified server, where secsrv_name is the fully qualified domain
name of the security server.You must configure the [secsrv_name]
section for each security server in your realm in order to:
— Identify its parent-child relationships in the propagation
hierarchy
— Override one or more default values for a given server. This is an
optional parameter.
Given below is a brief description of the kpropd.ini file sections:
[default_values] section
You cannot override the interval, service_name, or primary_realm
values that you set in the default section. In other words, the values you
set for these parameters in the default section override any different
values you assign to them in the subsequent [secsrv_name] sections.
interval = n [s|m|h|d] Specifies how often to propagate database
changes to the other security servers, where n,
indicates the number of seconds, minutes, hours, or
days. The default value is 15 seconds (15s). The default
unit is seconds.
