Conﬁguring DCE Cells

Using the DCE Conﬁguration Tool

Figure 2-1 DCE Main Menu

From this menu you can conﬁgure your system as a DCE client or client

system.

Conﬁguring a DCE Client (Client-Only System)

A DCE client can not be conﬁgured without a functional DCE cell. In

other words, when you conﬁgure your machine as a DCE client, the

DCE cell that you are going to conﬁgure needs to be up and running.

You need to know the name of the cell and the names of the systems

that the DCE servers (Security, CDS and DTS) reside.

Before preceding with the DCE Client conﬁguration, ensure that the

HOSTS.NET.SYS ﬁle in your machine contains the IP addresses for the

systems that are running as Servers. When complete, follow the

description in the “Startup the DCE Configuration” menu to bring

up the DCE main menu.

The following steps enable you to add your machine as a DCE client

node:

1. Select “1. Configure Client” from the DCE Main Menu.

2. Respond to the questions as shown in Figure 2-2.
