About DCE Nodes
Each managed node running the DCE OVO agent and each management
server must be member of a DCE cell. The initial cell member must be a
DCE server system. This step configures the DCE cell administrator
cell_admin, who plays an important role in all further DCE
configuration.
Configuring a Node to Run in a DCE Cell
To configure a node to run in a DCE cell, use the DCE utility
dce_config, which provides a menu-driven configuration of the local
node. Run this utility on each node you intend to use for DCE
authenticated RPC. OVO nodes that are not also DCE server systems
have to be set up as client nodes. For details, see the DCE installation
manuals.
To Configure DCE Nodes to use Authenticated RPCs
To configure the OVO management server and managed nodes to use
authenticated RPCs, follow these steps:
1. Verify servers and nodes.
Make sure that a DCE server system is set up. Make sure that the
management server and each managed node are members of a DCE
cell managed by this DCE server system.
To add a node to a DCE cell, run the DCE utility dce_config locally
on each of the nodes to be added.
2. Login.
As UNIX user root, log in as the DCE user cell_admin, and execute
the following command:
dce_login cell_admin
This command opens a new shell with a DCE login context.
3. Set up the management server.
On the management server, run the following script:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/install/opc_sec_register_svr.sh -s
