NAME

pddcesetup — configure DCE for the HPDPS

SYNOPSIS

pddcesetup [force]

DESCRIPTION

The pddcesetup command is used to configure DCE information for the HP Distributed Print Service (HPDPS).

pddcesetup must be run on each HP-UX host in your DCE cell that will execute the HPDPS in the Extended Environment. If a host will run the HPDPS in the Basic Environment only, not in the Extended Environment, then execution of pddcesetup is not needed on that host. If you do not intend to execute the HPDPS in a DCE cell, or do not wish to use DCE services in conjunction with the HPDPS, then each host must execute the HPDPS in the Basic Environment, and execution of pddcesetup is not needed on any of the hosts in your network. pddcesetup must be executed once on each host in your DCE cell that will execute an HPDPS client daemon, spooler, or supervisor in the Extended Environment. pddcesetup must be executed before starting any of these HPDPS components on that host.

The first time that pddcesetup executes in your DCE cell, it will prompt for and create various DCE security identities and CDS namespace entries that are then configured for the entire cell. On subsequent executions of pddcesetup, only local information needed by the local host is configured; the DCE security identities and CDS namespace entries have already been created for the cell.

If the parameter force is given, then pddcesetup will give you the option to fully recreate security identities and CDS directories. This option is useful if DCE has been only partially configured, or if configuration is accidentally removed after creation. If the force parameter is not given, then pddcesetup quickly checks to see if it appears the DCE information has already been configured, and if so, pddcesetup does not attempt to configure any of this information.

The host on which pddcesetup is executed must already be configured as a DCE client or server, using DCE command-line utilities or the SAM program. You must also be DCE logged in using an account with sufficient administrator privileges to modify DCE security and namespace information. The DCE login of the cell administrator for your cell is normally used for this purpose (the default DCE login name is cell_admin).

The HPDPS DCE information created by pddcesetup is:

  • Accounts adm_user and pd_server.

  • Principals adm_user and pd_server.

  • Groups pd_admin and pd_operator.

  • CDS namespace directories and links.

  • Initial Access Control List entries.

  • Local key table entries for principal pd_server.

EXAMPLES

An example execution follows. This example illustrates the execution of pddcesetup for the first time in a DCE cell.

# pddcesetup Checking whether your host is configured in a DCE cell. Verifying your DCE login. You are DCE logged in as <your login>. Checking whether HPDPS security identities have already been configured in your cell. DCE security identities needed for the HPDPS have not yet been configured in your DCE cell. The security identities that must be configured are: Accounts adm_user and pd_server Principals adm_user and pd_server Groups pd_admin and pd_operator Are you ready to configure these identities now (y/n)? y The new groups and accounts about to be created must be members of a DCE "organization". You may use an existing organization if you have already defined one. Do you wish to create a new DCE organization (y/n)? y Please enter the name of the new organization: <organization name> Creating organization <organization name>. Creating group pd_admin. Creating group pd_operator. Creating principal pd_server. Creating principal adm_user. Adding new principals to groups and organizations. pddcesetup is ready to create DCE accounts pd_server and adm_user. To accomplish this, you must enter the password for the DCE account under which you are currently logged in. If not entered correctly, an attempt to create the new accounts will generate the error message "data integrity error". Please enter the password for your current DCE login account: <password> Please choose a unique password for new account adm_user. This account will be used by HPDPS administrators. Please enter the password for account adm_user: <password> Please re-enter the password for account adm_user: <password> Creating account adm_user. Please choose a unique password for the pd_server account. This password is used by the HPDPS client daemon, spooler, and supervisor to automatically DCE login to account pd_server. Please enter the password for account pd_server: <password> Please re-enter the password for account pd_server: <password> Creating account pd_server. Creating HPDPS directories and links in the DCE CDS namespace. Creating initial HPDPS Access Control List entries. Adding entry for pd_server to the local key table. pddcesetup: DCE setup is complete.
