authpolicy commands perform the same functions.
38.4.2 Adding Accounts
After a new registry database is created, it contains only the principals, groups,
organizations, and accounts that were added as initial information by sec_create_db.
Use the dcecp account create command or rgy_edit add command to add any other
names and accounts that your site requires. You can do this now or at any time later. See
Chapter 31 for information about adding accounts by using dcecp.
38.5 Creating Slave Replicas
After the master replica database has been created and started and its database has been
populated, you run dce_config at the slave sites to create the slave replicas and start
them. To create and start a slave replica, dce_config first ensures that the sites are
running dced, and the appropriate CDS servers. It then executes the following
sec_create_db command:
dcelocal/bin/sec_create_db -slave -myname my_server_name
First, the command creates a database for the new slave replica. The database consists of
only stub files. The command then locates the master replica and adds the new slave to
the master’s replica list. The master marks the new replica for initialization. Finally, the
dce_config script starts secd and ensures that it starts automatically each time the
machine reboots.
You must run dce_config to configure a slave replica at each machine where you want to
run a slave replica.
38.6 Verifying That the Replicas Are Running
After the master and slave replicas are in place and started, perform the following steps
to ensure that they are running:
1. Invoke sec_admin, as follows:
dceshared/bin/sec_admin
Default replica:/.../giverny.com/subsys/dce/sec/art_server_master
Default cell:/.../giverny.com
sec_admin>
