OSF DCE Administration Guide—Introduction

7.2.3 Performing the Installations

The following subsections describe each type of installation that can be performed from

the DCE Installation Menu. For all installations, except DFS servers, optional utilities,

and DFS clients, the installation steps consist mainly of selecting the installation from

the DCE Installation Menu and answering any of the common prompts described in the

previous subsection.

The description of installing the Security server in the subsection that follows shows the

steps involved if each of the common prompts were to be displayed. The descriptions of

the other available installations do not show the common prompts.

7.2.3.1 Installing the Master Security Server

You must install one master Security server in each cell. Although you can have only

one master Security server in each cell, you can install any number of replica Security

servers. (See "Installing the Security Server Replicas" for more information.) The

machine on which you install the master Security server must be reliable and physically

secure.

In order to show all the common prompts you could receive, the installation steps in this

subsection assume that this is the ﬁrst time you have installed the DCE. When you

install a Security server, you may not receive all the prompts shown.

To install the master Security server, perform the steps listed below:

1. At the DCE Installation Menu, type 1 and press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script asks whether or not you want to remove the previous DCE

installation by displaying the following prompt:

Do you wish to first remove all remnants of

previous DCE installations for all components?

You should do so if you plan on re-installing

all existing DCE components now (n):

2. Because you are installing the master Security server for the ﬁrst time, type n and

press <RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script installs the master Security server and the DCE client

binaries, displaying what it is doing as it does it.

Then, if you are installing on an OSF/1 machine, dce_conﬁg prompts for whether

to install lib_admin, a tool to load and install and load the OSF/1 shared libraries:

Run /sbin/lib_admin? (y)

3. Type y to install the OSF/1 shared libraries or n to not and press <RETURN>.
