From the DCE Conﬁguration Menu, you can choose to conﬁgure any of the following

items by typing the number associated with your selection at the selection prompt:

• Selection 1, Initial Cell Configuration, lets you conﬁgure the master

• Selection 2, Additional Server Configuration, lets you conﬁgure the

following servers:

— Replicas of the master Security server

— Replicas of the initial CDS server

— DTS servers

— DFS System Control Machine

• Selection 3, DCE Client , lets you conﬁgure DCE client machines for all

components except DFS.

• Selection 4, DFS Client, lets you conﬁgure DFS client machines.

The remainder of this subsection takes you through the steps to perform each type of

conﬁguration available from the DCE Conﬁguration Menu. Note that in the sample

output, the DCE_DISPLAY_THRESHOLD environment variable is set to the default,

SUMMARY, therefore dce_conﬁg displays only Error, Warning, and Summary

messages.

See Chapter 10 for more information about controlling message logging.

8.6.1 The Initial Privileged User

When you conﬁgure the master Security server, you create an account for the initial

privileged user of the registry database, login to that account, and are authenticated as

the privileged user. If you exit from the dce_conﬁg script, re-invoke it, and choose

Configure from the main menu, you will be prompted to log in as this privileged user.

Additionally, at other points in the conﬁguration process, you may be prompted to

reauthenticate as the privileged user.
