| ### Configuring Security Replicas Security replicas help provide improved cell performance and reliability. To configure a security replica, perform the following steps: 1. At the Additional Server Configuration menu, type 8 and press <Return>. The dce_config script displays: Enter the security replica name (without subsys/dce/sec) : (hostname) 2. Type the name to be assigned to the Security replica and press <Return> . Note that the default, hostname in parentheses, is replaced with the actual name of the host machine. The replica is created in the subsys/dce/sec directory. If this is the first time you have configured a Security replica on the machine, the dce_config script prompts: What is the name of this cell (without /.../): 3. Type the name of the machine's cell and press <Return>. If the machine has not been configured as a DCE client machine, dce_config will configure it as a DCE client. If it does this it will display the following message: S:****** Configuring client... See the steps 1 through 4 in Configuring DCE Clients for instructions on how to configure a client. After you complete client configuration if necessary, the dce_config script displays the following messages as it creates and starts the replica on the local machine: S******: Configuring Security Replication Modifying acls on /.:/sec/replist ... Modifying acls on /.:/subsys/dce/sec ... Modifying acls on /.:/sec ... Modifying acls on /.: ... Modifying acls on /.:/cell-profile ... Then, dce_config prompts for the replica's keyseed: Enter keyseed for initial database master key: 4. Type in the text string for the keyseed, which is a temporary DES key that is used to generate the replica's master key (the key that the replica will use for account key creation). Press <Return>. The text you enter should not be easily guessed. Note that it is not displayed as you type it. The dce_config script creates and starts the security replica and displays: start slave security server (secd) ... The dce_config returns the Additional Server Configuration menu. ###
