DCE configuration

[Ravi_8]

Hi all

On 11i, ihad installed DCE, today i tried to configure DCE. I opted for initial cell server setup, i got the following error.

S:****** Configuring initial Security Server...


Do you wish to first remove all remnants of
previous DCE configurations for all components (y/n)?
You should do so only if you plan on re-configuring
as a client of a different cell: (n) y

ERROR: dced -i failed to start. Continuing will return to the Main Menu.

I removed the DCE completely and reinstalled the same, now i can't see dce_config under neither /opt/dce/bin nor /opt/dcelocal/bin.

does anybody knows the solution?

thanx in advance

Ravi,
Make sure that you have the following bundles installed.

B3187B, B3188B, B6192AA

DCE daemon is dumping. Did you get any core. Check for the signal which generated the core.

check /var/opt/dce/config/dce_config.log for any any errors.

This will give some info.

Also make sure that the patches are installed.

PHSS_27258, PHSS_27259

also check /var/opt/dce/svc/fatal.log if its there.

I suppose that you have loaded the server part of DCE along with the admin utilities, not just the client part.

When making a new cell, I always had to exit dce_config after removing the remnants, and then restart dce_config to start configuring the new cell.

Hi,

after re-installinf DCE (B3187B, B3188B, B6192AA) the dce_config command under /opt/dce/bin doesn't exist.

/opt/dce/bin has only

/opt/dce/bin >ls
acctmgr dceping idl sec_create_db tclobam
cdsbrowser dcm nidl_to_idl sec_salvage_db

for the list of filesets as per the documentation.

Is there any problem with the media from which you are installing? Double check the depot for any errors.

[Alex Glennie]

your initial problem :

stcode 0x113db0ed
289255661 (decimal), 113db0ed (hex): Pre-authentication directory bad (dce / dhd) ie /var/opt/dce/security/preauth had bad perms or was missing .... there may have been some more info in /var/opt/dce/svc/*.logs.

My advise is to swremove dce filesets. Rm any remnant dirs.

re-install DCE filesets.

re-run dce-config, perform a

4. UNCONFIGURE -remove a host from CDS and SEC databases
5. REMOVE -stop DCE daemons and remove data files
created by DCE daemons

then try

CONFIGURE -configure and start DCE daemons
