Creating Trust Relationships

To create peer-to-peer relationships, follow these steps:

1. Run the registry connect command to create cross-cell authentication accounts (an account in your cell's registry and another account in the foreign cell's registry).

2. Optionally, use the account modify command to fine tune the attributes of the account, which were assigned by default when the account was created. For example, the account's expiration date (expdate attribute) defaults to none. You may want to enter a date to ensure that the account will be actively renewed after a period of time.

3. Ensure that the system administrator in the foreign cell changes the acctvalid flag of the account that represents your cell to yes in order to indicate that the account is valid. If one or both accounts are invalid, no cross-cell communications can take place.
