Joining an Existing DCE Cell

Once a CDS server and a Security server have been configured to create a cell, you can configure other systems that join the cell.

You need the following information to configure your Windows system to join an existing DCE cell:

· Local host name

· Cell name

· Host name or IP address of the Security server

· Security principal account name and password authorized to perform cell administration operations (not needed if you are performing a local client configuration)

· Host name or IP address of the cell's master Directory server (if the master CDS server is not in the broadcast range or if you are performing a WAN configuration)

Note: For any host name that is not currently defined in the TCP/IP hosts database, you must also provide the IP address.
