The objectid.dat file

The objectid.dat file maps global object identifiers, such as the one for the DCE service (“1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.1”) to local names, such as “dce”. The file contains sections such as [CHARSET] for character sets and [SECURITY] for security services. Of interest here is the security section. Following is a sample objectid.dat file:

[secmech]
       1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.1   = dce
       1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.3   = NTLM
       1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.6   = csfkrb5

You need to change this file only if you have changed the local name of a security service in the libtcl.cfg file. Use a text editor to edit the file.

For example, if you changed

[SECURITY]
dce=libsdce.so secbase=/.../svrsole4_cell

to

[SECURITY]
dce_group=libsdce.so secbase=/.../svrsole4_cell

in libtcl.cfg, then you need to change the objectid.dat file to reflect the change. Simply change the local name in the line for DCE in objectid.dat:

1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.1   = dce_group

NoteYou can specify only one local name per security mechanism.
