Identifying the principal user to the security mechanism

The security administrator for the security mechanism must define the Replication Server principal name to the security mechanism.

For DCE:

• Use the DCE dcecp tool’s user create command to create the principal user.

  When you are defining a server to DCE, use options that specify that the new principal user can act as a server.

• Use the keytab create command of the dcecp utility to create a DCE key table file, which contains a principal user’s password in encrypted form.

For CyberSafe Kerberos:

• Use the Kerberos csfadml tool to create the principal user.

• Use csfadml to extract the key table file.

For MIT Kerberos:

• Use administrative command addprinc to create principal user.

• Use administrative command ktadd to extract key table file.

Refer to documentation from the security mechanism provider for detailed information about identifying servers and users to the security mechanism.
