Configuring and Unconfiguring a Password Management Server

Password Management servers enable administrators to exert greater control over users' selection of passwords than that provided by DCE standard policy. You can create a password management server to enforce your cell's password-strength and password-generation requirements, or you can enhance the sample password management server provided with DCE.

For information on creating and administering your own password management servers, see OSF DCE Application Development Guide - Core Components.

To configure a password management server, type 10 at the Additional Server Configuration menu, and press <Return>. The dce_config script displays the following messages as it configures the password management server:

S:****** Configuring Password Management Server...
S:****** Successfully configured Password Management Server.

dce_config then returns to the Additional Server Configuration menu.

To unconfigure a password management server, type 11 at the Additional Server Configuration menu, and press <Return>. The dce_config script displays the following messages as it unconfigures the password management server:

S:****** Unconfiguring Password Management Server...
S:****** Successfully unconfigured Password Management Server.

dce_config then returns to the Additional Server Configuration menu.
