-acctvalid
Marks the local account as a valid account. A valid local account allows users from the foreign cell to login to nodes in the local cell. The default is invalid.

-facctvalid
Marks the foreign account as a valid account. A valid foreign account allows users from the local cell to login to nodes in the foreign cell. The default is invalid.

Description
The registry connect operation creates an account in the local cell for the specified foreign cell and also creates an account in the foreign cell for the local cell. Both accounts have the same key. The argument must be the fully qualified name of a single cell. It cannot be a list or a string binding.

The -group, -org, and -mypwd options supply the account information for the local cell. The -fgroup, -forg, -facct, and -facctpwd options supply the account information for the foreign cell.

This operation creates the group and organization specified as the values of the relevant options, if necessary, and puts the relevant principal into them, if necessary. Be careful when typing. The command creates the group and organization using the exact names you supply.

If the operation fails, it removes any organization and/or group that it has created and it also removes the relevant principals. To protect the password being entered, the registry connect command can be entered only from within the dcecp program. You cannot enter this command from the operating system prompt using dcecp with the -c option.

If you do not use the -acctvalid and -facctvalid options, you must mark the accounts as valid (using the dcecp account command) before intercell access is allowed. This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
You must have a (auth_info) permission to the replist object and the permissions required to create principals, groups, organizations, and accounts in the local and foreign cells.
