OPTIONS
Specifies whether the database for the master replica should be created
(-master) or a database for a slave replica should be created (-slave).
All other sec_create_db options can be used with the -master option.
Only the -myname, -keyseed, and -verbose options can be used with the
-slave option. Specifies the name that will be used by the Directory
Service to locate the machine on which the cell's Security Server is
running. Specifies the principal name of the initial privileged user
of the registry database (known as the "registry creator"). Specifies
the UNIX ID of the initial privileged user of the registry database.
If you do not enter the UNIX ID, it is assigned dynamically. Specifies
the starting point for UNIX IDs automatically generated by the Security
Service when groups are added with the rgy_edit command. Specifies a
character string used to seed the random key generator in order to cre‐
ate the master key for the database you are creating. It should be
string that cannot be easily guessed. The master key is used to
encrypt all account passwords. Each instance of a replica (master or
slave) has its own master key. You can change the master key using the
sec_admin command. Specifies the highest UNIX ID that can be assigned
to a principal, group, or organization. Specifies the starting point
for UNIX IDs automatically generated by the Security Service when orga‐
nizations are added with the rgy_edit command. The default password
assigned to the accounts created by sec_create_db, including the
account for the registry creator. If you do not specify a default
password, -dce- is used. (Note that the hosts/local_host/self none
none, krbtgt/cell_name none none, and nobody none none accounts are not
assigned the default password, but instead a randomly generated pass‐
word.) Specifies the starting point for UNIX IDs automatically gener‐
ated by the Security Service when principals are added with the
rgy_edit command. Specifies the cell's UUID. If you do not enter this
UUID, it is assigned dynamically. Specifies that sec_create_db runs in
verbose mode and displays all activity.
DESCRIPTION
The sec_create_db tool creates new master and slave databases in dcelo‐
cal/var/security/rgy_data on the machine from which sec_create_db is
run. Normally, these databases are created only once by the system
configuration tool, dce_config. However, you can use sec_create_db if
you need to re-create the master or a slave databse from scratch. You
must be root to invoke sec_create_db.
The sec_create_db-master option creates the master database on the
machine on which it is run. This database is initialized with names
and accounts, some of them reserved. You must use the rgy_edit command
to populate the database with objects and accounts.
When the master registry database is created, default ACL entries for
registry objects are also created. These entries give the most privi‐
leged permission set to the principal named in the -cr[eator] option.
If the principal is not one of the reserved names and accounts,
sec_create_db adds it as a new principal and adds an account for that
new principal. If the -cr option is not used, root is the creator.
The sec_create_db-slave option creates a slave database on the machine
on which it is run. This command creates a stub database on the local
node in dcelocal/var/security/rgy_data and adds the newly created
replica to the master's replica list. The master then marks the
replica to be initialized when a Security Server is started on the
slave's node.
The sec_create_db command also creates a registry configuration file,
named dcelocal/etc/security/pe_site, that contains the network address
of the machine on which the database is created. This file supplies
the binding address of the secd master server if the Naming Service is
not available.
FILES
The file containing the network address of the machine on which the
security database is created. The directory in which the registry
database files are stored.
