2235.0. "moving security registry from one server to another" by QUABBI::"[email protected]" (David Tan) Mon Apr 28 1997 21:30

Hi,
	I have been trying to access TUXEDO::DCE-PRODUCTS for a few days now,
but every time was getting 'remote node not currently reachable', very
frustrating! so I am trying this avenue:

	I know next to nothing about DCE/OpenVMS, in fact, no one from the VMS
support in our CSC knew anything, so please don't dismiss this simple
question:  can you move an existing security registry from one server to
another?  notes 2123 and 1749 appeared to touch on this subject, but I
can't get to it.

2235.1any dce database that can be copied?GIDDAY::TANThu May 01 1997 04:0922
Hi,
	Please help a DCE novice!

	What the customer really want to do is to be able to copy the
organisation, group, principal and account information in a registry
from one cell on one VMS/DCE to a different cell on a different VMS/DCE,
is this do-able?

	I read in one of the previous notes (2159.5) which suggested, for
a DCE/UNIX at least, the following should work:

	- 'dcesetup stop' and 'dcesetup clean'
	- tar /opt/dcelocal/subtree to the destination machine
	- untar above, and re-install DCE
	- dcesetup start

If this is the right procedure for UNIX, is there one for VMS, viz, is
there a DCE database file that we can move to the new server?

	Thanks for any assistance.

Note 2159.5 dealt with servers in the same cell.  You are asking about
copying a database between two different cells.  This is not possible
because the database has cell-specific information in it as it was not
designed to be portable.  There may be third party products that might
do what you want, but I don't know of any.
