6.3 Setting Runtime Credentials

The Runtime Admin name and Runtime Admin password are stored in the OES Credential Store, which is later used by the DHCP Server for eDirectory authentication. The Runtime Admin credentials are stored with root (install user) and dhcpd user permissions. There can only be one Runtime User credential for DHCP stored in OES Credential Store.

NOTE:In cluster setup, Runtime Credentials must be set on all the nodes in the DHCP cluster.

To set the runtime credentials, execute the following command:

oescredstore -s -n dhcp-ldap -u <username> -p <password>

For example, to set the credentials of the runtime admin dhcpadmin, execute the following command:

oescredstore -s -n dhcp-ldap -u cn=dhcpadmin,o=novell -p Password
