Administering the CADMIN Object System

Administering the CADMIN Object System

This chapter describes the administration of the cadmin object system. This object system provides utilities for system administration in the Indigo Magic user environment, which is available only on graphics workstations. If you do not have a graphics workstation, or if you do not have this environment enabled on your workstation, you cannot use this system.

The cadmin object system should be considered distinct from the cadmin tools it supports. Your primary resource for using the cadmin system administration tools is the Personal System Administration Guide. This chapter describes only the administration that can be performed on the cadmin software itself, not the use of the cadmin software to administer your system. Information about the cadmin system is also available in the release notes that came with your system (or your most recent system software upgrade) and through the desktop help utilities on your system.

Topics covered in this chapter include:

A system overview of cadmin. See "The cadmin Object System".
Information on manipulating the cadmin system. See "Starting the cadmin Daemons", and "Stopping the cadmin Daemons".
Troubleshooting the objectserver daemon. See "Troubleshooting the Objectserver".
Troubleshooting the directoryserver daemon. See "Troubleshooting the Directoryserver".
