Globally Updating Client Key Information

After changing a server's keys, you can globally update client key information for all the machines in a domain by:

  1. Use the nischttl command to reduce the Time To Live (TTL) value of the domain's directory object so that the value expires almost immediately.

    For example, if you have changed the keys for a server in the sales.doc.com. domain, to reduce the directory's TTL value to one minute you would enter:


    client% nischttl 60 sales.doc.com.
  2. When the directory's TTL value expires, the cache manager expires the entry and then obtains the new, updated information for clients.

  3. Once the directory object's TTL value has expired, reset the directory object's TTL to its default value.

    For example, to reset the TTL value to 12 hours for the sales.doc.com. domain's directory object, you would enter:


    client% nischttl 12h sales.doc.com.

    See "The nischttl Command" for more information on working with TTL values.
