The DCE EXPORT utility allows you to create an OpenVMS authorization file from an existing DCE registry. The DCE registry entries (or a subset of the registry entries) are converted into records in the OpenVMS SYSUAF file and rights database. Conversions are essentially a reversal of those made with the IMPORT function. Passwords cannot be exported. Instead, the automatic synchronization feature that occurs during integrated login is used to export user passwords. The DCE EXPORT utility also creates and maintains an exclude list. The exclude list contains the DCE names of users who do not have, and do not require, an OpenVMS account. This feature allows DCE EXPORT to skip over these users during EXPORT operations. NOTE: The DCE EXPORT utility described in this section cannot be satisfied by the export function shipped with OSF DCE because of substantial differences between OpenVMS and UNIX user registry data.
