KERBEROS [TIMEOUT]
(privileged)
Syntax
Description
This privileged command specifies the number of seconds that a key distribution
center (KDC) request can be outstanding before being timed out. The access
server will first retransmit an outstanding request after a 1-second retransmit
timer, again after a 2-second retransmit timer, doubling each time, then a 4-second
retransmit timer, and so forth, until the request is fulfilled either by the KDC or
until the KERBEROS TIMEOUT period is reached. If there is more than one KDC
for a realm, the retransmit timer is not doubled until the request is retransmitted
to all the KDCs for the realm.
Keywords
TIMEOUT seconds
The TIMEOUT value specifies the maximum amount of elapsed time the user
may wait for the operation to be completed, or to fail with a timeout error
message. The allowable range for the TIMEOUT is 1 to 64 seconds; the default
value is 2 seconds.
INTERVAL seconds
The valid range for INTERVAL is 1 to 20 seconds, with a default of 2 seconds.
KERBEROS USER PASSWORD (KPASSWD)
(secure)
Syntax
Description
This command allows you to change your Kerberos password. If a user name is
not specified on the command line, the access server will prompt you for the user
name. The principal name can also be used, which is made up of the user name,
instance, and realm. A Ctrl/Z will cause the port’s user name to be used as the
default.
Before a password can be changed, the access server will first prompt you for the
old password and the new password. The access server will ask you to verify the
new password and will not echo the entered passwords.
