Manual Administration Using kadmin
Chapter 6172
We recommend that the Graphical user Interface be used for all
administrative purposes.
Add a New Principal
To add a principal to the database, use the kadmin add command. This
command requires the “add” administrative privilege to be specified in
the admin_acl_file.
This command adds a new principal with the specified name and
password to the principal database. When you add a principal using the
add command it inherits the default group principal settings for the
key type and salt types.
The general syntax for adding a new principal is:
command: add
For example, to add a principal “admin”, you would do the following:
command: add
Name of Principal to add: admin
Enter password: password
Re-enter password for verification: password
Principal added
The entire principal name, identifier/instance@REALM, cannot exceed
767 characters and the first 255 characters must be unique.
NOTE Principal names are case sensitive.
Add Random Key
The addrnd command, adds the specified principal with a randomly
generated password. This command is used for service principals.
The general syntax for adding a principal with a randomly generated
password is:
command: addrnd
For example, to add a principal “admin” with a randomly generated
password, you would do the following:
