.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This utility provides a unified administration interface to the
|
|
Kerberos master database. Kerberos administrators use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to register new users and services to the master database, and to
|
|
change information about existing database entries, such as changing a
|
|
user's Kerberos password. A Kerberos administrator is a user with an
|
|
.Dq admin
|
|
instance whose name appears on one of the Kerberos administration
|
|
access control lists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Supported options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl p Ar principal
|
|
This is the adminstrator principal to use when talking to the Kadmin
|
|
server. The default is taken from the users environment.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar realm
|
|
This is the default realm to use for transactions. Default is the
|
|
local realm.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar username
|
|
This is similar to
|
|
.Fl p ,
|
|
but specifies a name, that gets appended with a
|
|
.Dq admin
|
|
instance.
|
|
.It Fl T Ar timeout
|
|
To prevent someone from walking up to an unguarded terminal and doing
|
|
malicious things, administrator tickets are destroyed after a period
|
|
of inactivity. This flag changes the timeout from the default of one
|
|
minute. A timeout of zero seconds disables this functionality.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Historically
|
|
.Nm
|
|
destroyed tickets after every command; this flag used to stop this
|
|
behaviour (only destroying tickets upon exit). Now it's just a synonym
|
|
for
|
|
.Fl T Ar 0 .
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Use existing tickets (if any are available), this also disbles
|
|
timeout, and doesn't destroy any tickets upon exit.
|
|
|
|
These tickets have to be for the changepw.kerberos service. Use
|
|
.Nm kinit -p
|
|
to acquire them.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program communicates over the network with the
|
|
.Nm kadmind
|
|
program, which runs on the machine housing the Kerberos master
|
|
database, and does the actual modifications to the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When you enter the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command, the program displays a message that welcomes you and explains
|
|
how to ask for help. Then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
waits for you to enter commands (which are described below). It then
|
|
asks you for your administrator's password before accessing the
|
|
database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All commands can be abbreviated as long as they are unique. Some
|
|
short versions of the commands are also recognized for backwards
|
|
compatibility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Recognised commands:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It add_new_key Ar principal
|
|
Creates a new principal in the Kerberos database. You give the name of
|
|
the new principal as an argument. You will then be asked for a maximum

finally the password of the principal.
|
|
.It change_password Ar principal
|
|
Changes a principal's password. You will be prompted for the new
|
|

|
|
.It change_key Ar principal

This is the same as change_password, but the password is given as a
|
|
raw DES key (for the few occations when you need this).

|
|
Changes your own admin password. It will prompt you for you old and
|
|
new passwords.
|
|
.It del_entry Ar principal
|
|

|
|
.It get_entry Ar principal

|
|
The user interface is primitive, and the command names could be
|
|
better.
