kpasswd
kpasswd(1) User Commands kpasswd(1)
NAME
kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]
DESCRIPTION
The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password. kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password, which is used to
obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for the user's Kerberos realm. If kpasswd successfully obtains the changepw ticket, the user is
prompted twice for the new password, and the password is changed.
If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the new
password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other charac-
ters.)
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
principal
Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal. Otherwise, the principal is derived from the identity of the user invoking
the kpasswd command.
FILES
/tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx
Temporary credentials cache for the lifetime of the password changing operation. (xxxxxx is a random string.)
