NAME

       ipa-rmkeytab - Remove a kerberos principal from a keytab

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-rmkeytab [ -p principal-name ] [ -k keytab-file ] [ -r realm ] [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION

       Removes a kerberos principal from a keytab.

       Kerberos  keytabs  are  used  for  services (like sshd) to perform kerberos authentication. A keytab is a file with one or more secrets (or
       keys) for a kerberos principal.

       A kerberos service principal is a kerberos identity that can be used for authentication. Service principals contain the name  of  the  ser-
       vice, the hostname of the server, and the realm name.

       ipa-rmkeytab  provides  two  ways  to  remove  principals.   A specific principal can be removed or all principals for a given realm can be
       removed.

       All encryption types and versions of a principal are removed.

       The realm may be included when removing a specific principal but it is not required.

       NOTE: removing a principal from the keytab does not affect the Kerberos principal stored in the IPA server. It  merely  removes	the  entry
       from the local keytab.

OPTIONS

       -p principal-name
	      The non-realm part of the full principal name.

       -k keytab-file
	      The keytab file to append the principal(s) from.

       -r realm
	      A realm to remove all principals for.

       -d     Debug mode. Additional information is displayed.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the NFS service principal on the host foo.example.com from /tmp/nfs.keytab.

	  # ipa-rmkeytab -p nfs/foo.example.com -k /tmp/nfs.keytab

       Remove the ldap service principal on the host foo.example.com from /etc/krb5.keytab.

	  # ipa-rmkeytab -p ldap/foo.example.com -k /etc/krb5.keytab

       Remove all principals for the realm EXAMPLE.COM.

	 # ipa-rmkeytab -r EXAMPLE.COM -k /etc/krb5.keytab
