kdb_edit(8krb) kdb_edit(8krb) Name kdb_edit - Kerberos database editing utility Syntax /var/dss/kerberos/bin/kdb_edit [-n] Description You use the command to create or change principals stored in the Kerberos database. When you invoke kdb_edit, the command prompts you for the Kerberos database master key and verifies that the key is the same as the master key of the Kerberos database. If the -n option is used, the key is fetched from the master key file. Once the master key is verified, kdb_edit begins a loop that prompts you for the principal and instance name to modify. If kdb_edit does not find an entry, you can create one. Once kdb_edit finds or creates an entry, you can set the password, expiration date, maximum ticket lifetime, and attributes of a principal. The kdb_edit command displays, in brackets, the default values for the expiration dates, maximum ticket lifetimes, and attributes. You can select any default by pressing the return key. The kdb_edit command indicates that you have successfully created or changed an entry by displaying the message, "Edit O.K." There is no default password for a principal. However, if you enter RANDOM as the password for a principal, kdb_edit selects a random Data Encryption Standard (DES) key for the principal. Whenever the Kerberos database is changed by the modification time of is updated. The file indicates the age of the database. Options -n If you specify the command with the -n option, kdb_edit fetches the key from the master key file.
