Table of Contents
In addition to the Kerberos database and Key Distribution Center, there are a number of user and administrative programs that allow interaction with Kerberos. This chapter will detail the use of those programs.
The Kerberos user client programs include the following:
kinit - Obtains a Kerberos ticket-granting ticket
klist - Lists cached Kerberos tickets
kdestroy - Destroys Kerberos tickets
kpasswd - Changes a user’s Kerberos password
The Kerberos administrative client programs include the following:
kadmin and kadmin_local - Administers the Kerberos database
kdb5_util - Dumps and restores the Kerberos database
ktutil - Reads, writes, or edits entries in a Kerberos V5 keytab or V4 srvtab file
kprop - Propagates the master KDC database to slave KDCs
The symbols for these programs are defined by SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS.COM.
On OpenVMS, these programs are located in the system directory and are prefaced by KRB$; for example, SYS$SYSTEM:KRB$KINIT.EXE.
