KADMIN(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual		     KADMIN(8)

NAME
     kadmin -- Kerberos	administration utility

SYNOPSIS
     kadmin [-p	string | --principal=string] [-K string	| --keytab=string]
	    [-c	file | --config-file=file] [-k file | --key-file=file]
	    [-r	realm |	--realm=realm] [-a host	| --admin-server=host]
	    [-s	port number | --server-port=port number] [-l | --local]
	    [-h	| --help] [-v |	--version] [command]

DESCRIPTION
     The kadmin	program	is used	to make	modifications to the Kerberos data-
     base, either remotely via the kadmind(8) daemon, or locally (with the -l
     option).

     Supported options:

     -p	string,	--principal=string
	     principal to authenticate as

     -K	string,	--keytab=string
	     keytab for	authentication principal

     -c	file, --config-file=file
	     location of config	file

     -k	file, --key-file=file
	     location of master	key file

     -r	realm, --realm=realm
	     realm to use

     -a	host, --admin-server=host
	     server to contact

     -s	port number, --server-port=port	number
	     port to use

     -l, --local
	     local admin mode

     If	no command is given on the command line, kadmin	will prompt for	com-
     mands to process. Some of the commands that take one or more principals
     as	argument (delete, ext_keytab, get, modify, and passwd) will accept a
     glob style	wildcard, and perform the operation on all matching princi-
     pals.

     Commands include:

     add [-r | --random-key] [--random-password] [-p string |
     --password=string]	[--key=string] [--max-ticket-life=lifetime]
     [--max-renewable-life=lifetime] [--attributes=attributes]
     [--expiration-time=time] [--pw-expiration-time=time] principal...

	   Adds	a new principal	to the database. The options not passed	on the
	   command line	will be	promped	for.

     add_enctype [-r | --random-key] principal enctypes...

	   Adds	a new encryption type to the principal,	only random key	are
	   supported.

     delete principal...

	   Removes a principal.

     del_enctype principal enctypes...

	   Removes some	enctypes from a	principal; this	can be useful if the
	   service belonging to	the principal is known to not handle certain
	   enctypes.

     ext_keytab	[-k string | --keytab=string] principal...

	   Creates a keytab with the keys of the specified principals.

     get [-l | --long] [-s | --short] [-t | --terse] [-o string	|
     --column-info=string] principal...

	   Lists the matching principals, short	prints the result as a table,
	   while long format produces a	more verbose output. Which columns to
	   print can be	selected with the -o option. The argument is a comma
	   separated list of column names optionally appended with an equal
	   sign	(`=') and a column header. Which columns are printed by	de-
	   fault differ	slightly between short and long	output.

	   The default terse output format is similar to -s -o principal=,
	   just	printing the names of matched principals.

	   Possible column names include: principal, princ_expire_time,
	   pw_expiration, last_pwd_change, max_life, max_rlife,	mod_time,
	   mod_name, attributes, kvno, mkvno, last_success, last_failed,
	   fail_auth_count, policy, and	keytypes.

     modify [-a	attributes | --attributes=attributes]
     [--max-ticket-life=lifetime] [--max-renewable-life=lifetime]
     [--expiration-time=time] [--pw-expiration-time=time] [--kvno=number]
     principal...

	   Modifies certain attributes of a principal. If run without command
	   line	options, you will be prompted. With command line options, it
	   will	only change the	ones specified.

	   Possible attributes are: new-princ, support-desmd5,
	   pwchange-service, disallow-svr, requires-pw-change,
	   requires-hw-auth, requires-pre-auth,	disallow-all-tix,
	   disallow-dup-skey, disallow-proxiable, disallow-renewable,
	   disallow-tgt-based, disallow-forwardable, disallow-postdated

	   Attributes may be negated with a "-", e.g.,

	   kadmin -l modify -a -disallow-proxiable user

     passwd [-r	| --random-key]	[--random-password] [-p	string |
     --password=string]	[--key=string] principal...

	   Changes the password	of an existing principal.

     password-quality principal	password

	   Run the password quality check function locally.  You can run this
	   on the host that is configured to run the kadmind process to	verify
	   that	your configuration file	is correct.  The verification is done
	   locally, if kadmin is run in	remote mode, no	rpc call is done to
	   the server.

     privileges

	   Lists the operations	you are	allowed	to perform. These include add,
	   add_enctype,	change-password, delete, del_enctype, get, list, and
	   modify.

     rename from to

	   Renames a principal.	This is	normally transparent, but since	keys
	   are salted with the principal name, they will have a	non-standard
	   salt, and clients which are unable to cope with this	will fail.
	   Kerberos 4 suffers from this.

     check [realm]

	   Check database for strange configurations on	important principals.
	   If no realm is given, the default realm is used.

     When running in local mode, the following commands	can also be used:

     dump [-d |	--decrypt] [dump-file]

	   Writes the database in "human readable" form	to the specified file,
	   or standard out. If the database is encrypted, the dump will	also
	   have	encrypted keys,	unless --decrypt is used.

     init [--realm-max-ticket-life=string] [--realm-max-renewable-life=string]
     realm

	   Initializes the Kerberos database with entries for a	new realm.
	   It's	possible to have more than one realm served by one server.

     load file

	   Reads a previously dumped database, and re-creates that database
	   from	scratch.

     merge file

	   Similar to load but just modifies the database with the entries in
	   the dump file.

     stash [-e enctype | --enctype=enctype] [-k	keyfile	| --key-file=keyfile]
     [--convert-file] [--master-key-fd=fd]

	   Writes the Kerberos master key to a file used by the	KDC.
