HP Kerberos Administrator

HP Kerberos Administrator is a graphical user interface that you can use to administer the principal database.

You can use the HP Kerberos Administrator to perform the following functions:

Following are the different types of graphical user interface administrative utilities:

The local administrator, kadminl_ui, is available only on the primary security server, and is located in the /opt/krb5/admin/kadminl_ui directory.

You can install the remote administrator, kadmin_ui, on secondary security servers and clients to permit remote administration of the principal database. The kadmin_ui remote administrator is located in the /opt/krb5/bin/kadmin_ui directory on the secondary security servers and clients.

	NOTE: You must use kadminl to add the first administrative principal, before you can use kadmin from a secondary security server or client.

You need not log on as an admin principal to the local administrator. A user with root access to the primary security server can run kadminl.

Alternatively, to log on to the remote administrator, use a principal account that has an entry in admin_acl_file. For complete access to all the functions, use an unrestricted administrative principal account with the * permissions in admin_acl_file. The account must have at least inquire privileges. For more information, see “The admin_acl_file File”.

Both the local and remote administrators are discussed in detail in this chapter.
