The Kerberos server requires several specific principals.
If you accidentally delete these principals, you must restore the
principal database from a backup tape.
To delete a service principal that has a random key extracted
to the service key table, remove the entry from the v5srvtab service key table file by completing the following
steps:
Log on to the host
system where the service is located, or connect to the remote host
using the telnet <host_name> command.
Launch the remote administrator,
HP Kerberos Administrator, and log on using a principal account
that has the required administrative permissions.
In the HP Kerberos Administrator
window, choose the Principals tab.
In the Realm text box, select
the realm that contains the service principal to be deleted.
Select the principal name to
be deleted in the List of Principals list box.
Click Delete to
delete the principal.
The following warning message is displayed:
Do you really want to delete principal <principal_name>?
Click Yes to
delete the principal.
The principal is automatically deleted from the List
of Principals list box.
To remove the entry of the principal from the key table, v5srvtab, use the ktutil tool. For more information on ktutil, type man 1 ktutil at the HP-UX prompt.
