You can extract the key for a service principal to the service
key table (v5srvtab) by using the Extract Principal Key to Service
Key Table window. Because a service does not enter the password
using the keyboard, you must store its secret key in a table. When
this service is invoked, the key is obtained from the table.
Choose Principal Information>Edit and
select the Extract to Service Key Table option
to display the Extract Service Key Table window. (Figure 8-9 “Extract
Service Key Table Window”).
Table 8-13 “Extract Service Key Table Components” describes the components
in the Extract Service Key Table window.
Table 8-13 Extract Service Key Table Components
| Component | Description |
|---|
| Principal | Displays the name of the principal for
which you are extracting a key. |
| Service Key Table Type | Identifies the type of key table into which
the principal name and keys are extracted. |
| Service Key Table Name | Displays the default location and name of the service
key table. Type a new service key table name in this box to use
a service key table other than the default v5srvtab file. If you change the default name, also edit
the KeyTab environment variable setting on the host of the
service. |
| File | Selects a new path or name for the service
key table file. |
| Generate New Random
Key before Extracting | Generates a new random service key for the principal
before extracting it to a service key table. HP recommends that
you use this option for high security. |
