You can modify the default values used for new principals
using the Principal Information window (Figure 8-2 “Principal
Information Window”). Each realm has a default group, and the default
group for the realm contains default values.
The values that you specify for the default group are inherited
by all new principals in that realm. A default group is similar
to a template that controls the settings for a new principal. This
template is called default@REALM. When a new realm is created, this template is automatically
added to the principal database.
While adding or editing a single principal, you can elect
to override the default values of the group. If the default values
set during installation are not what you commonly use for new principals,
edit the default group for the realm. When you edit the template
settings, settings for the previously created principals are not
changed.

In the Group Information window,

You can also edit the default group by selecting the default@REALM principal from the List of Principals list box
in the Principals tab. In the Principals tab, click Edit to open the Principal Information
window, and enter the value for all the fields in the General, Password,
and Attributes tabs.
