Principal database utilities are tools that help you to globally
manage the principal database. Use these tools only if the database
was not properly created or configured during installation, or if
you are debugging or upgrading your Kerberos server.
To use the principal database utilities, you must have root user privileges. Table 8-6 “Principals Tab Components” lists the global database tasks and the tools used to perform
each task.
Table 8-19 Principal Database Utilities
| Utility | Task |
|---|
| kdb_create | Create a principal database. |
kdb_destroy | Securely remove the principal database. |
kdb_dump | Dump the principal database to stdout or to a specified text file. |
kdb_load | Load all principal names into the principal database
from an existing database dump file. |
kdb_stash | Stash the master key of the Kerberos
server. |
Principal database utilities are described in detail later
in this chapter. Export the following path before executing any
of the commands at the HP-UX command prompt:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/krb5/admin |
