Administering the Kerberos Database
After you have installed and configured the Kerberos server v3, the
Kerberos database contains the default Kerberos principals, their keys,
and other administrative information about each of these principals for
your realm. For more information on installing your Kerberos server, see
Chapter 2, “Installing the Kerberos Server v3.1,” on page 35.
You can use the Kerberos database utilities, kadmin_ui and kadmin, to
globally manage the principals and their utilities. The kadmin_ui utility
is the remote graphical user interface, and kadmin is the command-line
interface.
The HP Kerberos Administrator is the graphical user interface that you
can use to manage your principals and realms. This includes both the
remote administrator, kadmin_ui, and the local administrator,
kadminl_ui. This chapter contains a detailed description of both the
utilities.
The remote command-line administrator, kadmin, contacts the Kerberos
database, kadmind, for Kerberos authentication whereas the local
administrator, kadminl, does not require a server for authentication.
kadminl runs only on the primary security server where the Kerberos
database is located. The Kerberos daemon, kadmind, is required for
Kerberos authentication.
