Administering the Kerberos Server
Principal Database Utilities
Chapter 8224
Principal Database Utilities
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 lists the global database tasks and the tools used to
perform each task.
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
