•Assigning administrative permissions.

•Modifying the default group principals.

•Extracting principals to service key table files.

•kadminl_ui –The local administrator.

•kadmin_ui – The remote administrator.

The local administrator, kadminl_ui, is available only on the primary security server, and is located in the /opt/krb5/admin/kadminl_ui directory.

You can install the remote administrator, kadmin_ui, on secondary security servers and clients to permit remote administration of the principal database. The kadmin_ui remote administrator is located in the /opt/krb5/bin/kadmin_ui directory on the secondary security servers and clients.

You must use kadminl to add the first administrative principal, before you can use kadmin from a secondary security server or client.

You need not log on as an admin principal to the local administrator. A user with root access to the primary security server can run kadminl.
