| Using Groups to Control Settings |
|
| You can modify the default values used for new principals in the |
|
| Principal Information window. These default values are stored in a |
|
| default group for the realm. Each realm has one default group. |
|
| The values 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. It is automatically added to the principal database |
|
| when a new realm is created. |
|
| When adding or editing a single principal, you may elect to override the |
|
| group’s default values. If the defaults set during installation are not |
|
| what you commonly use for new principals, then edit the default group |
|
| for the realm. Note that the settings for the previously created principals |
|
| are not changed by editing the settings for the template. |
|
| To edit the default group |
Step | 1. | In the kadminl_ui window, choose the Principals tab and select the |
|
| realm. |
Step | 2. | Click New to open the Principal Information window. |
Step | 3. | From the Edit menu, choose Edit Defaults Group. The Group |
|
| Information window appears. |
Step | 4. | Set the new default values in the General tab, the Password tab and the |
|
| Attributes tab. The fields contained in these tabs are identical to the |
|
| fields in the corresponding Principal Information tabs. |
Step | 5. | Close the Group Information window by clicking OK. |
Step | 6. | Close the Principal Information window by clicking Cancel. |
|
| You can also edit the default group by selecting the default@REALM |
|
| principal from the List of Principals on the Principals tab. Click |
|
| Edit to open the Principal Information window, and then enter the |
|
| information on the various tabs. |
