Destroying the Kerberos Database

Destroying the Kerberos Database

The kdb_destroy utility securely removes the principal database. This utility runs on the primary and secondary security servers. If you run this utility using the command line options, it prompts you with a conﬁrmation and then removes the default principal database, /krb5/prinicpal. To conﬁrm the request, you must type the word “yes”; else kdb_destroy returns the message “Database not destroyed”.

This tool destroys only the principal.* ﬁles. The other ﬁles that store the principal information must be handled separately. To destroy the admin_acl_file, manually delete it. To destroy the key table ﬁles, use ktutil.

To ensure that no one reads the previous contents of the database ﬁles, kdb_destroy writes zeros to the original ﬁles before it deletes them.

The general syntax for this is:

kdb_destroy [-f keyfile]

The kdb_destroy utility uses the following options:

-f keyfile Destroys an alternative key ﬁle named keyfile.

Given below is an example of using the kdb_destroy:

shell% kdb_destroy

keyfile: /opt/krb5/.k5.DCETST3.FINANCE.BAMBI.COM

Deleting KDC database stored in ‘/opt/krb5/principal’, are you sure?

(type ‘yes’ to confirm)?

Database destroyed!
