You can change the ticket information used for a principal, including the

To change the ticket information, complete the following steps:

Step

1. In the Principals tab, select the Realm where the principal resides.

Step

2.

 

Click List All or Search to find the principal whose ticket information

 

 

 

you want to change.

 

 

 

See “Searching for a Principal” on page 149 for more information on how

 

 

 

to search for a principal.

Step

3.

 

Click Edit to display the Principal Information window as shown in

 

 

 

Figure 8-2.

Step

4.

 

In the General tab, change the principal expiration date using the

 

 

 

required format.

 

 

 

For more information on the date format and changing ticket

 

 

 

information, see “Rules for Setting Maximum Ticket Lifetime” on

 

 

 

page 155 and “Rules for Setting Maximum Renew Time” on page 156.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

 

 

You only need to edit the ticket lifetime for a principal if that principal

 

 

 

must have a maximum ticket lifetime shorter than the

 

 

 

krbtgt/REALM@REALM principal.

 

 

 

Step

5. Click OK to accept the new ticket information.

 

 

 

You can use the Principal Information>Edit options to quickly reload

 

 

 

default values or to restore previously saved values at any time while

 

 

 

editing a principal. When you reload default values or restore previously

 

 

 

saved values, all the fields in the Principal Information window tabs are

 

 

 

reset to the default or previously saved values.
