Administering the Kerberos Server
Deleting a Service Principal
|
| Deleting a Service Principal |
|
| The Kerberos server requires several specific principals. If you |
|
| accidentally delete these principals, you must restore the principal |
|
| database from a backup tape. |
|
| To delete a service principal that has a random key extracted to the |
|
| service key table, remove the entry from the v5srvtab service key table |
|
| file by completing the following steps: |
Step | 1. | Log on to the host system where the service is located, or connect to the |
|
| remote host using the telnet <host_name> command. |
Step | 2. | Launch the remote administrator, HP Kerberos Administrator, and log |
|
| on using a principal account that has the required administrative |
|
| permissions. |
Step | 3. | In the HP Kerberos Administrator window, choose the Principals tab. |
Step | 4. | In the Realm text box, select the realm that contains the service |
|
| principal to be deleted. |
Step | 5. | Select the principal name to be deleted in the List of Principals list box. |
Step | 6. | Click Delete to delete the principal. |
|
| The following warning message is displayed: |
|
| Do you really want to delete principal <principal_name>? |
Step | 7. | Click Yes to delete the principal. |
|
| The principal is automatically deleted from the List of Principals list box. |
To remove the entry of the principal from the key table, v5srvtab, use the ktutil tool. For more information on ktutil, type man 1 ktutil at the
