Extracting a Service Key Table

Extracting a Service Key Table

You can extract the key for a service principal to the service key table (v5srvtab) by using the Extract Principal Key to Service Key Table window. Because a service does not enter the password using the keyboard, you must store its secret key in a table. When this service is invoked, the key is obtained from the table.

Choose Principal Information>Edit and select the Extract to Service Key Table option to display the Extract Service Key Table window. (Figure 8-9).
