Administering the Kerberos Server

Manual Administration Using kadmin

Before the server issues a renewable service ticket, the requesting user must possess a renewable TGT.

To modify the type of the parameter attr for the principal admin and to set the Allow Renewable attribute, type kadmin at the HP-UX prompt and specify the mod command, the principal name, the attr parameter type, and the attribute.

Following is a sample output of the Allow Renewable attribute:

Command: mod

Name of Principal to Modify: admin

Parameter Type to be Modified (attr,fcnt,vno, policy,dn or qui t) :attr

Attribute (or quit): {renewnorenew}

Principal modified.

Allow Forwardable Attribute

The Allow Forwardable attribute determines whether a principal is allowed ticket forwarding. Forwarding is a mechanism to send a TGT to a remote system, from one network host to another. On behalf of the principal, you can use the forwarded TGT to generate a new service ticket on the second host system. This eliminates the need for the user to reauthenticate and re-enter the password on the second host.

The Allow Forwardable attribute applies to both user and service principals. If this attribute is set for a user principal, you can issue a forwarded or forwardable ticket to the principal. If this attribute is set for a service principal, the server can issue a forwarded service ticket for the service.

Before the server issues a service ticket on the remote host, the requesting user must possess a forwarded TGT.

To modify the type of the parameter attr for the principal admin and to set the Allow Forwardable attribute, type kadmin at the HP-UX prompt and specify the mod command, the principal name, the attr parameter type, and the attribute.

Following is a sample output of the Allow Forwardable attribute:
