Loading the Kerberos Database

Loading the Kerberos Database

The kdb_load utility loads the database with the principal entries from a database dump text file. This utility overrides the existing database entries with the corresponding entries present in the dump file. Principals in the existing database that are absent in the dump file are not changed or removed.

HP recommends that you run the kdb_load utility on the primary security servers only. If the propagation is configured correctly, kdb_load securely copies the database entries to each secondary security server present on your network.

The general syntax for loading the Kerberos database is as follows:

kdb_load [-f filename]

The kdb_dump utility uses the following options: -f filename

-e enctype

•3DES or 5: DES-CBC-MD5 (default)

•DES-MD5 or 3: DES-CBC-MD5

•DES-CRC or 1: DES-CBC-CRC

NOTE

Following is an example of using kdb_load:

shell% kdb_dump -f <filename>
