Remote Administrator - kadmin_ui

The Remote Administrator, kadmin_ui, is the GUI based Administrator that runs on the Secondary Security Servers and the clients.

This program is used by principals with administrative privileges. It also enables administrators to maintain the database on the primary security server from their work stations on an on-going basis.

You can use kadmin_ui to:

Add, modify, specify or delete principals

Search for a principal

List administration permissions

Extract service principal information to the service key table

Add, modify, specify or delete realms

Edit the Default Group

Manage the admin_acl_file

The functionality of the kadmin_ui is identical to that of kadminl_ui. The following steps describe how to administer the Kerberos database using the kadmin_ui remotely.

Refer to “Local Administrator - kadminl_ui” on page 116, for more information.

The kadmin_ui window can be invoked by executing the following command at the command line prompt:

# /opt/krb5/bin/kadmin_ui

Step 1. You must have a principal with administrative privileges to use the kadmin_ui program.
