Loading the Kerberos Database

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

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

The general syntax for this is:

kdb_load [-f filename]

The kdb_dump utility uses the following options:

-f filename Specifies the database dump text file to copy into the database.

Given below is an example of using the kdb_load:

shell% kdb_dump -f <filename>
