Add An Administrative Principal

To enable authentication, you must disable the password change requirement when you create the administrative principal account.

If you are using the kadminl_ui, go to the Attributes tab on the Principal Information Window and clear the Require Password Change checkbox. If you are using kadminl, use the mod command and set nopwchg to indicate no password change is required.

You can also disable the password change requirement by setting the NoReqChangePwd setting in the principal’s password policy file to 1.
