13 The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
14 kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password, which is used to
15 obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for the user's Kerberos realm. If
16 kpasswd successfully obtains the changepw ticket, the user is prompted
17 twice for the new password, and the password is changed.

19
20 If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length
21 and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the
22 new password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes
23 are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other charac‐
24 ters.)
25
27 The following operand is supported:
28
29 principal Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal.
30 Otherwise, the principal is derived from the identity of
31 the user invoking the kpasswd command.
32
33
35 /tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx Temporary credentials cache for the lifetime
36 of the password changing operation. (xxxxxx is
37 a random string.)
