NAME

6       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

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.
18
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
