9 k5srvutil operation [-i] [-f filename] [-e keysalts]
10
12 k5srvutil allows an administrator to list keys currently in a keytab,
13 to obtain new keys for a principal currently in a keytab, or to delete
14 non-current keys from a keytab.
15
16 operation must be one of the following:
17
18 list Lists the keys in a keytab, showing version number and principal
19 name.
20
21 change Uses the kadmin protocol to update the keys in the Kerberos
22 database to new randomly-generated keys, and updates the keys in
23 the keytab to match. If a key's version number doesn't match
24 the version number stored in the Kerberos server's database,
25 then the operation will fail. If the -i flag is given, k5srvu‐
26 til will prompt for confirmation before changing each key. If
27 the -k option is given, the old and new keys will be displayed.
28 Ordinarily, keys will be generated with the default encryption
29 types and key salts. This can be overridden with the -e option.
30 Old keys are retained in the keytab so that existing tickets
31 continue to work, but delold should be used after such tickets
32 expire, to prevent attacks against the old keys.
33
34 delold Deletes keys that are not the most recent version from the
35 keytab. This operation should be used some time after a change
36 operation to remove old keys, after existing tickets issued for
37 the service have expired. If the -i flag is given, then k5srvu‐
38 til will prompt for confirmation for each principal.
39
40 delete Deletes particular keys in the keytab, interactively prompting
41 for each key.
42
43 In all cases, the default keytab is used unless this is overridden by
44 the -f option.
45
46 k5srvutil uses the kadmin(1) program to edit the keytab in place.
