<h2>DESCRIPTION<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>kadmin and kadmin.local are command-line interfaces to the Kerberos V5
administration system.  They provide nearly identical functionalities;
the difference is that kadmin.local directly accesses the KDC
database, while kadmin performs operations using <a class="reference internal" href="kadmind.html#kadmind-8"><span class="std std-ref">kadmind</span></a>.
Except as explicitly noted otherwise, this man page will use “kadmin”
to refer to both versions.  kadmin provides for the maintenance of
Kerberos principals, password policies, and service key tables
(keytabs).</p>
<p>The remote kadmin client uses Kerberos to authenticate to kadmind
using the service principal <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kadmin/admin</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kadmin/ADMINHOST</span></code>
(where <em>ADMINHOST</em> is the fully-qualified hostname of the admin
server).  If the credentials cache contains a ticket for one of these
principals, and the <strong>-c</strong> credentials_cache option is specified, that
ticket is used to authenticate to kadmind.  Otherwise, the <strong>-p</strong> and
<strong>-k</strong> options are used to specify the client Kerberos principal name
used to authenticate.  Once kadmin has determined the principal name,
it requests a service ticket from the KDC, and uses that service
ticket to authenticate to kadmind.</p>
<p>Since kadmin.local directly accesses the KDC database, it usually must
be run directly on the primary KDC with sufficient permissions to read
the KDC database.  If the KDC database uses the LDAP database module,
kadmin.local can be run on any host which can access the LDAP server.</p>

<h2>OPTIONS<a class="headerlink" href="#options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<dl class="simple" id="kadmin-options">
<dt><strong>-r</strong> <em>realm</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>realm</em> as the default database realm.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-p</strong> <em>principal</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>principal</em> to authenticate.  Otherwise, kadmin will append
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/admin</span></code> to the primary principal name of the default ccache,
the value of the <strong>USER</strong> environment variable, or the username as
obtained with getpwuid, in order of preference.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-k</strong></dt><dd><p>Use a keytab to decrypt the KDC response instead of prompting for
a password.  In this case, the default principal will be
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">host/hostname</span></code>.  If there is no keytab specified with the
<strong>-t</strong> option, then the default keytab will be used.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-t</strong> <em>keytab</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>keytab</em> to decrypt the KDC response.  This can only be used
with the <strong>-k</strong> option.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-n</strong></dt><dd><p>Requests anonymous processing.  Two types of anonymous principals
are supported.  For fully anonymous Kerberos, configure PKINIT on
the KDC and configure <strong>pkinit_anchors</strong> in the client’s
<a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/krb5_conf.html#krb5-conf-5"><span class="std std-ref">krb5.conf</span></a>.  Then use the <strong>-n</strong> option with a principal
of the form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;REALM</span></code> (an empty principal name followed by the
at-sign and a realm name).  If permitted by the KDC, an anonymous
ticket will be returned.  A second form of anonymous tickets is
supported; these realm-exposed tickets hide the identity of the
client but not the client’s realm.  For this mode, use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kinit</span>
<span class="pre">-n</span></code> with a normal principal name.  If supported by the KDC, the
principal (but not realm) will be replaced by the anonymous
principal.  As of release 1.8, the MIT Kerberos KDC only supports
fully anonymous operation.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-c</strong> <em>credentials_cache</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>credentials_cache</em> as the credentials cache.  The cache
should contain a service ticket for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kadmin/admin</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kadmin/ADMINHOST</span></code> (where <em>ADMINHOST</em> is the fully-qualified
hostname of the admin server) service; it can be acquired with the
<a class="reference internal" href="../../user/user_commands/kinit.html#kinit-1"><span class="std std-ref">kinit</span></a> program.  If this option is not specified, kadmin
requests a new service ticket from the KDC, and stores it in its
own temporary ccache.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-w</strong> <em>password</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>password</em> instead of prompting for one.  Use this option with
care, as it may expose the password to other users on the system
via the process list.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-q</strong> <em>query</em></dt><dd><p>Perform the specified query and then exit.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-d</strong> <em>dbname</em></dt><dd><p>Specifies the name of the KDC database.  This option does not
apply to the LDAP database module.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-s</strong> <em>admin_server</em>[:<em>port</em>]</dt><dd><p>Specifies the admin server which kadmin should contact.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-m</strong></dt><dd><p>If using kadmin.local, prompt for the database master password
instead of reading it from a stash file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-e</strong> “<em>enc</em>:<em>salt</em> …”</dt><dd><p>Sets the keysalt list to be used for any new keys created.  See
<a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#keysalt-lists"><span class="std std-ref">Keysalt lists</span></a> in <a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><span class="std std-ref">kdc.conf</span></a> for a list of possible
values.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-O</strong></dt><dd><p>Force use of old AUTH_GSSAPI authentication flavor.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-N</strong></dt><dd><p>Prevent fallback to AUTH_GSSAPI authentication flavor.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-x</strong> <em>db_args</em></dt><dd><p>Specifies the database specific arguments.  See the next section
for supported options.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Starting with release 1.14, if any command-line arguments remain after
the options, they will be treated as a single query to be executed.
This mode of operation is intended for scripts and behaves differently
from the interactive mode in several respects:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Query arguments are split by the shell, not by kadmin.</p></li>
<li><p>Informational and warning messages are suppressed.  Error messages
and query output (e.g. for <strong>get_principal</strong>) will still be
displayed.</p></li>
<li><p>Confirmation prompts are disabled (as if <strong>-force</strong> was given).
Password prompts will still be issued as required.</p></li>
<li><p>The exit status will be non-zero if the query fails.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>-q</strong> option does not carry these behavior differences; the query
will be processed as if it was entered interactively.  The <strong>-q</strong>
option cannot be used in combination with a query in the remaining
arguments.</p>

<p>Adds a <em>principal</em>, or all principals matching <em>princ-exp</em>, to a
keytab file.  Each principal’s keys are randomized in the process.
The rules for <em>princ-exp</em> are described in the <strong>list_principals</strong>
command.</p>
<p>This command requires the <strong>inquire</strong> and <strong>changepw</strong> privileges.
With the <strong>-glob</strong> form, it also requires the <strong>list</strong> privilege.</p>
<p>The options are:</p>
<dl class="simple">
<dt><strong>-k[eytab]</strong> <em>keytab</em></dt><dd><p>Use <em>keytab</em> as the keytab file.  Otherwise, the default keytab is
