KDB_UTIL(8)KDB_UTIL(8)NAMEkdb_util - Kerberos key distribution center database utility
SYNOPSISkdb_util operation filename
DESCRIPTIONkdb_util allows the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) database
administrator to perform utility functions on the database.
Operation must be one of the following:
load initializes the KDC database with the records described by
the text contained in the file filename. Any existing data‐
base is overwritten.
dump dumps the KDC database into a text representation in the file
filename.
slave_dump
performs a database dump like the dump operation, and addi‐
tionally creates a semaphore file signaling the propagation
software that an update is available for distribution to
slave KDC databases.
new_master_key
prompts for the old and new master key strings, and then
dumps the KDC database into a text representation in the file
filename. The keys in the text representation are encrypted
in the new master key.
convert_old_db
prompts for the master key string, and then dumps the KDC
database into a text representation in the file filename.
The existing database is assumed to be encrypted using the
old format (encrypted by the key schedule of the master key);
the dumped database is encrypted using the new format
(encrypted directly with master key).
DIAGNOSTICS
"verify_master_key: Invalid master key, does not match database."
The master key string entered was incorrect.
FILES
/etc/kerberosIV/principal.pag, /etc/kerberosIV/principal.dir
DBM files containing database
