.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I kadmind
|
||
|
|
is the network database server for the Kerberos password-changing and
|
||
|
|
administration tools.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Upon execution, it fetches the master key from the key cache file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-m
|
||
|
|
option is specified, it instead prompts the user to enter the master
|
||
|
|
key string for the database.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B \-n
|
||
|
|
option is a no-op and is left for compatibility reasons.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-r
|
||
|
|
.I realm
|
||
|
|
option is specified, the admin server will pretend that its
|
||
|
|
local realm is
|
||
|
|
.I realm
|
||
|
|
instead of the actual local realm of the host it is running on.
|
||
|
|
This makes it possible to run a server for a foreign kerberos
|
||
|
|
realm.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-f
|
||
|
|
.I filename
|
||
|
|
option is specified, then that file is used to hold the log information
|
||
|
|
instead of the default.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-d
|
||
|
|
.I dbname
|
||
|
|
option is specified, then that file is used as the database name instead
|
||
|
|
of the default.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-a
|
||
|
|
.I acldir
|
||
|
|
option is specified, then
|
||
|
|
.I acldir
|
||
|
|
is used as the directory in which to search for access control lists
|
||
|
|
instead of the default.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-h
|
||
|
|
option is specified,
|
||
|
|
.I kadmind
|
||
|
|
prints out a short summary of the permissible control arguments, and
|
||
|
|
then exits.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-i
|
||
|
|
option is specified,
|
||
|
|
.I kadmind
|
||
|
|
will only listen on that particular address and not on all configured
|
||
|
|
addresses of the host, which is the default.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When performing requests on behalf of clients,
|
||
|
|
.I kadmind
|
||
|
|
checks access control lists (ACLs) to determine the authorization of the client
|
||
|
|
to perform the requested action.
|
||
|
|
Currently four distinct access types are supported:
|
||
|
|
.TP 1i
|
||
|
|
Addition
|
||
|
|
(.add ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may add new
|
||
|
|
principals to the database.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
Retrieval
|
||
|
|
(.get ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may retrieve
|
||
|
|
database entries. NOTE: A principal's private key is never returned by
|
||
|
|
the get functions.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
Modification
|
||
|
|
(.mod ACL file). If a principal is on this list, it may modify entries
|
||
|
|
in the database.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
Deletions
|
||
|
|
(.del ACL file). If a principal is on this list, if may delete
|
||
|
|
entries from the database.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
A principal is always granted authorization to change its own password.
|
||
