Last Updated : Oct 05, 2021 |

About this task

After you edit the Kerberos configuration file, import the .keytab file that was generated on the Windows domain controller. You need to use the ktutility utility to manage the Kerberos .keytab file.

Procedure

  1. Log in to AE Services command line interface as a root user.
  2. In the command prompt, run the following command:

    /usr/kerberos/sbin/ktutil

  3. To read the .keytab file with the ktutility utility, in the ktutil command prompt, run the following command:

    rkt aeserver.keytab

    The utility reads the .keytab file and displays the ktutil command prompt.

  4. To add the imported key to the Kerberos configuration file, run the following command:

    wkt /etc/krb5.keytab

  5. To exit the utility, enter q.
  6. In the command prompt, run the following command: kinit.

    This utility obtains and caches the Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the domain controller used for requesting access tokens to specific resources on the domain.
