Using the ktutil Utility to Create a Keytab File

Use the ktutil utility to create a keytab file.

Before you begin, get the Kerberos principal user name from the cluster administrator.

From the command line, type

ktutil

to launch the utility.

Type the following command:

addent -password -p <user name> -k 1 -e RC4-HMAC

where <user name> is the Kerberos principal user. For example:

addent -password -p myname -k 1 -e RC4-HMAC

When prompted, enter the password for the Kerberos principal user.

Type the following command to create a keytab:

wkt /tmp/keytabs/<user name>.keytab

where

/tmp/keytabs/

is the path where you want to store keytabs. For example:

wkt /tmp/keytabs/myname.keytab

Type

to quit the ktutil utility.
