142 This command has the following aliases:
150 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
151 Adds one or more aliases to the given principal.
153 There are two types of aliases: hard, and soft.
154 A soft alias is an alias of a principal of the form
155 .Ar WELLKNOWN/REFERRALS/TARGET@target_realm
157 .Ar WELLKNOWN/REFERRALS/TARGET/arbitrary-component@target_realm .
158 A hard alias is an alias of any normal principal, even if in a
161 Hard aliases are treated as distinct principals sharing
162 attributes and keys with their canonical principals.
163 If a client requests canonicalization of a hard alias name, the
164 KDC will use the canonical name in the ticket issued as long as
165 the alias and canonical names are in the same realm.
166 Conversely, if a client does not request canonicalization, or if
167 the hard alias and the canonical name have different realms, then
168 the KDC will issue a ticket for the alias name.
170 Soft aliases can only be used to configure the production of
171 referrals by the KDC.
172 When a client requests a ticket for a principal that turns out to
173 be a soft alias, the KDC will respond with a referral to the
174 alias' canonical name's realm.
176 Soft aliasing compares favorably to using
180 soft aliases may be managed via the
186 sub-commands rather than having to edit the KDC's configuration
187 file and having to restart the KDC.
189 There are two methods for configuring the issuance of referrals
190 for entire namespaces of hostnames.
191 A soft alias of the form
192 .Ar WELLKNOWN/HOSTBASED-NAMESPACE/service/namespace-fqdn@REALM
195 below) will cause all requests for host-based principals in the
196 given namespace to be referred to the given realm.
197 Alternatively, the KDC will issue referrals for all host-based
198 service principals whose hostname component matches a
202 file referring to a different realm.

213 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
214 Adds a new namespace of virtual host-based or domain-based
215 principals to the database, whose keys will be automatically
216 derived from base keys stored in the namespace record, and which
217 keys will be rotated automatically.
218 The namespace names are of the same form as host-based principal
220 .Ar service/hostname@REALM
221 and these will match all host-based or domain-based service names
222 where hostname component of such a principal ends in the labels
223 of the hostname in the namespace name.
225 The service name component may be a wild-card (underscore,
227 in which case it will match any service.
230 .Ar bar.baz.example@BAZ.EXAMPLE
232 .Ar host/foo.bar.baz.example@BAZ.EXAMPLE
234 .Ar host/foobar.baz.example@BAZ.EXAMPLE .
236 Note well that services are expected to
238 or otherwise re-fetch their keytabs at least as often as one
239 quarter of the key rotation period, otherwise they risk not
240 having keys they need to decrypt tickets with.

302 Removes some enctypes from a principal; this can be useful if the
303 service belonging to the principal is known to not handle certain
309 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
310 Deletes the named principal's keys of the given kvno. If a kvno is
311 not given then this deletes all the named principals keys that are
312 too old to be needed for decrypting tickets issued using those keys
313 (i.e., any such tickets are necessarily expired). The determination
314 of "too old" is made using the max-ticket-life attribute of the
315 principal; though in practice that max ticket life is also constrained
316 by the max-ticket-life of the client principals and the krbtgt
317 principals, those are not consulted here.

365 optionally appended with an equal sign

368 slightly between short and long output.

519 Run the password quality check function locally.
520 You can run this on the host that is configured to run the kadmind
521 process to verify that your configuration file is correct.
522 The verification is done locally, if kadmin is run in remote mode,
523 no rpc call is done to the server. NOTE: if the environment has
524 verify-password-quality configured to use a back-end that stores
525 password history (such as heimdal-history), running
526 verify-quality-password will cause an update to the password
527 database meaning that merely verifying the quality of the password
528 using verify-quality-password invalidates the use of that
529 principal/password in the future.

556 Renames a principal. This is normally transparent, but since keys are
557 salted with the principal name, they will have a non-standard salt,
558 and clients which are unable to cope with this will fail. Kerberos 4

566 Check database for strange configurations on important principals. If
