ipa-rmkeytab: Remove a kerberos principal from a keytab
NAME
ipa-rmkeytab - Remove a kerberos principal from a keytabSYNOPSIS
ipa-rmkeytab [ -p principal-name ] [ -k keytab-file ] [ -r realm ] [ -d ]DESCRIPTION
Removes a kerberos principal from a keytab.Kerberos keytabs are used for services (like sshd) to perform kerberos authentication. A keytab is a file with one or more secrets (or keys) for a kerberos principal.
A kerberos service principal is a kerberos identity that can be used for authentication. Service principals contain the name of the service, the hostname of the server, and the realm name.
ipa-rmkeytab provides two ways to remove principals. A specific principal can be removed or all principals for a given realm can be removed.
All encryption types and versions of a principal are removed.
The realm may be included when removing a specific principal but it is not required.
NOTE: removing a principal from the keytab does not affect the Kerberos principal stored in the IPA server. It merely removes the entry from the local keytab.
OPTIONS
- -p principal-name
- The non-realm part of the full principal name.
- -k keytab-file
- The keytab file to remove the principal(s) from.
- -r realm
