User Commands kpasswd(1)
NAME
kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]
DESCRIPTION
The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's
password. kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password,
which is used to obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for
the user's Kerberos realm. If kpasswd successfully obtains
the changepw ticket, the user is prompted twice for the new
password, and the password is changed.
If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the
length and/or number of character classes required in the
new password, the new password must conform to the policy.
(The five character classes are lower case, upper case,
numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
principal Change the password for the Kerberos principal
principal. Otherwise, the principal is derived
from the identity of the user invoking the
kpasswd command.
FILES
/tmp/ovsecadm.xxxxxx Temporary credentials cache for the
lifetime of the password changing
operation. (xxxxxx is a random
string.)
