kadminremote

kadminremote is a command-line utility used in Kerberos network authentication systems. It allows an administrator to remotely manage Kerberos databases and principals from a client machine. This utility connects to the Kerberos administration server, typically running on a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC), to perform administrative tasks. Common operations include adding, deleting, or modifying user accounts (principals), changing passwords, and managing policies. kadminremote relies on the Kerberos protocol to ensure secure communication between the client and the server, authenticating the administrator before allowing any database modifications. It is a fundamental tool for maintaining the integrity and security of a Kerberos realm. The exact syntax and available commands can vary slightly depending on the specific Kerberos implementation, but the core functionality remains consistent. It provides a convenient way to manage Kerberos resources without requiring direct physical access to the KDC.
