Changing Principal Attributes
You can change the attributes of a principal in the Principal Information
window (Figure 8-5). These attributes are the characteristics and
properties assigned to a user or a service principal. Attributes control
how a principal behaves and what that principal can do, such as
renewing and forwarding valid tickets.
To change the principal attributes, complete the following steps:
Step 1. In the HP Kerberos Administrator window, choose the Principals tab
and select the realm of the principal.
Step 2. Click List All or Search to find the principal.
Step 3. Select the principal name from List of Principals, and click Edit to
display the Principal Information window as shown in Figure 8-2.
Step 4. Choose the Attributes tab to change the attributes for the current
principal. For more information on attributes, see “Attributes Tab
(Principal Information Window)” on page 168 and “Password Tab
(Principal Information Window)” on page 160.
Step 5. Click OK to accept the new attributes and to close the Principal
Information window.
You can use the Principal Information window>Edit>Load Default
Values option to quickly reload default values or restore previously
saved values at any time while editing a principal. When you reload
default or restored values, all the fields in the Principal Information
window tabs are reset to the default or previously saved values.
