Deleting a Service Principal
The Kerberos server requires several specific principals. If you
accidentally delete these principals, you must restore the principal
database from a backup tape.
To delete a service principal that has a random key extracted to the
service key table, remove the entry from the v5srvtab service key table
file by completing the following steps:
Step 1. Log on to the host system where the service is located, or connect to the
remote host using the telnet
<host_name>
command.
Step 2. Launch the remote administrator, HP Kerberos Administrator, and log
on using a principal account that has the required administrative
permissions.
Step 3. In the HP Kerberos Administrator window, choose the Principals tab.
Step 4. In the Realm text box, select the realm that contains the service
principal to be deleted.
Step 5. Select the principal name to be deleted in the List of Principals list box.
Step 6. Click Delete to delete the principal.
The following warning message is displayed:
Do you really want to delete principal
<principal_name>
?
Step 7. Click Yes to delete the principal.
The principal is automatically deleted from the List of Principals list box.
To remove the entry of the principal from the key table, v5srvtab, use
the ktutil tool. For more information on ktutil, type man 1 ktutil at
the HP-UX prompt.
