That hprop command requires special keytab to work should be documented

Open macrotex opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

When trying to replicate from a master to a slave, in old versions of Heimdal (say, 1.5) I used to be able to do something like this:

my-master% hprop my-slave.example.com

That no long works. It gives the error hprop: krb5_get_init_creds: Failed to find kadmin/[email protected] in keytab HDBGET: (unknown enctype)

What does work now is the following:

  1. On the master export the credentials for kadmin/hprop to a file, say /root/kadmin.keytab.
  2. Run the command hprop -k /root/kadmin_hprop.keytab my-slave.example.com

This behavior should be documented in the man page for hprop. That is, if hprop requires that the kadmin/hprop credentials be exported before running, then this should be documented.
