NAME
kdb5_ldap_util - Kerberos configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
kdb5_ldap_util [-D user_dn [-w passwd]] [-H ldapuri] command [command_options]
DESCRIPTION
kdb5_ldap_util allows an administrator to manage realms, Kerberos services and ticket
policies.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
-r realm
Specifies the realm to be operated on.
-D user_dn
Specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of the user who has sufficient rights to
perform the operation on the LDAP server.
-w passwd
Specifies the password of user_dn. This option is not recommended.
-H ldapuri
Specifies the URI of the LDAP server.
By default, kdb5_ldap_util operates on the default realm (as specified in krb5.conf(5))
and connects and authenticates to the LDAP server in the same manner as :ref:kadmind(8)`
would given the parameters in dbdefaults in kdc.conf(5).
COMMANDS
create
