The dcecp keytab Command and Keytab Files

The dcecp keytab command can also be used to manipulate encryption keys in keytab files. The following dcecp keytab operations are used to manage keytab files:

add
Adds keys to a keytab file and, optionally, to the Registry Database

catalog
Lists the names of all keytab files on a machine

create
Creates a keytab file

delete
Deletes an entire keytab file or, optionally, just the keys in a keytab file

remove
Removes keys from a keytab file

show
Lists the keys in a keytab file

These operations perform functions similar to those of their counterparts in the bos command suite. Whereas the analogous bos commands require that you be included in the admin.bos list on the machine whose keytab file you wish to manage, these operations require that you have the necessary ACL permissions. (See the OSF DCE Command Reference for more information about the dcecp keytab command.)
