addent — Create key manually

Synopsis

addent (-key | -password) -p principal -k kvno -e enctype
                  

The addent command adds an entry to the keylist manually. All parameters to addent are required. The encryption key associated with the new entry can be specified either by a hexadecimal key or by a password that is run through string2key to produce an encryption key. Ktadmin will prompt for the key or password.

The second parameter specifies that principal that is to be added to the keylist. If no realm is specified with the principal name, the default realm is assumed. The remaining parameters specify the key version number and encryption type to be associated with this entry.

Example

To create a new keylist entry for the principal blah@WEDGIE.ORG, with a key version number of 1 and using a DES key derived from a password string:

ktutil:  addent -password -p blah@WEDGIE.ORG -k 1 -e des
Password for blah@WEDGIE.ORG:
