User Commands                                          kpasswd(1)



NAME
     kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]


DESCRIPTION
     The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's
     password. kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password,
     which is used to obtain a changepw ticket from the  KDC  for
     the  user's  Kerberos realm. If kpasswd successfully obtains
     the changepw ticket, the user is prompted twice for the  new
     password, and the password is changed.


     If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies  the
     length  and/or  number  of character classes required in the
     new password, the new password must conform to  the  policy.
     (The  five  character  classes  are  lower case, upper case,
     numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)

OPERANDS
     The following operand is supported:

     principal    Change the password for the Kerberos  principal
                  principal.  Otherwise, the principal is derived
                  from the identity  of  the  user  invoking  the
                  kpasswd command.


FILES
     /tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx    Temporary credentials cache for the
                              lifetime  of  the password changing
                              operation.  (xxxxxx  is  a   random
                              string.)
