How to Interactively Configure a Slave KDC

Starting with the Solaris Express Developer Edition 1/08 release, a slave KDC can be interactively configured by using the following procedure.

1. Become superuser.

2. Create the KDC.

   Run the kdcmgr utility to create the KDC. You need to provide both the master key password and the password for the administrative principal.
