  2. If you don't want to use the default values, specify new ones.

    The Login window automatically fills in with default values. The default principal name is determined by taking your current identity from the USER environment variable and appending /admin to it (username/admin). The default Realm and Master KDC fields are selected from the /etc/krb5/krb5.conf file. If you ever want to go back to the default values, click Start Over.


    Note -

    The administration operations that the principal name can perform are dictated by the Kerberos ACL file, /etc/krb5/kadm5.acl. See "Using the SEAM Tool With Limited Kerberos Administration Privileges" for information about limited privileges.


  3. Enter a password for the specified principal name.

  4. Click OK.

    The following window is displayed.
