This procedure shows you how to propagate the Kerberos database by using the kprop command. Use this procedure if you need to synchronize a slave KDC with the master KDC outside the periodic cron job. And, unlike the kprop_script, you can use kprop to propagate just the current database backup without first making a new backup of the Kerberos database.
Become superuser on the master KDC.
(Optional) Back up the database by using the kdb5_util command.
# /usr/sbin/kdb5_util dump /var/krb5/slave_datatrans |
Propagate the database to a slave KDC by using the kprop command.
# /usr/lib/krb5/kprop -f /var/krb5/slave_datatrans slave_KDC |
If you want to back up the database and propagate it to a slave KDC outside the periodic cron job, you can also use the kprop_script command as follows:
# /usr/lib/krb5/kprop_script slave_KDC |
