How to Display the Keylist (Principals) in a Keytab File

1. Become superuser on the host with the keytab file.

   ---

   Note –

   Although you can create keytab files that are owned by other users, the default location for the keytab file requires root ownership.

2. Start the ktutil command.

   # /usr/bin/ktutil

3. Read the keytab file into the keylist buffer by using the read_kt command.

   ktutil: read_kt keytab

4. Display the keylist buffer by using the list command.

   ktutil: list

   The current keylist buffer is displayed.

5. Quit the ktutil command.

   ktutil: quit
