Example—Modifying a Principal's Password (Command Line)

In the following example, the change_password command of kadmin is used to modify the password for the jdb principal. The change_password command does not let you change the password to a password that is in the principal's password history.

kadmin: change_password jdb
Enter password for principal "jdb": <type the new password>
Re-enter password for principal "jdb": <type the password again>
Password for "jdb@EXAMPLE.COM" changed.
kadmin: quit

To modify other attributes for a principal, you must use the modify_principal command of kadmin.
