I installed Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism on Solaris 8 and configured it based on the install procedure. I have the kdc and kdc.master daemons running. When I enter kadmin -p kws/admin
I get Database Error! Requried KADM5 principal missing while initialing kadmin interface.
When you run kadmin.local and list the principals in your database (getprincs), does kws/admin appear?
"kws/admin" was given in the documentation as an EXAMPLE, its not automatically put in the DB. The reader is supposed to create an admin principal for themselves.
Example - if your normal user principal is "tyson", you should create a principal called "tyson/admin" for administrative duties.

I am vrey baffeled by this error. I see very few references to it on groups.google.com or even docs.sun.com. The only ones I find give no information on what the problem is or how to resolve it. I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this problem.
At first I thought it had something to do the kadm5.acl, but those acconnts exist in my keytab. One thing to note, my krb5.conf got destroyed so I created a new one, which actually solved some other issues I was having.
btw, kadmin.local works fine.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you,
