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,

Tyson Owald
