Hi folks,
I'm new to kerberos, and I'm trying to figure out how
to invoke kadmin from a web-based script, without prompting for
the root/admin password. (FWIW, this is part of an account-
migration scheme. Users will authenticate with their NIS
credentials, then the script will create a kerberos principal
for them.)
I realize that I could just use "kadmin -w" and stick
the password in plaintext into the script, but I'd rather not
have to do that. Is there a more secure way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
