Creating host principals for Windows® 2000 and Windows XP workstations

 

You must create the host principals that Kerberos uses to authenticate the PC users. If you are already in i5/OS® PASE, skip steps 1 and 2. Complete these steps to create the host principals for the workstations:

  1. In a character-based interface, enter call QP2TERM at the command line. This command opens an interactive shell environment that allows you to work with i5/OS PASE applications.

  2. At the command line, enter export PATH=$PATH:/usr/krb5/sbin. This command points to the Kerberos scripts that are necessary to run the executable files.

  3. At the command line, enter kadmin -p admin/admin, and press Enter.

  4. Sign in with administrator's password. For example, secret.

  5. At the kadmin prompt, enter addprinc -pw secret1 host/pc1.myco.com. This creates a host principal for John Day's PC.

  6. At the kadmin prompt, enter addprinc -pw secret2 host/pc2.myco.com. This creates a host principal for Karen Jones' PC.

  7. Enter quit to exit the kadmin interface.
