Manage keytab files

Use the Keyfiles tab on the Kerberos Configuration management page in the LMI to manage these settings.

The Keyfiles tab contains settings for the keytab files used for Kerberos authentication. We can import, combine, and delete keytab files. We can also test authentication with a Kerberos principal name and keytab file.
