hprop takes a principal database in a specified format and converts it into a stream of Heimdal database records. This stream can either be written to standard out, or (more commonly) be propagated to a
hpropd(8) server running on a different machine.
If propagating, it connects to all
hosts specified on the command by opening a TCP connection to port 754 (service hprop) and sends the database in encrypted form.
Supported options:
-m file, --master-key=file
Where to find the master key to encrypt or decrypt keys with.
-d file, --database=file
The database to be propagated.
--source=heimdal|mit-dump|krb4-dump|kaserver
Specifies the type of the source database. Alternatives include:
heimdal
a Heimdal database
mit-dump
a MIT Kerberos 5 dump file
krb4-dump
a Kerberos 4 dump file
kaserver
an AFS kaserver database
-k keytab, --keytab=keytab
The keytab to use for fetching the key to be used for authenticating to the propagation daemon(s). The key kadmin/hprop is used from this keytab. The default is to fetch the key from the KDC database.
-R string, --v5-realm=string
Local realm override.
-D, --decrypt
The encryption keys in the database can either be in clear, or encrypted with a master key. This option transmits the database with unencrypted keys.
-E, --encrypt
This option transmits the database with encrypted keys.
-n, --stdout
Dump the database on stdout, in a format that can be fed to hpropd.
The following options are only valid if
hprop is compiled with support for Kerberos 4 (kaserver).
-r string, --v4-realm=string
v4 realm to use.
-c cell, --cell=cell
The AFS cell name, used if reading a kaserver database.
-S, --kaspecials
Also dump the principals marked as special in the kaserver database.
-K, --ka-db
Deprecated, identical to ‘--source=kaserver'.
