Creating a Keytab File on Linux

On Linux platforms, the services.keytab file is created as follows:

1. In a shell window, use kadmin.local to start the Kerberos administration command-line tool.

2. Use the addprinc command to add the principal to Kerberos.

3. Use the ktadd command to generate the services.keytab file for the principal.

   For example, to create a services.keytab file for the host named mysrvr.marklogic.com, do the following:

   Copy

   $ kadmin.local
   > addprinc -randkey HTTP/mysrvr.marklogic.com
   > ktadd -k services.keytab HTTP/mysrvr.marklogic.com
   

4. Copy the services.keytab from the Linux Kerberos server to the MarkLogic Server data directory on your MarkLogic Server.
