Name

delete — Deleting principals

Synopsis

delete principal-name
                     

The delete command deletes a principal from the Kerberos database. Note that deleting a principal does not automatically delete it from various access control lists that the principal may be listed on. If a principal is readded with the same name as one that is deleted, then the new principal will inherit all of the privileges of the old principal.

The delete command requires that the administrator have delete permission on the principal he is deleting.

Example

kadmin> delete jgarman
kadmin>
