I just realized that there was not much in the way of context from my original message, so here is what I'm trying to do: If I want to allow the host principal for a given system to manage other hostname-based principals for the same host (to enable some kind of automation, say), based on the documentation, I would expect that an entry in kadm5.acl that looks like this: host/*@MYREALM.COM x */*1...@myrealm.com would permit: host/system1.myrealm....@myrealm.com to create: nfs/system1.myrealm....@myrealm.com or HTTP/system1.myrealm....@myrealm.com jd ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
