Manual kprop:NAMEkprop - propagate a Kerberos V5 principal database to a slave server
SYNOPSISkprop [-r realm] [-f file] [-d] [-P port] [-s keytab] slave_host
DESCRIPTIONkprop is used to propagate a Kerberos V5 database dump file from the master Kerberos server to a slave Kerberos
server, which is specfied by slave_host. This is done by transmitting the dumped database file to the slave server
over an encrypted, secure channel. The dump file must be created by kdb5_util, and is normally KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE
(/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans).
OPTIONS-r realm
specifies the realm of the master server; by default the realm returned by krb5_default_local_realm(3) is
used.
-f file
specifies the filename where the dumped principal database file is to be found; by default the dumped
database file is KPROP_DEFAULT_FILE (normally /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans).
-P port
specifies the port to use to contact the kpropd server on the remote host.
-d prints debugging information.
-s keytab
specifies the location of the keytab file.
