Using kinit to Test Communication with the Directory - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

Use the kinit utility to verify that the Teradata Vantage system or Unity server user in the directory can authenticate to the KDC. For example, for a Vantage node user:

1. From the command prompt, run the kinit utility:

   node_name: >kinit  domain_username
   Password for  domain_username@KERBEROS_REALM: <enter password>

2. From the command prompt, run klist to see if a ticket was issued:

   node_name:>klist -c

   The output is similar to:

   Ticket cache: File:/temp/krb5cc_0
   Default principal:node_name@KERBEROS_REALM 
   
   Valid starting    Expires    Service Principal

        renew until 9/21/06 11:47:23
   Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt()
   klist: You have no tickets cached
