Ensure keytab file has the required key (UNIX and Linux)

Add the service principal key generated in the Key Distribution Center to the credentials information stored in the keytab file on the HCL OneDB™ host computer, and then validate that all necessary credentials are stored in this file.

Before you begin

Before you can complete this task, verify that you comply with the following prerequisites:

Procedure

  1. Add the service principal key to the keytab file on the KDC computer.
  2. Transfer the file to the keytab file for the DBMS, typically a separate computer hosting HCL OneDB.
