kas delete - Deletes an entry from the Authentication Database

kas delete << -name <name of user >>> << [-admin_username <admin principal to use for authentication] >>> << [-password_for_admin <admin password] >>> << [-cell <cell name] >>> << [-servers <explicit list of authentication servers+] >>> [-noauth] [-help]

kas d << -na <name of user >>> << [-a <admin principal to use for authentication] >>> << [-p <admin password] >>> << [-c <cell name] >>> << [-s <explicit list of authentication servers+] >>> [-no] [-h]

kas rm << -na <name of user >>> << [-a <admin principal to use for authentication] >>> << [-p <admin password] >>> << [-c <cell name] >>> << [-s <explicit list of authentication servers+] >>> [-no] [-h]

The kas delete command removes from the Authentication Database the user entry named by the -name argument. The indicated user becomes unable to log in, or the indicated server becomes unreachable (because the Authentication Server's Ticket Granting Service module no longer has a key with which to seal tickets for the server).

Names the Authentication Database entry to delete. Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details, see the kas(8) manpage. Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is omitted (as recommended), the kas command interpreter prompts for it and does not echo it visibly. For more details, see the kas(8) manpage. Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see the kas(8) manpage. Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to establish a connection. For more details, see the kas(8) manpage. Assigns the unprivileged identity CWanonymous to the issuer. For more details, see the kas(8) manpage. Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

The following example shows the administrative user CWadmin entering interactive mode to delete three accounts.

   % kas
   Password for admin:
   ka> delete smith
   ka> delete pat
   ka> delete terry

The issuer must have the CWADMIN flag set on his or her Authentication Database entry.
