+<h2>DESCRIPTION<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>kadmind starts the Kerberos administration server. kadmind typically
+runs on the master Kerberos server, which stores the KDC database. If
+the KDC database uses the LDAP module, the administration server and
+the KDC server need not run on the same machine. kadmind accepts
+remote requests from programs such as <a class="reference internal" href="kadmin_local.html#kadmin-1"><em>kadmin</em></a> and
+<a class="reference internal" href="../../user/user_commands/kpasswd.html#kpasswd-1"><em>kpasswd</em></a> to administer the information in these database.</p>
+<p>kadmind requires a number of configuration files to be set up in order
+for it to work:</p>
+<dl class="docutils">
+<dt><a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><em>kdc.conf</em></a></dt>
+<dd>The KDC configuration file contains configuration information for
+the KDC and admin servers. kadmind uses settings in this file to
+locate the Kerberos database, and is also affected by the
+<strong>acl_file</strong>, <strong>dict_file</strong>, <strong>kadmind_port</strong>, and iprop-related
+settings.</dd>
+<dt><a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kadm5_acl.html#kadm5-acl-5"><em>kadm5.acl</em></a></dt>
+<dd>kadmind&#8217;s ACL (access control list) tells it which principals are
+allowed to perform administration actions. The pathname to the
+ACL file can be specified with the <strong>acl_file</strong> <a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><em>kdc.conf</em></a>
+variable; by default, it is <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><em>LOCALSTATEDIR</em></a><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/krb5kdc</span></tt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/kadm5.acl</span></tt>.</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>After the server begins running, it puts itself in the background and
+disassociates itself from its controlling terminal.</p>
+<p>kadmind can be configured for incremental database propagation.
+Incremental propagation allows slave KDC servers to receive principal
+and policy updates incrementally instead of receiving full dumps of
+the database. This facility can be enabled in the <a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><em>kdc.conf</em></a>
+file with the <strong>iprop_enable</strong> option. Incremental propagation
+requires the principal <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kiprop/MASTER\&#64;REALM</span></tt> (where MASTER is the
+master KDC&#8217;s canonical host name, and REALM the realm name). In
+release 1.13, this principal is automatically created and registered
+into the datebase.</p>

+<h2>OPTIONS<a class="headerlink" href="#options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<dl class="docutils">
+<dt><strong>-r</strong> <em>realm</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the realm that kadmind will serve; if it is not
+specified, the default realm of the host is used.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-m</strong></dt>
+<dd>causes the master database password to be fetched from the
+keyboard (before the server puts itself in the background, if not
+invoked with the <strong>-nofork</strong> option) rather than from a file on
+disk.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-nofork</strong></dt>
+<dd>causes the server to remain in the foreground and remain
+associated to the terminal. In normal operation, you should allow
+the server to place itself in the background.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-proponly</strong></dt>
+<dd>causes the server to only listen and respond to Kerberos slave
+incremental propagation polling requests. This option can be used
+to set up a hierarchical propagation topology where a slave KDC
+provides incremental updates to other Kerberos slaves.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-port</strong> <em>port-number</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the port on which the administration server listens for
+connections. The default port is determined by the
+<strong>kadmind_port</strong> configuration variable in <a class="reference internal" href="../conf_files/kdc_conf.html#kdc-conf-5"><em>kdc.conf</em></a>.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-P</strong> <em>pid_file</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the file to which the PID of kadmind process should be
+written after it starts up. This file can be used to identify
+whether kadmind is still running and to allow init scripts to stop
+the correct process.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-p</strong> <em>kdb5_util_path</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the path to the kdb5_util command to use when dumping the
+KDB in response to full resync requests when iprop is enabled.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-K</strong> <em>kprop_path</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the path to the kprop command to use to send full dumps
+to slaves in response to full resync requests.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-k</strong> <em>kprop_port</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the port by which the kprop process that is spawned by kadmind
+connects to the slave kpropd, in order to transfer the dump file during
+an iprop full resync request.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-F</strong> <em>dump_file</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies the file path to be used for dumping the KDB in response
+to full resync requests when iprop is enabled.</dd>
+<dt><strong>-x</strong> <em>db_args</em></dt>
+<dd>specifies database-specific arguments. See <a class="reference internal" href="kadmin_local.html#dboptions"><em>Database Options</em></a> in <a class="reference internal" href="kadmin_local.html#kadmin-1"><em>kadmin</em></a> for supported arguments.</dd>
