I am trying to reproduce the "don't need to enter a password" behavior
of kadmin.local and I can't seem to get it to work. If I just run
kadmin.local with no parameters, it eventually calls
kadm5_init_with_password with a default root/admin@FOO.COM principal,
null password and service name, and the default initialized params
structure with just the realm in it.
I have almost 100% copied kadmin.c into a separate program, and I call
kadm5_init_with_password with the exact same parameters, but my version
fails and kadmin.local's doesn't (mine fails because root/admin isn't a
valid krb account, but if I enter a valid admin princ it prompts for a
password, and kadmin.local doesn't prompt or error on a valid or invalid
principal). I must be missing something stupid, but I can't figure out
what it is, the calls seem identical.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
