 NAME

   dced_keytab_create - Creates a key table with a list of keys
                        (server passwords) in a new file on a
                        specific host

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/dced.h>

   void dced_keytab_create( dced_binding_handle_t  dced_bh,
                            dced_entry_t           *keytab_entry,
                            dced_key_list_t        *keys,
                            error_status_t         *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   dced_bh
       Specifies the dced binding handle for the keytab service on
       a specific host.

   Input/Output

   keytab_entry
       Specifies the keytab entry to create for dced.

   keys
       Specifies the list of keys to be written to the key table file.

   Output

   status
       Returns the status code from this routine.  This status code
       indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if
       not, why not.  The possible status codes are:

            error_status_ok
            db_s_bad_header_type
            db_s_bad_index_type
            db_s_bad_index_type
            db_s_iter_not_allowed
            db_s_key_not_found
            db_s_readonly
            db_s_store_failed
            dced_s_already_exists
            dced_s_bad_binding
            dced_s_import_already_exists
            dced_s_need_privacy
            rpc_s_binding_has_no_auth

 DESCRIPTION

   The dced_keytab_create() routine creates a new key table file on
   a specific host, and it generates the associated keytab service
   entry in dced.  This routine is used by management applications
   to remotely create a key table.  Servers typically create their
   own key table locally using the sec_key_mgmt_set_key routine.
   However, if several servers on different hosts share the same
   principal, each host requires a local copy of the key table.

   If a key table that you want to add to the keytab service already
   exists on the host, you can add it to the service by calling
   dced_entry_add().  This routine creates a new keytab service
   entry by associating the existing key table file with a new UUID
   in dced.

   Prior to calling the dced_keytab_create() routine, the
   application must have established a valid dced binding handle
   to the keytab service by calling either the dced_binding_create()
   or dced_binding_from_rpc_binding() routine.
