Note it will prompt for your password, in order to generate the keytab. {% callout "The old way" %} The former recipe was to start `ktutil`, then type the following three lines into the prompt and confirm the first two steps with your password. ```bash -add_entry -password -p USERNAME@CERN.CH -k 1 -e arcfour-hmac-md5 -add_entry -password -p USERNAME@CERN.CH -k 1 -e aes256-cts -wkt USERNAME.keytab +cern-get-keytab --user USERNAME --keytab USERNAME.keytab ``` and close the `ktutil` prompt with `Ctrl+D`. This would create a file called USERNAME.keytab in the current directory.
