12.2. Delegating Host Management

Hosts are delegated authority over other hosts through the host-add-managedby command. This creates a managedby entry. Once the managedby entry is created, then the host can retrieve a keytab for the host it has delegated authority over.

Log in as the admin user.
```
# kinit admin
```
Add the managedby entry. For example, this delegates authority over client2 to client1.
```
# ipa host-add-managedby client2.example.com --hosts=client1.example.com
```

Obtain a ticket as the host client1 and then retrieve a keytab for client2:

# kinit -kt /etc/krb5.keytab host/`hostname`
# ipa-getkeytab -s `hostname` -k /tmp/client2.keytab -p host/client2.example.com
Keytab successfully retrieved and stored in: /tmp/client2.keytab
