While windows tools like 'ktpass' can be used for keytab management, using QAS scripts and tools allows us to ensure they will work as expected including our ability to support and correct any errors that occur. It is strongly recommended to utilize QAS tools when creating, modifying or managing keytabs. Anytime a keytab and service account requires validation, modification or creation this script can be used. This would include the Mod Auth Vas solution for Apache, SSO for SAP and SAS scenarios.
