Correct Syntax for Setting and Modifying a Principal's Password Expiration Time.

["Matt Proud" <matt.proud.list@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am running Heimdal 0.7.1, and I am having some trouble using the
kadmin's principal modification mechanisms when it pertains to
password expiration dates.

I have seen that when adding a principal that the time can be set in
"YYYY-MM-DD [HH:MM:SS]" format from the "add" command. I would like
the granularity of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, but kadmin complains that the
syntax is wrong when I use this.

When 'add --pw-expiration-time=2006-12-23 13:00:00 principal,' kadmin
wants to add two principals: 13:00:00 and principal.

When "add --pw-expiration-time='2006-12-23 13:00:00' principal," it
complains that it cannot parse the value properly:
Unable to parse time "'2006-12-23"
Print date on format YYYY-mm-dd [hh:mm:ss]
kadmin: unable to parse `'2006-12-23'
kadmin: adding 13:00:00': Operation not permitted

When 'add --pw-expiration-time="2006-12-23 13:00:00" principal,' it
complains that it cannot parse the value properly:
Unable to parse time ""2006-12-23"
Print date on format YYYY-mm-dd [hh:mm:ss]
kadmin: unable to parse `"2006-12-23'
kadmin: adding 13:00:00": Operation not permitted

When 'add --pw-expiration-time=2006-12-23\ 13:00:00' principal,' it
attempts to add two principals: 13:00:00 and principal.

I have the same problem when modifying a principal, too. Can somebody
enlighten me on what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,

Matt
