I think you're going to be better off asking Redhat--particularly an
official support channel from which you have purchased Redhat--than
asking this group of volunteers.  As several people have tried to
point out to you in the past, the configuration you are trying to
deploy doesn't make much sense from a security standpoint and Kerberos
has better ways of accomplishing the goal of having several people
each with administrative access to thousands of machines.

That said, assuming you have everything else set up, you should create
the principal administrator with a password of ********.  Note that
******** is not a very secure password and would be fairly easy for an
attacker to guess.
