Client not found in kerberos database while initializing kadmin Interface

When I tried to create Principal ("prabhat/admin") in Kerberos (Kadmind Server) using the addprinc command. 

kadmin -q "addprinc prabhat/admin"

I got the following error

Authenticating as principal prabhat/admin with password.

In order to create principals in Kadmin server, first you will have to create a principal using kadmin.local command, 

kadmin.local -q "addprinc user1/admin"
kadmin.local -q "list_principals"

will give a list of principals, that will help you to get authenticated.

Now, you can use user1/admin as an authorized principal to create further principals, without using kadmin.local

kadmin -p user1/admin -q "addprinc user2/admin"
