@section What is Kerberos and How Does it Work?

@value{PRODUCT} is based on the Kerberos authentication system developed
at MIT.  Under Kerberos, a client (generally either a user or a service)
sends a request for a ticket to the Key Distribution Center (KDC).  The
KDC creates a @dfn{ticket-granting ticket} (TGT) for the client,
encrypts it using the client's password as the key, and sends the
encrypted TGT back to the client.  The client then attempts to decrypt
the TGT, using its password.  If the client successfully decrypts the
TGT (@i{i.e.}, if the client gave the correct password), it keeps the
decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's identity.

The TGT, which expires at a specified time, permits the client to obtain
additional tickets, which give permission for specific services.  The
requesting and granting of these additional tickets is user-transparent.

@node Why Should I use Kerberos?, Please Read the Documentation, What is Kerberos and How Does it Work?, Introduction
@section Why Should I use Kerberos?

Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted,
communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it provides
a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a firewall
either client is on.  Since studies have shown that half of the computer
security breaches in industry happen from @i{inside} firewalls,
@value{PRODUCT} from @value{COMPANY} will play a vital role in the
security of your network.

As with any software package that uses a centrallized database, the
installation procedure is somewhat involved, and requires forethought
and planning.  @value{COMPANY} has attempted to make this
@value{PRODUCT} Installation Guide as concise as possible, rather than
making it an exhaustive description of the details of Kerberos.
Consequently, everything in this guide appears because @value{COMPANY}
believes that it is important.  Please read and follow these
instructions carefully, and if there is anything you do not understand
or are not sure of, please don't hesitate to call us.

@node Realm Configuration Decisions, Building Kerberos V5, Introduction, Top
@chapter Realm Configuration Decisions

Before installing @value{PRODUCT}, it is necessary to consider the
following issues:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The name of your Kerberos realm (or the name of each realm, if you need
more than one).

@item
How you will map your hostnames onto Kerberos realms.

@item
Which ports your KDC and and kadmin (database access) services will use.

@item
How many slave KDCs you need and where they should be located.

@item
The hostnames of your master and slave KDCs.

@item
How frequently you will propagate the database from the master KDC to
the slave KDCs.

@item
Whether you need backward compatibility with Kerberos V4.

@end menu

@node Kerberos Realms, Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Kerberos Realms

Although your Kerberos realm can be any ASCII string, convention is to
make it the same as your domain name, in upper-case letters.  For
example, hosts in the domain @value{SECONDDOMAIN} would be in the
Kerberos realm @value{SECONDREALM}.

If you need multiple Kerberos realms, @value{COMPANY} recommends that
you use descriptive names which end with your domain name, such as
BOSTON.@value{SECONDREALM} and SAN_FRANCISCO.@value{SECONDREALM}.

@node Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms

Mapping hostnames onto Kerberos realms is done through a set of rules in
the @code{krb5.conf} configuration file.  (@xref{krb5.conf}.)  You can
specify mappings for an entire domain or subdomain, and/or on a
hostname-by-hostname basis.  Since greater specificity takes precedence,
you would do this by specifying the mappings for a given domain or
subdomain and listing the exceptions.

@node Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Slave KDCs, Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Ports for the KDC and Admin Services

The default ports used by Kerberos are port 88 for the
KDC@footnote{Kerberos V4 used port 750.  If necessary, you can run on
both ports for backward compatibility.}  and port 749 for the admin
server.  You can, however, choose to run on other ports, as long as they
are specified in each host's @code{/etc/services} and @code{krb5.conf}
files, and the @code{kdc.conf} file on each KDC.  Because the kadmin
port was recently assigned, @value{COMPANY} recommands that you specify
it explicitly in your @code{krb5.conf} and @code{kdc.conf} files.  For a
more thorough treatment of port numbers used by the @value{PRODUCT}
programs, refer to the ``Configuring Your Firewall to Work With
@value{PRODUCT}'' section of the @cite{@value{PRODUCT} System
Administrator's Guide}.

@node Slave KDCs, Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Slave KDCs

Slave KDCs provide an additional source of Kerberos ticket-granting
services in the event of inaccessibility of the master KDC.  The number
of slave KDCs you need and the decision of where to place them, both
physically and logically, depend on the specifics of your network.

All of the Kerberos authentication on your network requires that each
client be able to contact a KDC.  Therefore, you need to anticipate any
likely reason a KDC might be unavailable and have a slave KDC to take up
the slack.

Some considerations include:

@itemize @bullet
@item
Have at least one slave KDC as a backup, for when the master KDC is
down, is being upgraded, or is otherwise unavailable.

@item
If your network is split such that a network outage is likely to cause
some segment or segments of the network to become cut off or isolated,
have a slave KDC accessible to each segment.

@item
If possible, have at least one slave KDC in a different building from
the master, in case of power outages, fires, or other localized
disasters.
@end itemize

If you have a large and/or complex network, @value{COMPANY} will be
happy to work with you to determine the optimal number and placement of
your slave KDCs.

@node Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Database Propagation, Slave KDCs, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs

@value{COMPANY} recommends that your KDCs have a predefined set of
cnames, such as @code{@value{KDCSERVER}} for the master KDC and
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE1}}, @code{@value{KDCSLAVE2}}, @dots{} for the
slave KDCs.  This way, if you need to swap a machine, you only need to
change a DNS entry, rather than having to change hostnames.

@node Database Propagation,  , Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Database Propagation

The Kerberos database resides on the master KDC, and must be propagated
regularly (usually by a cron job) to the slave KDCs.  In deciding how
frequently the propagation should happen, you will need to balance the
amount of time the propagation takes against the maximum reasonable
amount of time a user should have to wait for a password change to take
effect.  @value{COMPANY} recommends that this be no longer than an hour.

If the propagation time is longer than this maximum reasonable time
(@i{e.g.,} you have a particularly large database, you have a lot of
slaves, and/or you experience frequent network delays), you may wish to
cut down on your propagation delay by performing the propagation in
parallel.  To do this, have the master KDC propagate the database to one
set of slaves, and then have each of these slaves propagate the database
to additional slaves.

@node Installing KDCs, Installing and Configuring UNIX Client Machines, Installing Kerberos V5, Installing Kerberos V5
@section Installing KDCs

The Key Distribution Centers (KDCs) issue Kerberos tickets.  Each KDC
contains a copy of the Kerberos database.  The master KDC contains the
master copy of the database, which it propagates to the slave KDCs at
regular intervals.  All database changes (such as password changes) are
made on the master KDC.

Slave KDCs provide Kerberos ticket-granting services, but not database
access.  This allows clients to continue to obtain tickets when the
master KDC is unavailable.

@value{COMPANY}'s recommends that you install all of your KDCs to be
able to function as either the master or one of the slaves.  This will
enable you to easily switch your master KDC with one of the slaves if
necessary.  (@xref{Switching Master and Slave KDCs}.)  This installation
procedure is based on that recommendation.

@subsubsection Edit the Configuration Files

Modify the configuration files, @code{/etc/krb5.conf}
(@pxref{krb5.conf}) and @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kdc.conf}
(@pxref{kdc.conf}) to reflect the correct information (such as the
hostnames and realm name) for your realm.  @value{COMPANY} recommends
that you keep @code{krb5.conf} in @code{/etc}.  The @code{krb5.conf}
file may contain a pointer to @code{kdc.conf}, which you need to change
if you want to move @code{kdc.conf} to another location.

@node Create the Database, Add Administrators to the Acl File, Edit the Configuration Files, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Create the Database

You will use the @code{kdb5_util} command @emph{on the Master KDC} to
create the Kerberos database and the optional stash file.  The
@dfn{stash file} is a local copy of the master key that resides in
encrypted form on the KDC's local disk.  The stash file is used to
authenticate the KDC to itself automatically before starting the
@code{kadmind} and @code{krb5kdc} daemons (@i{e.g.,} as part of the
machine's boot sequence).  The stash file, like the keytab file
(@xref{The Keytab File}) is a potential point-of-entry for a break-in,
and if compromised, would allow unrestricted access to the Kerberos
database.  If you choose to install a stash file, it should be readable
only by root, and should exist only on the KDC's local disk.  The file
should not be part of any backup of the machine, unless access to the
backup data is secured as tightly as access to the master password
itself.

Note that @code{kdb5_util} will prompt you for the master key for the
Kerberos database.  This key can be any string.  A good key is one you
can remember, but that no one else can guess.  Examples of bad keys are
words that can be found in a dictionary, any common or popular name,
especially a famous person (or cartoon character), your username in any
form (@i{e.g.}, forward, backward, repeated twice, @i{etc.}), and any of
the sample keys that appear in this manual.  One example of a key which
would be good if it did not appear in this manual is ``MITiys4K5!'',
which represents the sentence ``@value{COMPANY} is your source for
Kerberos 5!''  (It's the first letter of each word, substituting the
numeral ``4'' for the word ``for'', and includes the punctuation mark at
the end.)

The following is an example of how to create a Kerberos database and
stash file on the master KDC, using the @code{kdb5_util} command.  (The
line that begins with @result{} is a continuation of the previous line.)
Replace @i{@value{PRIMARYREALM}} with the name of your Kerberos realm.

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kdb5_util create -r @value{PRIMARYREALM} -s
@b{kdb5_util: No such file or directory while setting active database to '/krb5/principal'
Initializing database '@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/principal' for
@result{} realm '@value{PRIMARYREALM}',
master key name 'K/M@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}'
You will be prompted for the database Master Password.
It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.}
@iftex
@b{Enter KDC database master key:}  @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type the master password.}
@b{Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:}  @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type it again.}
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter KDC database master key:}  @i{<= Type the master password.}
@b{Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:}  @i{<= Type it again.}
@end ifinfo
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

This will create five files in the directory specified in your
@code{kdc.conf} file:  two Kerberos database files, @code{principal.db},
and @code{principal.ok}; the Kerberos administrative database file,
@code{principal.kadm5}; the administrative database lock file,
@code{principal.kadm5.lock}; and the stash file, @code{.k5stash}.  (The
default directory is @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc}.)  If you do not
want a stash file, run the above command without the @code{-s} option.

@node Add Administrators to the Acl File, Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Create the Database, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Add Administrators to the Acl File

Next, you need create an Access Control List (acl) file, and put the
Kerberos principal of at least one of the administrators into it.  The
filename should match the value you have set for ``acl_file'' in your
@code{kdc.conf} file.  The default file name is @samp{kadm5.acl}.  The
format of the file is:

@smallexample
Kerberos principal      permissions     optional target principal
@end smallexample

The Kerberos principal (and optional target principal) can include the
``@b{*}'' wildcard, so if you want any principal with the instance
``admin'' to have full permissions on the database, you could use the
principal ``@code{*/admin@@REALM}'' where ``REALM'' is your Kerberos
realm.

Note:  a common use of an @i{admin} instance is so you can grant
separate permissions (such as administrator access to the Kerberos
database) to a separate Kerberos principal.  For example, the user
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} might have a principal for his administrative
use, called @code{@value{ADMINUSER}/admin}.  This way,
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} would obtain @code{@value{ADMINUSER}/admin}
tickets only when he actually needs to use those permissions.  Refer to
the @value{PRODUCT} Administrator's Guide or the @value{PRODUCT} User's
Guide for more detailed explanations of @dfn{principals} and
@dfn{instances}.

The permissions (acls) recognized in the acl file 
are the following:

@table @b
@itemx a
allows the addition of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx A
prohibits the addition of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx d
allows the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx D
prohibits the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx m    
allows the modification of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx M
prohibits the modification of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx c
allows the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
@itemx C
prohibits the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
@itemx i
allows inquiries to the database.
@itemx I
prohibits inquiries to the database.
@itemx l
allows the listing of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx L
prohibits the listing of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx *
Short for all privileges (admcil).
@itemx x
Short for all privileges (admcil); identical to ``*''.
@end table

To give the principal @code{*/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}} permission to
change all of the database permissions on any principal permissions, you
would place the following line in the file:

@smallexample
*/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}  *
@end smallexample

To give the principal @code{@value{ADMINUSER}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}}
permission to add, list, and inquire about any principal that has the
instance ``root'', you would add the following line to the acl file:

@smallexample
@value{ADMINUSER}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}  ali  */root@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end smallexample

@node Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Create a kadmind Keytab, Add Administrators to the Acl File, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database

Next you need to add administrative principals to the Kerberos database.
(You must add at least one now.)  To do this, use @code{kadmin.local}
@emph{on the master KDC}, as in the following example:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin.local
@b{kadmin.local:} addprinc admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{WARNING: no policy specified for "admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
defaulting to no policy.}
@iftex
@b{Enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}  @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Enter a password.}
Re-enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:  @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type it again.}
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}  @i{<= Enter a password.}
Re-enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:  @i{<= Type it again.}
@end ifinfo
@b{Principal "admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
kadmin.local:}
@end group
@end smallexample

@node Create a kadmind Keytab, Start the Kerberos Daemons, Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Create a kadmind Keytab

The kadmind keytab is the key that kadmind will use to decrypt
administrators' Kerberos tickets to determine whether or not it should
give them access to the database.  You need to create the kadmin keytab
with entries for the principals @code{kadmin/admin} and
@code{kadmin/changepw}.  (These principals are placed in the Kerberos
database automatically when you create it.)  To create the kadmin
keytab, run @code{kadmin.local} and use the @code{ktadd} command, as in
the following example.  (The line beginning with @result{} is a
continuation of the previous line.):

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin.local
@b{kadmin.local:} ktadd -k @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
@result{} kadmin/admin kadmin/changepw 
@b{Entry for principal kadmin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
     kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
     WRFILE:@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
Entry for principal kadmin/changepw@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
     kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
     WRFILE:@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
kadmin.local:} quit
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
As specified in the @samp{-k} argument, @code{ktadd} will save the
extracted keytab as @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab}.
The filename you use must be the one specified in your @code{kdc.conf}
file.

@need 2000
@node Start the Kerberos Daemons,  , Create a kadmind Keytab, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Start the Kerberos Daemons on the Master KDC

At this point, you are ready to start the Kerberos daemons on the Master
KDC.  To do so, type:

@smallexample
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/krb5kdc
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmind
@end smallexample

@noindent
Each daemon will fork and run in the background.  Assuming you want
these daemons to start up automatically at boot time, you can add them
to the KDC's @code{/etc/rc} or @code{/etc/inittab} file.  You need to
have a stash file in order to do this.

@node Install the Slave KDCs, Back on the Master KDC, Install the Master KDC, Installing KDCs
@subsection Install the Slave KDCs

You are now ready to start configuring the slave KDCs.  Assuming you are
setting the KDCs up so that you can easily switch the master KDC with
one of the slaves, you should perform each of these steps on the master
KDC as well as the slave KDCs, unless these instructions specify
otherwise.

@node Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs, Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs

Each KDC needs a host principal in the Kerberos database.  You can enter
these from any host, once the @code{kadmind} daemon is running.  For
example, if your master KDC were called
@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}, and you had two KDC slaves
named @value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} and
@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}, you would type the following:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin
@b{kadmin:} addprinc -randpass host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@b{WARNING: no policy specified for "host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
defaulting to no policy.
Principal "host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
kadmin:} addprinc -randpass host/@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@b{WARNING: no policy specified for "host/@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
defaulting to no policy.
Principal "host/@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.}
@b{kadmin:} addprinc -randpass host/@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@b{WARNING: no policy specified for "host/@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
defaulting to no policy.
Principal "host/@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
kadmin:}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
It is not actually necessary to have the master KDC server in the
Kerberos database, but it can be handy if:

@itemize @bullet
@item
anyone will be logging into the machine as something other than root

@item
you want to be able to swap the master KDC with one of the slaves if
necessary.
@end itemize

@node Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs, Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation, Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs

Each KDC (including the master) needs a keytab to decrypt tickets.
Ideally, you should extract each keytab locally on its own KDC.  If this
is not feasible, you should use an encrypted session to send them across
the network.  To extract a keytab on a KDC called
@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}, you would execute the following
command:

@smallexample
@group
@b{kadmin:} ktadd host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}

@node Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation,  , Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation

The database is propagated from the master KDC to the slave KDCs via the
@code{kpropd} daemon.  To set up propagation, create a file on each KDC,
named @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl}, containing the
principals for each of the KDCs.
@need 1200
For example, if the master KDC were
@code{@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, the slave KDCs were
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}} and
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and the realm were
@code{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}, then the file's contents would be:

@smallexample
@group
host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
host/@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
host/@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample
 
@need 1000
Then, add the following lines to @code{/etc/inetd.conf} file on each KDC
(the line beginnng with @result{} is a continuation of the previous
line):

@smallexample
@group
krb5_prop stream tcp nowait root @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kpropd kpropd
eklogin   stream tcp nowait root @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/klogind 
@result{} klogind -k -c -e
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
The first line sets up the @code{kpropd} database propagation daemon.
The second line sets up the @code{eklogin} daemon, allowing
Kerberos-authenticated, encrypted rlogin to the KDC.

You also need to add the following lines to @code{/etc/services} on each
KDC:

@smallexample
@group
kerberos        88/udp      kdc       # Kerberos authentication (udp)
kerberos        88/tcp      kdc       # Kerberos authentication (tcp)

@node Back on the Master KDC, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs, Installing KDCs
@subsection Back on the Master KDC

Now that the slave KDCs are able to accept database propagation, you'll
need to propagate the database to each of them.

@end menu

@node Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC,  , Back on the Master KDC, Back on the Master KDC
@subsubsection Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC

First, create a dump of the database on the master KDC, as follows:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kdb5_util dump @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

Next, you need to manually propagate the database to each slave KDC, as
in the following example.  (The lines beginning with @result{} are
continuations of the previous line.):

@smallexample
@group
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@result{} @value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@result{} @value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@end group
@end smallexample

You will need a script to dump and propagate the database.  The
following is an example of a bourne shell script that will do this.
(Note that the line that begins with @result{} is a continuation of the
previous line.  Remember that you need to replace @value{ROOTDIR} with
the name of the directory in which you installed @value{PRODUCT}.)

@smallexample
@group
#!/bin/sh

kdclist = "@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} @value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}"

@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kdb5_util -R "dump
@result{} @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans"

for kdc in $kdclist
do
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans $kdc
done
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
You will need to set up a cron job to run this script at the intervals
you decided on earlier (@xref{Database Propagation}.)

@node Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Add Kerberos Principals to the Database, Back on the Master KDC, Installing KDCs
@subsection Finish Installing the Slave KDCs

Now that the slave KDCs have copies of the Kerberos database, you can
create stash files for them and start the @code{krb5kdc} daemon.

@menu

* Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC::  
@end menu

@node Create Stash Files on the Slave KDCs, Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Create Stash Files on the Slave KDCs

Create stash files, by issuing the following commands on each slave KDC:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util stash
@b{kdb5_util: Cannot find/read stored master key while reading master key
kdb5_util: Warning: proceeding without master key}
@iftex
@b{Enter KDC database master key:}  @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Enter the database master key.}
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter KDC database master key:}  @i{<= Enter the database master key.}
@end ifinfo
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

As mentioned above, the stash file is necessary for your KDCs to be able
authenticate to themselves, such as when they reboot.  You could run
your KDCs without stash files, but you would then need to type in the
Kerberos database master key by hand every time you start a KDC daemon.

@node Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC,  , Create Stash Files on the Slave KDCs, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC

The final step in configuing your slave KDCs is to run the KDC daemon:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/krb5kdc
@end group
@end smallexample

As with the master KDC, you will probably want to add this command to
the KDCs' @code{/etc/rc} or @code{/etc/inittab} files, so they will
start the krb5kdc daemon automatically at boot time.

@node Add Kerberos Principals to the Database, Limit Access to the KDCs, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Installing KDCs

To limit the possibility that your Kerberos database could be

host, with limited access.  If your KDC is also a file server, FTP

root access through a security hole in any of those areas could gain
access to the Kerberos database.

@need 4700

You may occasionally want to use one of your slave KDCs as the master.
This might happen if you are upgrading the master KDC, or if your master
KDC has a disk crash.

Assuming you have configured all of your KDCs to be able to function as
either the master KDC or a slave KDC (as this document recommends), all
you need to do to make the changeover is:

If the master KDC is still running, do the following on the @emph{old}
master KDC:

@enumerate
@item
Kill the @code{kadmind} process.

@item
Disable the cron job that propagates the database.

@item
Run your database propagation script manually, to ensure that the slaves
all have the latest copy of the database.  (@xref{Propagate the Database

@end enumerate

On the @emph{new} master KDC:

@enumerate
@item
Create a database keytab.  (@xref{Create a kadmind Keytab}.)

@item
Start the @code{kadmind} daemon.  (@xref{Start the Kerberos Daemons}.)

@item
Set up the cron job to propagate the database.  (@xref{Propagate the
Database to Each Slave KDC}.)

@item
Switch the cnames of the old and new master KDCs.  (If you don't do
this, you'll need to change the @code{krb5.conf} file on every client
machine in your Kerberos realm.)

@code{@value{ROOTDIR}/bin}, except for @code{login.krb5} which is in
@code{@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin}.

You will probably want to have your users put @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/bin}

default get the @value{PRODUCT} versions of @code{rlogin},
@code{telnet}, @code{ftp}, @code{rcp}, and @code{rsh}.

@value{COMPANY} recommends that you use @code{login.krb5} in place of
@code{/bin/login} to give your users a single-sign-on system.  You will

they log in.

You will also need to educate your users to use the ticket management

@noindent As described in the comments in the above code, if your master
KDC or any of your slave KDCs is running Kerberos V4, (or if you will be

to switch the port number for @code{kerberos} to 750 and create a
@code{kerberos-sec} service (tcp and udp) on port 88, so the Kerberos
V4 KDC(s) will continue to work properly.

@node UNIX Application Servers,  , Installing and Configuring UNIX Client Machines, Installing Kerberos V5
@section UNIX Application Servers

An application server is a host that provides one or more services over
the network.  Application servers can be ``secure'' or ``insecure.''  A
``secure'' host is set up to require authentication from every client
connecting to it.  An ``insecure'' host will still provide Kerberos
authentication, but will also allow unauthenticated clients to connect.

If you have @value{PRODUCT} installed on all of your client machines,
@value{COMPANY} recommends that you make your hosts secure, to take
advantage of the security that Kerberos authentication affords.
However, if you have some clients that do not have @value{PRODUCT}
installed, you can run an insecure server, and still take advantage of
@value{PRODUCT}'s single sign-on on capability.

@node The Keytab File, Some Advice about Secure Hosts, Server Configuration Files, UNIX Application Servers
@subsection The Keytab File

All Kerberos server machines need a @dfn{keytab} file, called
@code{/etc/v5srvtab},@footnote{The keytab was called a @dfn{srvtab} in
Kerberos V4.  The @code{v5srvtab} file has not been renamed to reflect
the change in terminology.} to authenticate to the KDC.  The keytab file
is an encrypted, local, on-disk copy of the host's key.  The keytab
file, like the stash file (@ref{Create the Database}) is a potential
point-of-entry for a break-in, and if compromised, would allow
unrestricted access to its host.  The keytab file should be readable
only by root, and should exist only on the machine's local disk.  The
file should not be part of any backup of the machine, unless access to
the backup data is secured as tightly as access to the machine's root
password itself.

In order to generate a keytab for a host, the host must have a principal
in the Kerberos database.  The procedure for adding hosts to the
database is described fully in the ``Adding or Modifying Principals''
section of the @cite{@value{PRODUCT} System Administrator's Guide}.
@xref{Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs} for a brief description.)
The keytab is generated by running @code{kadmin} and issuing the
@code{ktadd} command.

@need 1100
For example, to generate a keytab file to allow the host
trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} to authenticate for the services
@code{host}, @code{ftp}, and @code{pop}, the administrator
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} would issue the command (on
trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}):

@smallexample
@group
@b{trillium%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin
@b{kadmin5:} ktadd host/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} ftp/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@result{} pop/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@b{kadmin: Entry for principal host/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:/etc/v5srvtab.
kadmin: Entry for principal ftp/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:/etc/v5srvtab.
kadmin: Entry for principal pop/trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:/etc/v5srvtab.
kadmin5:} quit
@b{trillium%}
@end group
@end smallexample

If you generate the keytab file on another host, you need to get a copy
of the keytab file onto the destination host (@code{trillium}, in the
above example) without sending it unencrypted over the network.  If you
have installed the @value{PRODUCT} client programs, you can use
encrypted @code{rcp}.

@node Some Advice about Secure Hosts,  , The Keytab File, UNIX Application Servers
@subsection Some Advice about Secure Hosts

@value{PRODUCT} can protect your host from certain types of break-ins,
but it is possible to install @value{PRODUCT} and still leave your host
vulnerable to attack.  Obviously an installation guide is not the place
to try to include an exhaustive list of countermeasures for every
possible attack, but it is worth noting some of the larger holes and how
to close them.

As stated earlier in this section, @value{COMPANY} recommends that on a
secure host, you disable the standard @code{ftp}, @code{login},
@code{telnet}, @code{shell}, and @code{exec} services in
@code{/etc/services}.  We also recommend that secure hosts have an empty
@code{/etc/hosts.equiv} file and that there not be a @code{.rhosts} file
in @code{root}'s home directory.  You can grant Kerberos-authenticated
root access to specific Kerberos principals by placing those principals
in the file @code{.k5login} in root's home directory.

We recommend that backups of secure machines exclude the keytab file
(@code{/etc/v5srvtab}).  If this is not possible, the backups should at
least be done locally, rather than over a network, and the backup tapes
should be physically secured.

Finally, the keytab file and any programs run by root, including the
@value{PRODUCT} binaries, should be kept on local disk.  The keytab file
should be readable only by root.
