96 Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted,
97 communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it provides
98 a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a firewall
99 either client is on. Since studies have shown that half of the computer

135 This section provides a simplified description of a general user's
136 interaction with the Kerberos system. This interaction happens
137 transparently---users don't need to know and probably don't care about
138 what's going on---but Kerberos administrators might find a schematic
139 description of the process useful. This description glosses over a lot
140 of details; for more information, see @i{Kerberos: An Authentication

158 @section Network Services and Their Client Programs
160 In an environment that provides network services, you use @dfn{client}
161 programs to request @dfn{services} from @dfn{server} programs that are
162 somewhere on the network. Suppose you have logged in to a workstation
163 and you want to @samp{rlogin} to a typical UNIX host. You use the local
164 @samp{rlogin} client program to contact the remote machine's
165 @samp{rlogind} daemon.
167 @node Kerberos Tickets, The Kerberos Database, Network Services and Their Client Programs, How Kerberos Works
168 @section Kerberos Tickets
170 Under Kerberos, the @samp{klogind} daemon allows you to login to a
171 remote machine if you can provide @samp{klogind} a Kerberos ticket
172 which proves your identity. In addition to the ticket, you must also
173 have possession of the corresponding ticket session key. The
174 combination of a ticket and the ticket's session key is known as a credential.
176 Typically, a client program automatically obtains credentials
177 identifying the person using the client program. The credentials are
178 obtained from a Kerberos server that resides somewhere on the network.
179 A Kerberos server maintains a database of user, server, and password
182 @node The Kerberos Database, Kerberos Realms, Kerberos Tickets, How Kerberos Works
183 @section The Kerberos Database
185 Kerberos will give you credentials only if you have an entry in the
186 Kerberos server's @dfn{Kerberos database}. Your database entry includes
187 your Kerberos @dfn{principal} (an identifying string, which is often
188 just your username), and your Kerberos password. Every Kerberos user
189 must have an entry in this database.
191 @node Kerberos Realms, The Ticket-Granting Ticket, The Kerberos Database, How Kerberos Works
192 @section Kerberos Realms
194 Each administrative domain will have its own Kerberos database, which
195 contains information about the users and services for that particular
196 site or administrative domain. This administrative domain is the
197 @dfn{Kerberos realm}.
199 Each Kerberos realm will have at least one Kerberos server, where the
200 master Kerberos database for that site or administrative domain is
201 stored. A Kerberos realm may also have one or more @dfn{slave servers},
202 which have read-only copies of the Kerberos database that are
203 periodically propagated from the master server. For more details on how
204 this is done, see the ``Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation''
205 and ``Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC'' sections of the
206 @value{PRODUCT} Installation Guide.
208 @node The Ticket-Granting Ticket, Network Services and the Master Database, Kerberos Realms, How Kerberos Works
209 @section The Ticket-Granting Ticket
211 The @samp{kinit} command prompts for your password. If you enter it
212 successfully, you will obtain a @dfn{ticket-granting ticket} and a
213 @dfn{ticket session key} which gives you the right to use the ticket.
214 This combination of the ticket and its associated key is known as your
215 @dfn{credentials}. As illustrated below, client programs use your
216 ticket-granting ticket credentials in order to obtain client-specific
217 credentials as needed.
219 Your credentials are stored in a @dfn{credentials cache}, which is often
220 just a file in @code{/tmp}. The credentials cache is also called the
221 @dfn{ticket file}, especially in Kerberos V4 documentation. Note,
222 however, that a credentials cache does not have to be stored in a file.
224 @node Network Services and the Master Database, The User/Kerberos Interaction, The Ticket-Granting Ticket, How Kerberos Works
225 @section Network Services and the Master Database
227 The master database also contains entries for all network services that
228 require Kerberos authentication. Suppose that your site has a machine,
229 @samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, that requires Kerberos
230 authentication from anyone who wants to @samp{rlogin} to it. The host's
231 Kerberos realm is @samp{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}.
233 This service must be registered in the Kerberos database, using the
234 proper service name, which in this case is the @dfn{principal}:
237 host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
241 The @samp{/} character separates the Kerberos @dfn{primary} (in this
242 case, @samp{host}) from the @dfn{instance} (in this case,
243 @samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}); the @samp{@@} character separates
244 the realm name (in this case, @samp{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}) from the rest
245 of the principal. The primary, @samp{host}, denotes the name or type of
246 the service that is being offered: generic host-level access to the
247 machine. The instance, @samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, names the
248 specific machine that is offering this service. There will generally be
249 many different machines, each offering one particular type of service,
250 and the instance serves to give each one of these servers a different
257 @node The Keytab File, , Network Services and the Master Database, Network Services and the Master Database
258 @subsection The Keytab File
260 For each service, there must also be a @dfn{service key} known only by
261 Kerberos and the service. On the Kerberos server, the service key is
262 stored in the Kerberos database.
264 On the server host, these service keys are stored in @dfn{key tables},
265 which are files known as @dfn{keytabs}.@footnote{Keytabs were called
266 @dfn{srvtabs} in Kerberos V4.} For example, the service keys used by
267 services that run as root are usually stored in the keytab file
268 @code{/etc/krb5.keytab}. @b{N.B.:} This service key is the equivalent
269 of the service's password, and must be kept secure. Data which is meant
270 to be read only by the service is encrypted using this key.
272 @node The User/Kerberos Interaction, Definitions, Network Services and the Master Database, How Kerberos Works
273 @section The User/Kerberos Interaction
275 Suppose that you walk up to a host intending to login to it, and then
276 @samp{rlogin} to the machine @samp{laughter}. Here's what happens:
280 You login to the workstation and use the @samp{kinit} command to get a
281 ticket-granting ticket. This command prompts you for your Kerberos
282 password. (On systems running the @value{PRODUCT} @samp{login} program,
283 this may be done as part of the login process, not requiring the user to
284 run a separate program.)
288 The @samp{kinit} command sends your request to the Kerberos master
289 server machine. The server software looks for your principal name's
290 entry in the Kerberos database.
293 If this entry exists, the Kerberos server creates and returns a
294 ticket-granting ticket and the key which allows you to use it, encrypted
295 by your password. If @samp{kinit} can decrypt the Kerberos reply using
296 the password you provide, it stores this ticket in a credentials cache
297 on your local machine for later use. The name of the credentials cache
298 can be specified in the @samp{KRB5CCNAME} environment variable. If this
299 variable is not set, the name of the file will be
300 @file{/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>}, where <uid> is your UNIX user-id, represented
306 Now you use the @samp{rlogin} client to access the machine
310 host% @b{rlogin laughter}
315 The @samp{rlogin} client checks your ticket file to see if you have a
316 ticket for the @samp{host} service for @samp{laughter}. You don't, so
317 @samp{rlogin} uses the credential cache's ticket-granting ticket to make
318 a request to the master server's ticket-granting service.
321 This ticket-granting service receives the request for a ticket for
322 @samp{host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and looks in the master
323 database for an entry for @samp{host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}.
324 If the entry exists, the ticket-granting service issues you a ticket for
325 that service. That ticket is also cached in your credentials cache.
328 The @samp{rlogin} client now sends that ticket to the @samp{laughter}
329 @samp{klogind} service program. The service program checks the ticket
330 by using its own service key. If the ticket is valid, it now knows your
331 identity. If you are allowed to login to @samp{laughter} (because your
332 username matches one in /etc/passwd, or your Kerberos principal is in
333 the appropriate @file{.k5login} file), @code{klogind} will let you

355 @node Supported Encryption Types, Salts, Configuration Files, Configuration Files
356 @section Supported Encryption Types
358 Any tag in the configuration files which requires a list of encryption
359 types can be set to some combination of the following strings.
360 Encryption types marked as ``weak'' are available for compatibility
361 but not recommended for use.
363 @include support-enc.texinfo
365 The string DEFAULT can be used to refer to the default set of types for
366 the variable in question. Types or families can be removed from the
367 current list by prefixing them with a minus sign (``-''). Types or
368 families can be prefixed with a plus sign (``+'') for symmetry; it has
369 the same meaning as just listing the type or family. For example,
370 ``DEFAULT -des'' would be the default set of encryption types with DES
371 types removed, and ``des3 DEFAULT'' would be the default set of
372 encryption types with triple DES types moved to the front.
374 While aes128-cts and aes256-cts are supported for all Kerberos
375 operations, they are not supported by older versions of our GSSAPI
376 implementation (krb5-1.3.1 and earlier).
378 By default, AES is enabled in this release. Sites wishing to use AES
379 encryption types on their KDCs need to be careful not to give GSSAPI
380 services AES keys if the servers have not been updated. If older
381 GSSAPI services are given AES keys, then services may fail when
382 clients supporting AES for GSSAPI are used. Sites may wish to use AES
383 for user keys and for the ticket granting ticket key, although doing
384 so requires specifying what encryption types are used as each
385 principal is created.
387 If all GSSAPI-based services have been updated before or with the KDC,
388 this is not an issue.

427 @itemx default_keytab_name
428 This relation specifies the default keytab name to be used by
429 application servers such as telnetd and rlogind. The default is
430 @value{DefaultDefaultKeytabName}.
433 Identifies the default Kerberos realm for the client. Set its value to
434 your Kerberos realm. If this is not specified and the TXT record
435 lookup is enabled (see @ref{Using DNS}), then that information will be
436 used to determine the default realm. If this tag is not set in this
437 configuration file and there is no DNS information found, then an error
440 @itemx default_tgs_enctypes
441 Identifies the supported list of session key encryption types that
442 should be returned by the KDC. The list may be delimited with commas
443 or whitespace. Kerberos supports many different encryption types, and
444 support for more is planned in the future. (see @ref{Supported Encryption
445 Types} for a list of the accepted values for this tag). The default
446 value is @value{DefaultDefaultTgsEnctypes}.
448 @itemx default_tkt_enctypes
449 Identifies the supported list of session key encryption types that
450 should be requested by the client. The format is the same as for
451 @emph{default_tgs_enctypes}. The default value for this tag is
452 @value{DefaultDefaultTktEnctypes}.
454 @itemx permitted_enctypes
455 Identifies all encryption types that are permitted for use in session
456 key encryption. The default value for this tag is
457 @value{DefaultPermittedEnctypes}.
459 @itemx allow_weak_crypto
460 If this is set to 0 (for false), then weak encryption types will be
461 filtered out of the previous three lists (as noted in @ref{Supported
462 Encryption Types}). The default value for this tag is false, which
463 may cause authentication failures in existing Kerberos infrastructures
464 that do not support strong crypto. Users in affected environments
465 should set this tag to true until their infrastructure adopts stronger
469 Sets the maximum allowable amount of clockskew in seconds that the
470 library will tolerate before assuming that a Kerberos message is
471 invalid. The default value is @value{DefaultClockskew}.
473 @itemx ignore_acceptor_hostname
474 When accepting GSSAPI or krb5 security contexts for host-based service
475 principals, ignore any hostname passed by the calling application and
476 allow any service principal present in the keytab which matches the
477 service name and realm name (if given). This option can improve
478 the administrative flexibility of server applications multi-homed hosts,
479 but can compromise the security of virtual hosting environments. The
480 default value is false.
482 @itemx k5login_authoritative
483 If the value of this relation is true (the default), principals must
484 be listed in a local user's k5login file to be granted login access,
485 if a k5login file exists. If the value of this relation is false, a
486 principal may still be granted login access through other mechanisms
487 even if a k5login file exists but does not list the principal.
489 @itemx k5login_directory
490 If set, the library will look for a local user's k5login file within the
491 named directory, with a filename corresponding to the local username.
492 If not set, the library will look for k5login files in the user's home
493 directory, with the filename @code{.k5login}. For security reasons,
494 k5login files must be owned by the local user or by root.
497 If this is set to 1 (for true), then client machines will compute the
498 difference between their time and the time returned by the KDC in the
499 timestamps in the tickets and use this value to correct for an
500 inaccurate system clock. This corrective factor is only used by the
501 Kerberos library. The default is @value{DefaultKDCTimesync}.
503 @itemx kdc_req_checksum_type
505 @itemx ap_req_checksum_type
507 @itemx safe_checksum_type
508 An integer which specifies the type of checksum to use. Used for
509 compatability with DCE security servers which do not support the
510 default @value{DefaultChecksumType} used by this version of Kerberos.
512 kdc_req_checksum_type is only used for DES keys. The ap_req_checksum_type defaults to the preferred checksum for the encryption type being used if unset. If set, then the selected checksum is used regardless of the type of key being used. The possible values and their meanings are as follows.
514 @comment taken from krb5/src/include/krb5.h[in]
533 Microsoft MD5 HMAC checksum type
536 @itemx preferred_preauth_types
537 This allows you to set the preferred preauthentication types which the
538 client will attempt before others which may be advertised by a KDC. The
539 default value for this setting is "17, 16, 15, 14", which forces libkrb5
540 to attempt to use PKINIT if it is supported.
542 @comment see lib/krb5/ccache/fcc.h
544 Use this parameter on systems which are DCE clients, to specify the
545 type of cache to be created by kinit, or when forwarded tickets are
546 received. DCE and Kerberos can share the cache, but some versions of
547 DCE do not support the default cache as created by this version of
548 Kerberos. Use a value of 1 on DCE 1.0.3a systems, and a value of 2 on
549 DCE 1.1 systems. The default value is @value{DefaultCcacheType}.
551 @itemx dns_lookup_kdc
552 Indicate whether DNS SRV records should be used to locate the KDCs and
553 other servers for a realm, if they are not listed in the information for
554 the realm. (Note that the @samp{admin_server} entry must be in the
555 file, because the DNS implementation for it is incomplete.)
557 Enabling this option does open up a type of denial-of-service attack, if
558 someone spoofs the DNS records and redirects you to another server.
559 However, it's no worse than a denial of service, because that fake KDC
560 will be unable to decode anything you send it (besides the initial
561 ticket request, which has no encrypted data), and anything the fake KDC
562 sends will not be trusted without verification using some secret that it
565 If this option is not specified but @samp{dns_fallback} is, that value
566 will be used instead. If neither option is specified, the behavior
567 depends on configure-time options; if none were given, the default is to
568 enable this option. If the DNS support is not compiled in, this entry
571 @itemx dns_lookup_realm
572 Indicate whether DNS TXT records should be used to determine the
573 Kerberos realm of a host.
575 Enabling this option may permit a redirection attack, where spoofed DNS
576 replies persuade a client to authenticate to the wrong realm, when
577 talking to the wrong host (either by spoofing yet more DNS records or by
578 intercepting the net traffic). Depending on how the client software
579 manages hostnames, however, it could already be vulnerable to such
580 attacks. We are looking at possible ways to minimize or eliminate this
581 exposure. For now, we encourage more adventurous sites to try using
584 If this option is not specified but @samp{dns_fallback} is, that value
585 will be used instead. If neither option is specified, the behavior
586 depends on configure-time options; if none were given, the default is to
587 disable this option. If the DNS support is not compiled in, this entry
591 General flag controlling the use of DNS for Kerberos information. If
592 both of the preceding options are specified, this option has no effect.
594 @itemx realm_try_domains
595 Indicate whether a host's domain components should be used to determine
596 the Kerberos realm of the host. The value of this variable is an
597 integer: -1 means not to search, 0 means to try the host's domain
598 itself, 1 means to also try the domain's immediate parent, and so forth.
599 The library's usual mechanism for locating Kerberos realms is used to
600 determine whether a domain is a valid realm--which may involve
601 consulting DNS if dns_lookup_kdc is set. The default is not to search
604 @itemx extra_addresses
605 This allows a computer to use multiple local addresses, in order to
606 allow Kerberos to work in a network that uses NATs. The addresses
607 should be in a comma-separated list.
609 @itemx udp_preference_limit
610 When sending a message to the KDC, the library will try using TCP before
611 UDP if the size of the message is above @code{udp_preference_list}.
612 If the message is smaller than @code{udp_preference_list}, then UDP
613 will be tried before TCP. Regardless of the size, both protocols will
614 be tried if the first attempt fails.
616 @itemx verify_ap_req_nofail
617 If this flag is set, then an attempt to get initial credentials will
618 fail if the client machine does not have a keytab. The default for the
619 flag is @value{DefaultVerifyApReqNofail}.
621 @itemx ticket_lifetime
622 The value of this tag is the default lifetime for
623 initial tickets. The default value for the tag is
624 @value{DefaultTktLifetime}.
626 @itemx renew_lifetime
627 The value of this tag is the default renewable lifetime for
628 initial tickets. The default value for the tag is
629 @value{DefaultRenewLifetime}.
632 Setting this flag causes the initial Kerberos ticket to be addressless.
633 The default for the flag is @value{DefaultNoaddresses}.
636 If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be forwardable.
637 The default value for this flag is @value{DefaultForwardable}.
640 If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be proxiable.
641 The default value for this flag is @value{DefaultProxiable}.
644 If set to false, prevent the use of reverse DNS resolution when
645 translating hostnames into service principal names. Defaults to
646 true. Setting this flag to false is more secure, but may force
647 users to exclusively use fully qualified domain names when
648 authenticating to services.
654 @node appdefaults, login, libdefaults, krb5.conf
655 @subsection [appdefaults]
657 Each tag in the [appdefaults] section names a Kerberos V5 application
658 or an option that is used by some Kerberos V5 application[s]. The
659 value of the tag defines the default behaviors for that application.
667 @value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
675 @value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
683 The above four ways of specifying the value of an option are shown
684 in order of decreasing precedence. In this example, if telnet is
685 running in the realm @value{SECONDREALM}, it should, by default, have
686 option1 and option2 set to true. However, a telnet program in the realm
687 @value{PRIMARYREALM} should have option1 set to false and option2 set
688 to true. Any other programs in @value{PRIMARYREALM} should have option2
689 set to false by default. Any programs running in other realms should
690 have option2 set to true.

700 Each tag in the [login] section of the file is an option for
701 login.krb5. This section may contain any of the following relations:
704 @itemx krb5_get_tickets
705 Indicate whether or not to use a user's password to get V5 tickets.
706 The default value is @value{DefaultKrb5GetTickets}.
709 Indicate whether or not to run aklog. The default value is
710 @value{DefaultKrbRunAklog}.
713 Indicate where to find aklog. The default value is
714 @value{DefaultAklogPath}.
717 A true value will cause login not to accept plaintext passwords. The
718 default value is @value{DefaultAcceptPasswd}. This is not yet
722 @node realms (krb5.conf), domain_realm, login, krb5.conf
725 Each tag in the [realms] section of the file is the name of a Kerberos
726 realm. The value of the tag is a subsection with relations that define
727 the properties of that particular realm. For each realm, the following
728 tags may be specified in the realm's subsection:
732 The name or address of a host running a KDC for that realm. An optional
733 port number, separated from the hostname by a colon, may be included.
734 If the name or address contains colons (for example, if it is an IPv6
735 address), enclose it in square brackets to distinguish the colon from a
736 port separator. For your computer to be able to communicate with the
737 KDC for each realm, this tag must be given a value in each realm
738 subsection in the configuration file, or there must be DNS SRV records
739 specifying the KDCs (see @ref{Using DNS}).
742 Identifies the master KDC(s). Currently, this tag is used in only one
743 case: If an attempt to get credentials fails because of an invalid
744 password, the client software will attempt to contact the master KDC,
745 in case the user's password has just been changed, and the updated
746 database has not been propagated to the slave servers yet.
748 @itemx database_module
750 This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
754 Identifies the host where the administration server is running.
755 Typically, this is the master Kerberos server. This tag must be given
756 a value in order to communicate with the kadmin server for the realm.
759 this doesn't seem to be used in the code
760 @itemx application defaults
761 Application defaults that are specific to a particular realm may be
762 specified within that realm's tag. Realm-specific application defaults
763 override the global defaults specified in the [appdefaults] section.
766 @itemx default_domain
767 This tag is used for Kerberos 4 compatibility. Kerberos 4 does not
768 require the entire hostname of a server to be in its principal like
769 Kerberos 5 does. This tag provides the domain name needed to produce a
770 full hostname when translating V4 principal names into V5 principal
771 names. All servers in this realm are assumed to be in the domain given
772 as the value of this tag
774 @itemx v4_instance_convert
775 This subsection allows the administrator to configure exceptions to the
776 default_domain mapping rule. It contains V4 instances (the tag name)
777 which should be translated to some specific hostname (the tag value) as
778 the second component in a Kerberos V5 principal name.
781 This relation is used by the krb524 library routines when converting a
782 V5 principal name to a V4 principal name. It is used when the V4 realm
783 name and the V5 realm name are not the same, but still share the same
784 principal names and passwords. The tag value is the Kerberos V4 realm
787 @itemx auth_to_local_names
788 This subsection allows you to set explicit mappings from principal
789 names to local user names. The tag is the mapping name, and the value
790 is the corresponding local user name.
793 This tag allows you to set a general rule for mapping principal names
794 to local user names. It will be used if there is not an explicit
795 mapping for the principal name that is being translated. The possible
800 @item DB:@i{filename}
801 The principal will be looked up in the database @i{filename}. Support
802 for this is not currently compiled in by default.
805 The local name will be formulated from @i{exp}.
807 The format for @i{exp} is
808 @code{[@i{n}:@i{string}](@i{regexp})s/@i{pattern}/@i{replacement}/g}.
809 The integer @i{n} indicates how many components the target principal
810 should have. If this matches, then a string will be formed from
811 @i{string}, substituting the realm of the principal for @code{$0} and
812 the @i{n}'th component of the principal for @code{$@i{n}} (e.g. if the
813 principal was @value{RANDOMUSER}/admin then [2:$2$1foo] would result in
814 the string "admin@value{RANDOMUSER}foo"). If this string matches
815 @i{regexp}, then the @code{s//[g]} substitution command will be run over
816 the string. The optional g will cause the substitution to be global
817 over the string, instead of replacing only the first match in the
821 The principal name will be used as the local user name. If the
822 principal has more than one component or is not in the default realm,
823 this rule is not applicable and the conversion will fail.
832 @value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
833 auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$1](@value{RANDOMUSER})s/^.*$/guest/
834 auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$1;$2](^.*;admin$)s/;admin$//
835 auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$2](^.*;root)s/^.*$/root/
836 auto_to_local = DEFAULT
841 would result in any principal without @code{root} or @code{admin} as
842 the second component to be translated with the default rule. A
843 principal with a second component of @code{admin} will become its first
844 component. @code{root} will be used as the local name for any
845 principal with a second component of @code{root}. The exception to
846 these two rules are any principals @value{RANDOMUSER}/*, which will
847 always get the local name @code{guest}.
851 @node domain_realm, logging, realms (krb5.conf), krb5.conf
852 @subsection [domain_realm]
854 The [domain_realm] section provides a translation from a domain name or
855 hostname to a Kerberos realm name. The tag name can be a host name, or
856 a domain name, where domain names are indicated by a prefix of a period
857 (@samp{.}). The value of the relation is the Kerberos realm name for
858 that particular host or domain. Host names and domain names should be
861 If no translation entry applies, the host's realm is considered to be
862 the hostname's domain portion converted to upper case. For example, the
863 following [domain_realm] section:
869 .mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
871 @value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} = @value{PRIMARYREALM}
872 crash.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} = TEST.@value{PRIMARYREALM}
873 @value{SECONDDOMAIN} = @value{SECONDREALM}
878 maps crash.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} into the TEST.@value{PRIMARYREALM}
879 realm. All other hosts in the @value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} domain will map by
880 default to the @value{PRIMARYREALM} realm, and all hosts in the
881 @value{SECONDDOMAIN} domain will map by default into the
882 @value{SECONDREALM} realm. Note the entries for the hosts
883 @value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} and @value{SECONDDOMAIN}. Without these entries,
885 these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms @samp{COM} and
888 these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms @samp{EDU} and
890 @samp{ORG}, respectively.
892 @node logging, capaths, domain_realm, krb5.conf
893 @subsection [logging]
894 The [logging] section indicates how a particular entity is to perform
895 its logging. The relations in this section assign one or more values to
896 the entity name. Currently, the following entities are used:
901 These entries specify how the KDC is to perform its logging.
904 These entries specify how the administrative server
905 is to perform its logging.
908 These entries specify how to perform logging in the
909 absence of explicit specifications otherwise.
912 Values are of the following forms:
915 @itemx FILE=<filename>
917 @itemx FILE:<filename>
918 This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified
919 file. If the @samp{=} form is used, the file is overwritten. If the
920 @samp{:} form is used, the file is appended to.
923 This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to its standard
927 This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the console, if
928 the system supports it.
930 @itemx DEVICE=<devicename>
931 This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified device.
933 @itemx SYSLOG[:<severity>[:<facility>]]
934 This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the system log.
936 The @dfn{severity} argument specifies the default severity of system log
937 messages. This may be any of the following severities supported by the
938 @code{syslog(3)} call, minus the LOG_ prefix: LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT,
939 LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR, LOG_WARNING, LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, and LOG_DEBUG.
940 For example, a value of @samp{CRIT} would specify LOG_CRIT severity.
942 The facility argument specifies the facility under which the messages
943 are logged. This may be any of the following facilities supported by
944 the syslog(3) call minus the LOG_ prefix: LOG_KERN, LOG_USER, LOG_MAIL,
945 LOG_DAEMON, LOG_AUTH, LOG_LPR, LOG_NEWS, LOG_UUCP, LOG_CRON, and
946 LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7.
948 If no severity is specified, the default is ERR. If no facility is
949 specified, the default is AUTH.
952 In the following example, the logging messages from the KDC will go to
953 the console and to the system log under the facility LOG_DAEMON with
954 default severity of LOG_INFO; and the logging messages from the
955 administrative server will be appended to the file /var/adm/kadmin.log
956 and sent to the device /dev/tty04.
962 kdc = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
963 admin_server = FILE:/var/adm/kadmin.log
964 admin_server = DEVICE=/dev/tty04
968 @node capaths, dbdefaults, logging, krb5.conf
969 @subsection [capaths]
971 In order to perform direct (non-hierarchical) cross-realm
972 authentication, a database is needed to construct the authentication
973 paths between the realms. This section defines that database.
975 A client will use this section to find the authentication path between
976 its realm and the realm of the server. The server will use this section
977 to verify the authentication path used by the client, by checking the
978 transited field of the received ticket.
980 There is a tag for each participating realm, and each tag has subtags
981 for each of the realms. The value of the subtags is an intermediate
982 realm which may participate in the cross-realm authentication. The
983 subtags may be repeated if there is more then one intermediate realm. A
984 value of "." means that the two realms share keys directly, and no
985 intermediate realms should be allowed to participate.
987 There are n**2 possible entries in this table, but only those entries
988 which will be needed on the client or the server need to be present.
989 The client needs a tag for its local realm, with subtags for all the
990 realms of servers it will need to authenticate with. A server needs a
991 tag for each realm of the clients it will serve.
993 For example, ANL.GOV, PNL.GOV, and NERSC.GOV all wish to use the ES.NET
994 realm as an intermediate realm. ANL has a sub realm of TEST.ANL.GOV
995 which will authenticate with NERSC.GOV but not PNL.GOV. The [capaths]
996 section for ANL.GOV systems would look like this:
1022 The [capaths] section of the configuration file used on NERSC.GOV systems
1023 would look like this:
1030 TEST.ANL.GOV = ES.NET
1031 TEST.ANL.GOV = ANL.GOV
1051 In the above examples, the ordering is not important, except when the
1052 same subtag name is used more then once. The client will use this to
1053 determine the path. (It is not important to the server, since the
1054 transited field is not sorted.)
1056 This feature is not currently supported by DCE. DCE security servers
1057 can be used with Kerberized clients and servers, but versions prior to
1058 DCE 1.1 did not fill in the transited field, and should be used with
1061 @node dbdefaults, dbmodules, capaths, krb5.conf
1062 @subsection [dbdefaults]
1064 The [dbdefaults] section provides default values for the database specific parameters. It can also specify the configuration section under [dbmodules] section for database specific parameters used by the database library.(@pxref{dbmodules}).
1066 The following tags are used in this section:
1069 @itemx database_module
1070 This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under the [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
1072 @itemx ldap_kerberos_container_dn
1073 This LDAP specific tag indicates the DN of the container object where the realm objects will be located. This value is used if the container object is not mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules].
1076 This LDAP specific tag indicates the default bind DN for the KDC server. The KDC server does a login to the directory as this object. This object should have the rights to read the Kerberos data in the LDAP database. This value is used if the bind DN for the KDC is not mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules].
1078 @itemx ldap_kadmind_dn
1079 This LDAP specific tag indicates the default bind DN for the Administration server. The administration server does a login to the directory as this object. This object should have the rights to read and write the Kerberos data in the LDAP database. This value is used if the bind DN for the Administration server is not mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules].
1081 @itemx ldap_service_password_file
1083 This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords (created by @code{kdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw}) for the objects used by the Kerberos servers to bind to the LDAP server. This file must be kept secure. This value is used if no service password file is mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules].
1087 This LDAP specific tag indicates the list of LDAP servers that the Kerberos servers can connect to. The list of LDAP servers is whitespace-separated. The LDAP server is specified by a LDAP URI. This value is used if no LDAP servers are mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules]. It is recommended to use the ldapi:// or ldaps:// interface and not to use ldap:// interface.
1089 @itemx ldap_conns_per_server
1090 This LDAP specific tag indicates the number of connections to be maintained per LDAP server. This value is used if the number of connections per LDAP server are not mentioned in the configuration section under [dbmodules]. The default value is 5.
1093 @node dbmodules, plugins, dbdefaults, krb5.conf
1094 @subsection [dbmodules]
1096 Contains database specific parameters used by the database library. Each tag in the [dbmodules] section of the file names a configuration section for database specific parameters that can be referred to by a realm. The value of the tag is a subsection where the relations in that subsection define the database specific parameters.
1098 For each section, the following tags may be specified in the subsection:
1102 This tag indicates the name of the loadable database library. The value should be @samp{db2} for DB2 database and @samp{kldap} for LDAP database.
1104 @itemx database_name
1105 This DB2-specific tag indicates the location of the database in the
1106 filesystem. The default is @* @code{@value{DefaultDatabaseName}}.
1108 @itemx disable_last_success
1109 If set to @code{true}, suppresses KDC updates to the ``Last successful
1110 authentication'' field of principal entries requiring preauthentication.
1111 Setting this flag may improve performance. (Principal entries which do
1112 not require preauthentication never update the ``Last successful
1113 authentication'' field.)
1115 @itemx disable_lockout
1116 If set to @code{true}, suppresses KDC updates to the ``Last failed
1117 authentication'' and ``Failed password attempts'' fields of principal
1118 entries requiring preauthentication. Setting this flag may improve
1119 performance, but also disables account lockout.
1121 @itemx ldap_kerberos_container_dn
1122 This LDAP specific tag indicates the DN of the container object where the realm objects will be located.
1125 This LDAP specific tag indicates the default bind DN for the KDC server. The KDC server does a login to the directory as this object. This object should have the rights to read the Kerberos data in the LDAP database.
1127 @itemx ldap_kadmind_dn
1128 This LDAP specific tag indicates the default bind DN for the Administration server. The administration server does a login to the directory as this object. This object should have the rights to read and write the Kerberos data in the LDAP database.
1130 @itemx ldap_service_password_file
1131 This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords (created by @code{kdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw}) for the objects used by the Kerberos servers to bind to the LDAP server. This file must be kept secure.
1134 This LDAP specific tag indicates the list of LDAP servers that the Kerberos servers can connect to. The list of LDAP servers is whitespace-separated. The LDAP server is specified by a LDAP URI. It is recommended to use ldapi:// or ldaps:// interface to connect to the LDAP server.
1136 @itemx ldap_conns_per_server
1137 This LDAP specific tags indicates the number of connections to be maintained per LDAP server.

1280 The syntax for specifying Public Key identity, trust, and revocation
1281 information for pkinit is as follows:
1284 @item FILE:@i{file-name}[,@i{key-file-name}]
1285 This option has context-specific behavior.
1287 @item pkinit_identity
1288 @itemx pkinit_identities
1289 @i{file-name} specifies the name of a PEM-format file
1290 containing the user's certificate. If @i{key-file-name} is
1291 not specified, the user's private key is expected to be
1292 in @i{file-name} as well. Otherwise, @i{key-file-name}
1293 is the name of the file containing the private key.
1294 @item pkinit_anchors
1296 @i{file-name} is assumed to be the name of an OpenSSL-style
1300 @item DIR:@i{directory-name}
1301 This option has context-specific behavior.
1303 @item pkinit_identity
1304 @itemx pkinit_identities
1305 @i{directory-name} specifies a directory with files named
1306 @code{*.crt} and @code{*.key}, where the first part of the
1307 file name is the same for matching pairs of certificate and
1308 private key files. When a file with a name ending with @code{.crt}
1309 is found, a matching file ending with @code{.key} is assumed
1310 to contain the private key. If no such file is found, then
1311 the certificate in the @code{.crt} is not used.
1312 @item pkinit_anchors
1314 @i{directory-name} is assumed to be an OpenSSL-style hashed CA directory
1315 where each CA cert is stored in a file named @i{hash-of-ca-cert}.@i{#}.
1316 This infrastructure is encouraged, but all files in the directory
1317 will be examined and if they contain certificates (in PEM format),
1320 @i{directory-name} is assumed to be an OpenSSL-style hashed CA directory
1321 where each revocation list is stored in a file named @i{hash-of-ca-cert}.@b{r}@i{#}.
1322 This infrastructure is encouraged, but all files in the directory
1323 will be examined and if they contain a revocation list (in PEM format),
1327 @item PKCS12:@i{pkcs12-file-name}
1328 @i{pkcs12-file-name} is the name of a @code{PKCS #12} format file, containing
1329 the user's certificate and private key.
1331 @item PKCS11:[@b{module_name=}]@i{module-name}[@b{:slotid=}@i{slot-id}][@b{:token=}@i{token-label}][@b{:certid=}@i{cert-id}][@b{:certlabel=}@i{cert-label}]
1332 All keyword/values are optional.
1333 @i{module-name} specifies the location of a library implementing
1334 @code{PKCS #11}. If a value is encountered with no keyword, it
1335 is assumed to be the @i{module-name}. If no @i{module-name} is
1336 specified, the default is @code{opensc-pkcs11.so}.
1337 @b{slotid=} and/or @b{token=} may be specified to force the use of a
1338 particular smard card reader or token if there is more than one
1340 @b{certid=} and/or @b{certlabel=} may be specified to force the selection
1341 of a particular certificate on the device. See the @code{pkinit_cert_match}
1342 configuration option for more ways to select a particular certificate to

1346 @i{environment-variable-name} specifies the name of an environment
1347 variable which has been set to a value conforming to one of the
1348 previous values. For example, @code{ENV:X509_PROXY}, where environment
1349 variable @code{X509_PROXY} has been set to @code{FILE:/tmp/my_proxy.pem}.

1383 been revoked. If a match is found for the certificate in a CRL,
1384 verification fails. If the certificate being verified is not listed
1385 in a CRL, or there is no CRL present for its issuing CA,
1386 and @code{pkinit_require_crl_checking} is @code{false},
1387 then verification succeeds.
1389 However, if @code{pkinit_require_crl_checking} is @code{true} and
1390 there is no CRL information available for the issuing CA,
1391 then verification fails.
1393 @code{pkinit_require_crl_checking} should be set to @code{true}
1394 if the policy is such that up-to-date CRLs @b{must} be present for
1397 @item pkinit_dh_min_bits
1398 Specifies the size of the Diffie-Hellman key the client will
1399 attempt to use. The acceptable values are currently 1024, 2048,
1400 and 4096. The default is 2048.
1403 This flag specifies whether the target realm is assumed
1404 to support only the @i{old}, pre-RFC version of the protocol.
1405 The default is false.
1407 @item pkinit_win2k_require_binding
1408 If this flag is set to true, it expects that the target
1409 KDC is patched to return a reply with a checksum rather than a
1410 nonce. The default is false.
1412 @item pkinit_eku_checking
1413 This option specifies what Extended Key Usage value the KDC certificate
1414 presented to the client must contain.
1415 (@b{Note} that if the KDC certificate has the pkinit
1416 SubjectAlternativeName encoded as the Kerberos TGS name, EKU checking
1417 is not necessary since the issuing CA has certified this as a KDC
1419 The values recognized in the @code{krb5.conf} file are:
1422 This is the default value and specifies that the KDC must have the
1423 id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU as defined in RFC4556.
1425 If @code{kpServerAuth} is specified, a KDC certificate with the
1426 id-kp-serverAuth EKU as used by Microsoft will be accepted.
1428 If @code{none} is specified, then the KDC certificate will not be
1429 checked to verify it has an acceptable EKU. The use of this option
1430 is @b{not recommended}.
1433 @item pkinit_kdc_hostname
1434 The presense of this option indicates that the client is willing to
1435 accept a KDC certificate with a dNSName SAN (Subject Alternative Name)
1436 rather than requiring the id-pkinit-san as defined in RFC4556. This
1437 option may be specified multiple times. Its value should contain
1438 the acceptable hostname for the KDC (as contained in its certificate).
1440 @item pkinit_cert_match
1441 Specifies matching rules that the client certificate must match before
1442 it is used to attempt pkinit authentication. If a user has multiple
1443 certificates available (on a smart card, or via other media), there
1444 must be exactly one certificate chosen before attempting pkinit
1445 authentication. This option may be specified multiple times. All the
1446 available certificates are checked against each rule in order until
1447 there is a match of exactly one certificate.
1449 The Subject and Issuer comparison strings are the RFC2253 string
1450 representations from the certificate Subject DN and Issuer DN values.
1452 The syntax of the matching rules is:
1454 [@i{relation-operator}]@i{component-rule} @code{...}
1458 @item relation-operator
1459 can be either @code{&&}, meaning all component rules must match,
1460 or @code{||}, meaning only one component rule must match.
1461 The default is @code{&&} if not specified.
1463 @item component-rule
1464 can be one of the following. Note that there is no punctuation
1465 or whitespace between component rules.
1467 @item @code{<SUBJECT>}@i{regular-expression}

1623 @subsection [realms]
1625 Each tag in the [realms] section of the file names a Kerberos realm.
1626 The value of the tag is a subsection where the relations in that
1627 subsection define KDC parameters for that particular realm.
1629 For each realm, the following tags may be specified in the [realms]
1634 (String.) Location of the access control list (acl) file that kadmin
1635 uses to determine which principals are allowed which permissions on the
1636 database. The default is @code{@value{DefaultAclFile}}.
1638 @itemx default_principal_expiration
1639 (Absolute time string.) Specifies the default expiration date of
1640 principals created in this realm. The default value for this tag is
1641 @value{DefaultDefaultPrincipalExpiration}.
1643 @itemx default_principal_flags
1644 (Flag string.) Specifies the default attributes of principals created
1645 in this realm. The format for this string is a comma-separated list of
1646 flags, with '+' before each flag that should be enabled and '-' before
1647 each flag that should be disabled. The default is
1648 @value{DefaultDefaultPrincipalFlags}.
1650 There are a number of possible flags:
1654 Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain postdateable tickets.
1657 Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain forwardable tickets.
1660 Enabling this flag allows a principal to obtain tickets based on a
1661 ticket-granting-ticket, rather than repeating the authentication
1662 process that was used to obtain the TGT.
1665 Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renewable tickets.
1668 Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain proxy tickets.
1671 Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain a session key for
1672 another user, permitting user-to-user authentication for this principal.
1674 @itemx allow-tickets
1675 Enabling this flag means that the KDC will issue tickets for this
1676 principal. Disabling this flag essentially deactivates the principal
1680 If this flag is enabled on a client principal, then that principal is
1681 required to preauthenticate to the KDC before receiving any tickets.
1682 On a service principal, enabling this flag means that service tickets
1683 for this principal will only be issued to clients with a TGT that has
1684 the preauthenticated ticket set.
1687 If this flag is enabled, then the principal is required to
1688 preauthenticate using a hardware device before receiving any tickets.
1691 Enabling this flag forces a password change for this principal.
1694 Enabling this flag allows the the KDC to issue service tickets for this
1698 If this flag is enabled, it marks this principal as a password change
1699 service. This should only be used in special cases, for example, if a
1700 user's password has expired, then the user has to get tickets for that
1701 principal without going through the normal password authentication in
1702 order to be able to change the password.
1707 (String.) Location of the dictionary file containing strings that are
1708 not allowed as passwords. If none is specified or if there is no
1709 policy assigned to the principal, no dictionary checks of passwords
1713 (Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kadmind daemon is to
1714 listen for this realm. The assigned port for kadmind is
1715 @value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
1718 (Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kpasswd daemon is to
1719 listen for this realm. The default is @value{DefaultKpasswdPort}.
1721 @itemx key_stash_file
1722 (String.) Specifies the location where the master key has been stored
1723 (via @code{kdb5_util stash}). The default is
1724 @code{@value{DefaultKeyStashFileStub}@i{REALM}}, where @i{REALM} is the
1728 (String.) Specifies the list of ports that the KDC is to listen to
1729 for UDP requests for this realm. By default, the value of kdc_ports
1730 as specified in the [kdcdefaults] section is used.
1732 @itemx kdc_tcp_ports
1733 (String.) Specifies the list of ports that the KDC is to listen to
1734 for TCP requests for this realm. By default, the value of
1735 kdc_tcp_ports as specified in the [kdcdefaults] section is used.
1737 @itemx master_key_name
1738 (String.) Specifies the name of the principal associated with the
1739 master key. The default is @value{DefaultMasterKeyName}.
1741 @itemx master_key_type
1742 (Key type string.) Specifies the master key's key type. The default
1743 value for this is @value{DefaultMasterKeyType}. For a list of all
1744 possible values, see @ref{Supported Encryption Types}.
1747 (Delta time string.) Specifes the maximum time period for which a
1748 ticket may be valid in this realm. The default value is
1749 @value{DefaultMaxLife}.
1751 @itemx max_renewable_life
1752 (Delta time string.) Specifies the maximum time period during which a
1753 valid ticket may be renewed in this realm. The default value is
1754 @value{DefaultMaxRenewableLife}.
1756 @itemx supported_enctypes
1757 List of key:salt strings. Specifies the default key/salt combinations of
1758 principals for this realm. Any principals created through @code{kadmin}
1759 will have keys of these types. The default value for this tag is
1760 @value{DefaultSupportedEnctypes}. For lists of possible values, see
1761 @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and @ref{Salts}.
1763 @itemx reject_bad_transit
1764 A boolean value (@code{true}, @code{false}). If set to @code{true}, the
1765 KDC will check the list of transited realms for cross-realm tickets
1766 against the transit path computed from the realm names and the
1767 @code{capaths} section of its @code{krb5.conf} file; if the path in the
1768 ticket to be issued contains any realms not in the computed path, the
1769 ticket will not be issued, and an error will be returned to the client
1770 instead. If this value is set to @code{false}, such tickets will be
1771 issued anyways, and it will be left up to the application server to
1772 validate the realm transit path.
1774 If the @code{disable-transited-check} flag is set in the incoming
1775 request, this check is not performed at all. Having the
1776 @code{reject_bad_transit} option will cause such ticket requests to be

1782 Earlier versions of the MIT release (before 1.2.3) had bugs in the
1783 application server support such that the server-side checks may not be
1784 performed correctly. We recommend turning this option on, unless you
1785 know that all application servers in this realm have been updated to
1786 fixed versions of the software, and for whatever reason, you don't want
1787 the KDC to do the validation.
1789 This is a per-realm option so that multiple-realm KDCs may control it
1790 separately for each realm, in case (for example) one realm has had the
1791 software on its application servers updated but another has not.
1793 This option defaults to @code{true}.
1795 @itemx restrict_anonymous_to_tgt
1796 A boolean value (@code{true}, @code{false}). If set to @code{true}, the
1797 KDC will reject ticket requests from anonymous principals to service
1798 principals other than the realm's ticket-granting service. This option
1799 allows anonymous PKINIT to be enabled for use as FAST armor tickets

1969 Your Kerberos database contains all of your realm's Kerberos principals,
1970 their passwords, and other administrative information about each
1971 principal. For the most part, you will use the @code{kdb5_util} program
1972 to manipulate the Kerberos database as a whole, and the @code{kadmin}
1973 program to make changes to the entries in the database. (One notable
1974 exception is that users will use the @code{kpasswd} program to change
1975 their own passwords.) The @code{kadmin} program has its own
1976 command-line interface, to which you type the database administrating
1979 @code{Kdb5_util} provides a means to create, delete, load, or dump a
1980 Kerberos database. It also includes a command to stash a copy of the
1981 master database key in a file on a KDC, so that the KDC can authenticate
1982 itself to the @code{kadmind} and @code{krb5kdc} daemons at boot time.
1984 @code{Kadmin} provides for the maintenance of Kerberos principals, KADM5
1985 policies, and service key tables (keytabs). It exists as both a
1986 Kerberos client, @code{kadmin}, using Kerberos authentication and an
1987 RPC, to operate securely from anywhere on the network, and as a local
1988 client, @code{kadmin.local}, intended to run directly on the KDC without
1989 Kerberos authentication. @code{kadmin.local} need not run on the kdc if
1990 the database is LDAP. Other than the fact that the remote client uses
1991 Kerberos to authenticate the person using it, the functionalities of the two
1992 versions are identical. The local version is necessary to enable you to set up
1993 enough of the database to be able to use the remote version.
1994 It replaces the now obsolete @code{kdb5_edit} (except for
1995 database dump and load, which are provided by @code{kdb5_util}).
1997 The remote version authenticates to the KADM5 server using the service
1998 principal @code{kadmin/admin}. If the credentials cache contains a
1999 ticket for the @code{kadmin/admin} principal, and the @samp{-c ccache}
2000 option is specified, that ticket is used to authenticate to KADM5.
2001 Otherwise, the @samp{-p} and @samp{-k} options are used to specify the
2002 client Kerberos principal name used to authenticate. Once kadmin has
2003 determined the principal name, it requests a @code{kadmin/admin}
2004 Kerberos service ticket from the KDC, and uses that service ticket to
2005 authenticate to KADM5.

2042 Use the keytab @i{keytab} to decrypt the KDC response instead of
2043 prompting for a password on the TTY. In this case, the principal will
2044 be @samp{host/@i{hostname}}. If @b{-t} is not used to specify a keytab,
2045 then the default keytab will be used.
2047 @item @b{-c} @i{credentials cache}
2048 Use @i{credentials_cache} as the credentials cache. The credentials
2049 cache should contain a service ticket for the @code{kadmin/admin}
2050 service, which can be acquired with the @code{kinit} program. If this
2051 option is not specified, @code{kadmin} requests a new service ticket
2052 from the KDC, and stores it in its own temporary ccache.
2054 @item @b{-w} @i{password}
2055 Use @i{password} as the password instead of prompting for one on the
2056 TTY. Note: placing the password for a Kerberos principal with
2057 administration access into a shell script can be dangerous if
2058 unauthorized users gain read access to the script.
2060 @item @b{-x} @i{db_args}
2061 Specifies the database specific arguments.
2063 @item @b{-x} @i{host=<hostname>}
2064 Specifies the LDAP server to connect to by a LDAP URI. It is recommend to use
2065 ldapi:// or ldaps:// interface to connect to the LDAP server.
2067 @item @b{-x} @i{binddn=<bind_dn>}
2068 Specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of the object used by the administration server to bind to the LDAP server. This object should have the read and write rights on the realm container, principal container and realm subtree.
2070 @item @b{-x} @i{bindpwd=<bind_password>}
2071 Specifies the password for the above mentioned binddn. It is recommended not to
2072 use this option. Instead, the password can be stashed using the
2073 stashsrvpw command of kdb5_ldap_util.
2075 Note: This database specific argument is applicable only to kadmin.local
2076 and the KADM5 server.
2078 @item @b{-s} @i{admin_server[:port]}
2079 Specifies the admin server that kadmin should contact.
2082 You can invoke @code{kadmin.local} with an of the follwing options:
2084 @item @b{-d_ @i{dbname}}
2085 Specifies the name of the Kerberos database.
2087 @item @b{-e} @i{"enctypes ..."}
2088 Sets the list of cryptosystem and salt types to be used for any new
2089 keys created. See @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and @ref{Salts} for
2093 Do not authenticate using a keytab. This option will cause kadmin to

2278 To add a principal to the database, use the kadmin @code{add_principal}
2279 command, which requires the ``add'' administrative privilege. This
2280 function creates the new principal, prompting twice for a password, and,
2281 if neither the -policy nor -clearpolicy options are specified and the
2282 policy ``default'' exists, assigns it that policy. The syntax is:
2285 @b{kadmin:} add_principal [@i{options}] @i{principal}
2288 To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin
2289 @code{modify_principal} command, which requires the ``modify''
2290 administrative privilege. The syntax is:
2293 @b{kadmin:} modify_principal [@i{options}] @i{principal}
2297 @code{add_principal} has the aliases @code{addprinc} and
2298 @code{ank}@footnote{@code{ank} was the short form of the equivalent
2299 command using the deprecated @code{kadmin5} database administrative tool.
2300 It has been kept}. @code{modify_principal} has the alias @code{modprinc}.
2302 The @code{add_principal} and @code{modify_principal} commands take the
2306 @item @b{-x} @i{db_princ_args}
2307 Denotes the database specific options.
2309 The options for LDAP database are:
2311 @item @b{-x} @i{dn=<dn>}
2312 Specifies the LDAP object that will contain the Kerberos principal being created.
2314 @item @b{-x} @i{linkdn=<dn>}
2315 Specifies the LDAP object to which the newly created Kerberos principal object will point to.
2317 @item @b{-x} @i{containerdn=<container_dn>}
2318 Specifies the container object under which the Kerberos principal is to be created.
2320 @item @b{-x} @i{tktpolicy=<policy>}
2321 Associates a ticket policy to the Kerberos principal. Specifying an empty string
2322 value clears the ticket policy associated with the principal.
2326 * dn and containerdn options are not valid while modifying the principal.
2328 * containerdn and linkdn options cannot be specified with dn option.
2330 * If dn or containerdn options are not specified while adding the principal, the principals are created
2331 under the prinicipal container configured in the realm or the realm container.
2332 * dn and containerdn should be within the subtrees or principal container configured in the realm.
2335 @item -expire @i{date}
2336 Sets the expiration date of the principal to @i{date}.
2338 @item -pwexpire @i{date}
2339 Sets the expiration date of the password to @i{date}.
2341 @item -maxlife @i{maxlife}
2342 Sets the maximum ticket life of the principal to @i{maxlife}.
2344 @item -maxrenewlife @i{maxrenewlife}
2345 Sets the maximum renewable life of tickets for the principal to
2348 @item -kvno @i{number}
2349 Explicity sets the key version number to @i{number}. @value{COMPANY}
2350 does not recommend doing this unless there is a specific reason.
2352 @item -policy @i{policy}
2353 Sets the policy used by this principal. (@xref{Policies}.) With
2354 @code{modify_principal}, the current policy assigned to the principal is
2355 set or changed. With @code{add_principal}, if this option is not
2356 supplied, the -clearpolicy is not specified, and the policy ``default''
2357 exists, that policy is assigned. If a principal is created with no
2358 policy, @code{kadmin} will print a warning message.
2361 For @code{modify_principal}, removes the current policy from a
2362 principal. For @code{add_principal}, suppresses the automatic
2363 assignment of the policy ``default''.
2365 @item @{-|+@}allow_postdated
2366 The ``-allow_postdated'' option prohibits this principal from obtaining
2367 postdated tickets. ``+allow_postdated'' clears this flag. In effect,
2368 ``-allow_postdated'' sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_POSTDATED flag on the
2369 principal in the database.
2371 @item @{-|+@}allow_forwardable
2372 The ``-allow_forwardable'' option prohibits this principal from
2373 obtaining forwardable tickets. ``+allow_forwardable'' clears this flag.
2374 In effect, ``-allow_forwardable'' sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_FORWARDABLE
2375 flag on the principal in the database.
2377 @item @{-|+@}allow_renewable
2378 The ``-allow_renewable'' option prohibits this principal from obtaining
2379 renewable tickets. ``+allow_renewable'' clears this flag. In effect,
2380 ``-allow_renewable'' sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_RENEWABLE flag on the
2381 principal in the database.
2383 @item @{-|+@}allow_proxiable
2384 The ``-allow_proxiable'' option prohibits this principal from obtaining
2385 proxiable tickets. ``+allow_proxiable'' clears this flag. In effect,
2386 ``-allow_proxiable'' sets the @* KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_PROXIABLE flag. on
2387 the principal in the database.
2389 @item @{-|+@}allow_dup_skey
2390 The ``-allow_dup_skey'' option disables user-to-user authentication for
2391 this principal by prohibiting this principal from obtaining a session
2392 key for another user. ``+allow_dup_skey'' clears this flag. In effect,
2393 ``-allow_dup_skey'' sets the @* KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_DUP_SKEY flag on the
2394 principal in the database.
2396 @item @{-|+@}requires_preauth
2397 The ``+requires_preauth'' option requires this principal to
2398 preauthenticate before being allowed to kinit. -requires_preauth clears
2399 this flag. In effect, +requires_preauth sets the
2400 KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_PRE_AUTH flag on the principal in the database.
2402 @item @{-|+@}requires_hwauth
2403 The ``+requires_hwauth'' flag requires the principal to preauthenticate
2404 using a hardware device before being allowed to kinit.
2405 ``-requires_hwauth'' clears this flag. In effect, ``+requires_hwauth''
2406 sets the KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_HW_AUTH flag on the principal in the
2409 @item @{-|+@}allow_svr
2410 The ``-allow_svr'' flag prohibits the issuance of service tickets for
2411 this principal. ``+allow_svr'' clears this flag. In effect,
2412 ``-allow_svr'' sets the @* KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_SVR flag on the principal
2415 @item @{-|+@}allow_tgs_req
2416 The ``-allow_tgs_req'' option specifies that a Ticket-Granting Service
2417 (TGS) request for a service ticket for this principal is not permitted.
2418 You will probably never need to use this option. ``+allow_tgs_req''
2419 clears this flag. The default is ``+allow_tgs_req''. In effect,
2420 ``-allow_tgs_req'' sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_TGT_BASED flag on the
2421 principal in the database.
2423 @item @{-|+@}allow_tix
2424 The ``-allow_tix'' option forbids the issuance of any tickets for this
2425 principal. ``+allow_tix'' clears this flag. The default is
2426 ``+allow_tix''. In effect, ``-allow_tix'' sets the @*
2427 KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_ALL_TIX flag on the principal in the database.
2429 @item @{-|+@}needchange
2430 The ``+needchange'' option sets a flag in attributes field to force a
2431 password change; ``-needchange'' clears it. The default is
2432 ``-needchange''. In effect, ``+needchange'' sets the
2433 KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_PWCHANGE flag on the principal in the database.
2435 @item @{-|+@}password_changing_service
2436 The ``+password_changing_service'' option sets a flag in the attributes
2437 field marking this principal as a password change service. (Again, you
2438 will probably never need to use this option.)
2439 ``-password_changing_service'' clears the flag. The default is
2440 ``-password_changing_service''. In effect, the
2441 ``+password_changing_service'' option sets the KRB5_KDB_PWCHANGE_SERVICE
2442 flag on the principal in the database.
2444 @item @{-|+@}ok_as_delegate
2445 The ``+ok_as_delegate'' option sets a flag in tickets issued for the
2446 service principal. Some client programs may recognize this flag as
2447 indicating that it is okay to delegate credentials to the service. If
2448 ok_as_delegate is set on a cross-realm TGT, it indicates that the
2449 foreign realm's ok_as_delegate flags should be honored by clients in
2450 the local realm. The default is ``-ok_as_delegate''.
2453 Sets the key for the principal to a random value (@code{add_principal}
2454 only). @value{COMPANY} recommends using this option for host keys.
2456 @item -pw @i{password}
2457 Sets the key of the principal to the specified string and does not
2458 prompt for a password (@code{add_principal} only). @value{COMPANY} does
2459 not recommend using this option.
2461 @item -e @i{enc:salt...}
2462 Uses the specified list of enctype-salttype pairs for setting the key
2463 of the principal. The quotes are necessary if there are multiple
2464 enctype-salttype pairs. This will not function against kadmin daemons
2465 earlier than krb5-1.2. See @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and
2466 @ref{Salts} for available types.
2469 Unlocks a locked principal (one which has received too many failed
2470 authentication attempts without enough time between them according to
2471 its password policy) so that it can successfully authenticate.
2474 If you want to just use the default values, all you need to do is:
2478 @b{kadmin:} addprinc @value{RANDOMUSER1}
2479 @b{WARNING: no policy specified for "@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
2480 defaulting to no policy.}

2493 @b{Principal "@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
2498 If you want to create a principal which is contained by a LDAP object, all you need to do is:
2502 @b{kadmin:} addprinc -x dn=cn=@value{RANDOMUSER1},dc=example,dc=com @value{RANDOMUSER1}
2503 @b{WARNING: no policy specified for "@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";

2517 @b{Principal "@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
2522 If you want to create a principal under a specific LDAP container and link to an existing LDAP object, all you need to do is:
2526 @b{kadmin:} addprinc -x containerdn=dc=example,dc=com -x linkdn=cn=@value{RANDOMUSER2},dc=example,dc=com @value{RANDOMUSER2}
2527 @b{WARNING: no policy specified for "@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";

2541 @b{Principal "@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
2546 If you want to associate a ticket policy to a principal, all you need to do is:
2550 @b{kadmin:} modprinc -x tktpolicy=userpolicy @value{RANDOMUSER2}
2551 @b{Principal "@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" modified.
2556 If, on the other hand, you want to set up an account that expires on
2557 January 1, 2000, that uses a policy called ``stduser'', with a temporary
2558 password (which you want the user to change immediately), you would type
2559 the following. (Note: each line beginning with @result{} is a
2560 continuation of the previous line.)
2565 @b{kadmin:} addprinc @value{RANDOMUSER2} -expire "1/1/2000 12:01am EST" -policy stduser

2580 @value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{<= Type it again.}
2582 @b{Principal "@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
2588 If you will need cross-realm authentication, you need to add principals
2589 for the other realm's TGT to each realm. For example, if you need to
2590 do cross-realm authentication between the realms @value{PRIMARYREALM}
2591 and @value{SECONDREALM}, you would need to add the principals @*
2592 @samp{krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}} and
2593 @samp{krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}} to both
2594 databases. You need to be sure the passwords and the key version
2595 numbers (kvno) are the same in both databases. This may require
2596 explicitly setting the kvno with the @samp{-kvno} option. See
2597 @ref{Cross-realm Authentication} for more details.

4044 @node Cross-realm Authentication, Changing the krbtgt Key, Global Operations on the Kerberos LDAP Database, Administrating the Kerberos Database
4045 @section Cross-realm Authentication
4047 In order for a KDC in one realm to authenticate Kerberos users in a
4048 different realm, it must share a key with the KDC in the other realm.
4049 In both databases, there must be krbtgt service principals for realms.
4050 These principals should all have the same passwords, key version
4051 numbers, and encryption types. For example, if the administrators of
4052 @value{PRIMARYREALM} and @value{SECONDREALM} wanted to authenticate
4053 across the realms, they would run the following commands on the KDCs in
4058 @b{shell%:} kadmin.local -e "des3-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-crc:v4"
4059 @b{kadmin:} addprinc -requires_preauth krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}

4061 @b{Re-enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}:}
4062 @b{kadmin:} addprinc -requires_preauth krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
4063 @b{Enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}
4064 @b{Enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}
4069 Even if most principals in a realm are generally created with the
4070 requires_preauth flag enabled, this flag is not desirable on
4071 cross-realm authentication keys because doing so makes it impossible to
4072 disable preauthentication on a service-by-service basis. Disabling it
4073 as in the example above is recommended.
4075 It is also very important that these principals have good passwords.
4076 @value{COMPANY} recommends that TGT principal passwords be at least 26
4077 characters of random ASCII text.
4079 @node Changing the krbtgt Key, , Cross-realm Authentication, Administrating the Kerberos Database
4080 @section Changing the krbtgt Key
4082 A Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) is a service ticket for the
4083 principal krbtgt/@i{REALM}. The key for this principal is created when
4084 the Kerberos database is initialized and need not be changed. However,
4085 it will only have the encryption types supported by the KDC at the time
4086 of the initial database creation. To allow use of newer encryption
4087 types for the TGT, this key has to be changed.
4089 Changing this key using the normal @code{kadmin change_password} command
4090 would invalidate any previously issued TGTs. Therefore, when changing
4091 this key, normally one should use the @b{-keepold} flag to
4092 @code{change_password} to retain the previous key in the database as
4093 well as the new key. For example:
4097 @b{kadmin:} change_password -randkey -keepold krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
4101 After issuing this command, the old key is still valid and is still
4102 vulnerable to (for instance) brute force attacks. To completely
4103 retire an old key or encryption type, run the @code{purgekeys} command
4104 to delete keys with older kvnos, ideally first making sure that all
4105 tickets issued with the old keys have expired.

4279 entries. Currently we provide no mechanism provided for creating
4280 aliases, so it must be done by direct manipulation of the LDAP
4283 An entry with aliases contains multiple values of the krbPrincipalName
4284 attribute. Since LDAP attribute values are not ordered, it is
4285 necessary to specify which principal name is canonical, by using the
4286 krbCanonicalName attribute. Therefore, to create aliases for an
4287 entry, first set the krbCanonicalName attribute of the entry to the
4288 canonical principal name (which should be identical to the
4289 pre-existing krbPrincipalName value), and then add additional
4290 krbPrincipalName attributes for the aliases.
4292 Principal aliases are only returned by the KDC when the client
4293 requests canonicalization. Canonicalization is normally requested for
4294 service principals; for client principals, an explicit flag is often
4295 required (e.g. @code{kinit -C}) and canonicalization is only performed
4296 for initial ticket requests.

4339 ``inquire'' administrative privilege. (If you use the @b{-glob}
4340 @i{princ_exp} option, it also requires the ``list'' administrative
4341 privilege.) The syntax is:

4345 @i{key:salt_list}] [@i{principal} | @b{-glob} @i{princ_exp}]

4352 @item -k[eytab] @i{keytab}
4353 use @i{keytab} as the keytab file. Otherwise, @code{ktadd} will use the
4354 default keytab file (@code{@value{DefaultDefaultKeytabName}}).
4356 @item @b{-e} @i{"enc:salt..."}
4357 Uses the specified list of enctype-salttype pairs for setting the key
4358 of the principal. The quotes are necessary if there are multiple
4359 enctype-salttype pairs. This will not function against kadmin daemons
4360 earlier than krb5-1.2. See @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and

4496 @value{RANDOMHOST1IP} @value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} trillium wake-robin
4500 Additionally, on Solaris machines, you need to be sure the ``hosts''
4501 entry in the file @* @code{/etc/nsswitch.conf} includes the source
4502 ``dns'' as well as ``file''.
4504 Finally, each host's keytab file must include a host/key pair for the
4505 host's canonical name. You can list the keys in a keytab file by
4506 issuing the command @code{klist -k}. For example:
4511 Keytab name: /etc/krb5.keytab
4513 ---- ------------------------------------------------------------
4514 1 host/@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
4518 If you telnet to the host with a fresh credentials cache (ticket file),
4519 and then @code{klist}, the host's service principal should be
4520 @i{host/fully-qualified-hostname@@REALM_NAME}.

4523 @section Configuring Your Firewall to Work With @value{PRODUCT}
4525 If you need off-site users to be able to get Kerberos tickets in your
4526 realm, they must be able to get to your KDC. This requires either that
4527 you have a slave KDC outside your firewall, or you configure your
4528 firewall to allow UDP requests into at least one of your KDCs, on
4529 whichever port the KDC is running. (The default is port
4530 @value{DefaultPort}; other ports may be specified in the KDC's kdc.conf
4531 file.) Similarly, if you need off-site users to be able to change
4532 their passwords in your realm, they must be able to get to your
4533 Kerberos admin server. The default port for the admin server is
4534 @value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
4536 If your on-site users inside your firewall will need to get to KDCs in
4537 other realms, you will also need to configure your firewall to allow
4538 outgoing TCP and UDP requests to port @value{DefaultPort}.
4539 Additionally, if they will need to get to any Kerberos V4 KDCs, you may
4540 also need to allow TCP and UDP requests to port
4541 @value{DefaultSecondPort}. If your on-site users inside your firewall
4542 will need to get to Kerberos admin servers in other realms, you will
4543 also need to allow outgoing TCP and UDP requests to port
4544 @value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
4546 If any of your KDCs are outside your firewall, you will need to allow
4547 @code{kprop} requests to get through to the remote KDC. @code{Kprop}
4548 uses the krb5_prop service on port @value{DefaultKrbPropPort} (tcp).
4550 If you need your off-site users to have access to machines inside your
4551 firewall, you need to allow TCP connections from their off-site hosts on
4552 the appropriate ports for the programs they will be using. The
4553 following lines from @code{/etc/services} show the default port numbers
4554 for the @value{PRODUCT} programs:
4558 ftp @value{DefaultFTPPort}/tcp # Kerberos ftp and telnet use the
4559 telnet @value{DefaultTelnetPort}/tcp # default ports
4560 kerberos @value{DefaultPort}/udp kdc # Kerberos V5 KDC
4561 kerberos @value{DefaultPort}/tcp kdc # Kerberos V5 KDC
4562 klogin @value{DefaultKloginPort}/tcp # Kerberos authenticated rlogin
4563 kshell @value{DefaultKshellPort}/tcp cmd # and remote shell
4564 kerberos-adm @value{DefaultKadmindPort}/tcp # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
4565 kerberos-adm @value{DefaultKadmindPort}/udp # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
4566 krb5_prop @value{DefaultKrbPropPort}/tcp # Kerberos slave propagation
4567 @c kpop 1109/tcp # Pop with Kerberos
4568 eklogin @value{DefaultEkloginPort}/tcp # Kerberos auth. & encrypted rlogin
4572 By default, @value{PRODUCT} @code{telnet} and @code{ftp} use the same
4573 ports as the standard @code{telnet} and @code{ftp} programs, so if you
4574 already allow telnet and ftp connections through your firewall, the
4575 @value{PRODUCT} versions will get through as well. If you do not
4576 already allow telnet and ftp connections through your firewall, but need
4577 your users to be able to use @value{PRODUCT} telnet and ftp, you can
4578 either allow ftp and telnet connections on the standard ports, or switch
4579 these programs to non-default port numbers and allow ftp and telnet
4580 connections on those ports to get through.
4582 @value{PRODUCT} @code{rlogin} uses the @code{klogin} service, which by
4583 default uses port @value{DefaultKloginPort}. Encrypted @value{PRODUCT}
4584 rlogin uses the @code{eklogin} service, which by default uses port
4585 @value{DefaultEkloginPort}.
4587 @value{PRODUCT} @code{rsh} uses the @code{kshell} service, which by
4588 default uses port @value{DefaultKshellPort}. However, the server must
4589 be able to make a TCP connection from the kshell port to an arbitrary
4590 port on the client, so if your users are to be able to use @code{rsh}
4591 from outside your firewall, the server they connect to must be able to
4592 send outgoing packets to arbitrary port numbers. Similarly, if your
4593 users need to run @code{rsh} from inside your firewall to hosts outside
4594 your firewall, the outside server needs to be able to connect to an
4595 arbitrary port on the machine inside your firewall. Because
4596 @value{PRODUCT} @code{rcp} uses @code{rsh}, the same issues apply. If
4597 you need to use @code{rsh} (or @code{rcp}) through your firewall and
4598 are concerned with the security implications of allowing connections to
4599 arbitrary ports, @value{COMPANY} suggests that you have rules that
4600 specifically name these applications and, if possible, list the allowed
4603 The book @cite{UNIX System Security}, by David Curry, is a good
4604 starting point for learning to configure firewalls.

4616 When you back up a secure host, you should exclude the host's keytab
4617 file from the backup. If someone obtained a copy of the keytab from a
4618 backup, that person could make any host masquerade as the host whose
4619 keytab was compromised. This could be particularly dangerous if the
4620 compromised keytab was from one of your KDCs. If the machine has a disk
4621 crash and the keytab file is lost, it is easy to generate another keytab
4622 file. (@xref{Adding Principals to Keytabs}.) If you are unable to
4623 exclude particular files from backups, you should ensure that the
4624 backups are kept as secure as the host's root password.
4627 * Backing Up the Kerberos Database::
4630 @node Backing Up the Kerberos Database, , Backups of Secure Hosts, Backups of Secure Hosts
4631 @section Backing Up the Kerberos Database
4633 As with any file, it is possible that your Kerberos database could
4634 become corrupted. If this happens on one of the slave KDCs, you might
4635 never notice, since the next automatic propagation of the database would
4636 install a fresh copy. However, if it happens to the master KDC, the
4637 corrupted database would be propagated to all of the slaves during the
4638 next propagation. For this reason, @value{COMPANY} recommends that you
4639 back up your Kerberos database regularly. Because the master KDC is
4640 continuously dumping the database to a file in order to propagate it to
4641 the slave KDCs, it is a simple matter to have a cron job periodically
4642 copy the dump file to a secure machine elsewhere on your network. (Of
4643 course, it is important to make the host where these backups are stored
4644 as secure as your KDCs, and to encrypt its transmission across your
4645 network.) Then if your database becomes corrupted, you can load the
4646 most recent dump onto the master KDC. (@xref{Restoring a Kerberos
4647 Database from a Dump File}.)
