@ifset CYGNUS
@value{PRODUCT} is based on the Kerberos V5 authentication system
developed at MIT.
@end ifset
@ifset MIT
Kerberos V5 is an authentication system developed at MIT.
@end ifset
Kerberos is named for the three-headed watchdog from Greek mythology,
who guarded the entrance to the underworld.

Under Kerberos, a client (generally either a user or a service) sends a
request for a ticket to the @i{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.

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{COMPANY}'s @value{PRODUCT} plays a vital role in maintaining your
network security.

The @value{PRODUCT} package is designed to be easy to use.  Most of the
commands are nearly identical to UNIX network programs you already
use.  @value{PRODUCT} is a @dfn{single-sign-on} system, which means
that you have to type your password only once per session, and Kerberos
does the authenticating and encrypting transparently.

@node What is a Ticket?, What is a Kerberos Principal?, Introduction, Introduction
@section What is a Ticket?

Your Kerberos @dfn{credentials}, or ``@dfn{tickets}'', are a set of
electronic information that can be used to verify your identity.  Your
Kerberos tickets may be stored in a file, or they may exist only in
memory.

The first ticket you obtain is a @dfn{ticket-granting ticket}, which
permits you to obtain additional tickets.  These additional tickets give
you permission for specific services.  The requesting and granting of
these additional tickets happens transparently.

A good analogy for the ticket-granting ticket is a three-day ski pass
that is good at four different resorts.  You show the pass at whichever
resort you decide to go to (until it expires), and you receive a lift
ticket for that resort.  Once you have the lift ticket, you can ski all
you want at that resort.  If you go to another resort the next day, you
once again show your pass, and you get an additional lift ticket for the
new resort.  The difference is that the @value{PRODUCT} programs notice
that you have the weekend ski pass, and get the lift ticket for you, so
you don't have to perform the transactions yourself.

@node What is a Kerberos Principal?,  , What is a Ticket?, Introduction
@section What is a Kerberos Principal?

A Kerberos @dfn{principal} is a unique identity to which Kerberos can
assign tickets.  Principals can have an arbitrary number of
components.  Each component is separated by a component separator,
generally `/'.  The last component is the realm, separated from the
rest of the principal by the realm separator, generally `@@'.  If there
is no realm component in the principal, then it will be assumed that
the principal is in the default realm for the context in which it is
being used.

Traditionally, a principal is divided into three parts:  the
@dfn{primary}, the @dfn{instance}, and the @dfn{realm}.  The format of
a typical Kerberos V5 principal is @code{primary/instance@@REALM}.

@itemize @bullet
@item The @dfn{primary} is the first part of the principal.  In the case
of a user, it's the same as your username.  For a host, the primary is
the word @code{host}.

@item The @dfn{instance} is an optional string that qualifies the
primary.  The instance is separated from the primary by a slash
(@code{/}).  In the case of a user, the instance is usually null, but a
user might also have an additional principal, with an instance called
@samp{admin}, which he/she uses to administrate a database.  The
principal @code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}} is completely
separate from the principal
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}}, with a separate
password, and separate permissions.  In the case of a host, the instance
is the fully qualified hostname, e.g.,
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}.

@item The @dfn{realm} is your Kerberos realm.  In most cases, your
Kerberos realm is your domain name, in upper-case letters.  For example,
the machine @code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{SECONDDOMAIN}} would be in
the realm @code{@value{SECONDREALM}}.

@chapter Kerberos V5 Tutorial

This tutorial is intended to familiarize you with the @value{PRODUCT}
client programs.  We will represent your prompt as ``@code{shell%}''.
So an instruction to type the ``@kbd{ls}'' command would be represented as
follows:

@need 600

@group
@b{shell%} ls
@end group
@end smallexample

In these examples, we will use sample usernames, such as
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} and @code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}}, sample
hostnames, such as @code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}} and
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST2}}, and sample domain names, such as
@code{@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}} and @code{@value{SECONDDOMAIN}}.  When you
see one of these, substitute your username, hostname, or domain name
accordingly.

Your system administrator will have installed the @value{PRODUCT}
programs in whichever directory makes the most sense for your system.
We will use @code{@value{ROOTDIR}} throughout this guide to refer to the
top-level directory @value{PRODUCT} directory.  We will therefor use
@code{@value{BINDIR}} to denote the location of the @value{PRODUCT} user
programs.  In your installation, the directory name may be different,
but whatever the directory name is, you should make sure it is included
in your path.  You will probably want to put it @i{ahead of} the
directories @code{/bin} and @code{/usr/bin} so you will get the
@value{PRODUCT} network programs, rather than the standard UNIX
versions, when you type their command names.

@node Ticket Management, Password Management, Setting Up to Use Kerberos V5, Kerberos V5 Tutorial
@section Ticket Management

On many systems, Kerberos is built into the login program, and you get
tickets automatically when you log in.  Other programs, such as
@code{rsh}, @code{rcp}, @code{telnet}, and @code{rlogin}, can forward
copies of your tickets to the remote host.  Most of these programs also
automatically destroy your tickets when they exit.  However,
@value{COMPANY} recommends that you explicitly destroy your Kerberos
tickets when you are through with them, just to be sure.  One way to
help ensure that this happens is to add the @code{kdestroy} command to
your @code{.logout} file.  Additionally, if you are going to be away
from your machine and are concerned about an intruder using your
permissions, it is safest to either destroy all copies of your tickets,
or use a screensaver that locks the screen.

@subsection Kerberos Ticket Properties

@noindent
There are various properties that Kerberos tickets can have:

If a ticket is @dfn{forwardable}, then the KDC can issue a new ticket with
a different network address based on the forwardable ticket.  This
allows for authentication forwarding without requiring a password to be
typed in again.  For example, if a user with a forwardable TGT logs
into a remote system, the KDC could issue a new TGT for that user with
the network address of the remote system, allowing authentication on
that host to work as though the user were logged in locally.

When the KDC creates a new ticket based on a forwardable ticket, it
sets the @dfn{forwarded} flag on that new ticket.  Any tickets that are
created based on a ticket with the forwarded flag set will also have
their forwarded flags set.

A @dfn{proxiable} ticket is similar to a forwardable ticket in that it
allows a service to take on the identity of the client.  Unlike a
forwardable ticket, however, a proxiable ticket is only issued for
specific services.  In other words, a ticket-granting ticket cannot be
issued based on a ticket that is proxiable but not forwardable.

A @dfn{proxy} ticket is one that was issued based on a proxiable ticket.

A @dfn{postdated} ticket is issued with the @i{invalid} flag set.
After the starting time listed on the ticket, it can be presented to
the KDC to obtain valid tickets.  

Tickets with the @dfn{postdateable} flag set can be used to issue postdated
tickets.

@dfn{Renewable} tickets can be used to obtain new session keys without
the user entering their password again.  A renewable ticket has two
expiration times.  The first is the time at which this particular
ticket expires.  The second is the latest possible expiration time for
any ticket issued based on this renewable ticket.

A ticket with the @dfn{initial} flag set was issued based on the
authentication protocol, and not on a ticket-granting ticket.   Clients
that wish to ensure that the user's key has been recently presented for
verification could specify that this flag must be set to accept the
ticket.

An @dfn{invalid} ticket must be rejected by application servers.  Postdated
tickets are usually issued with this flag set, and must be validated by
the KDC before they can be used.

A @dfn{preauthenticated} ticket is one that was only issued after the
client requesting the ticket had authenticated itself to the KDC.

The @dfn{hardware authentication} flag is set on a ticket which
required the use of hardware for authentication.  The hardware is
expected to be possessed only by the client which requested the
tickets.

If a ticket has the @dfn{transit policy checked} flag set, then the KDC that
issued this ticket implements the transited-realm check policy and
checked the transited-realms list on the ticket.  The transited-realms
list contains a list of all intermediate realms between the realm of the
KDC that issued the first ticket and that of the one that issued the
current ticket.  If this flag is not set, then the application server
must check the transited realms itself or else reject the ticket.

The @dfn{okay as delegate} flag indicates that the server specified in
the ticket is suitable as a delegate as determined by the policy of
that realm.  A server that is acting as a delegate has been granted a
proxy or a forwarded TGT.  This flag is a new addition to the
@value{PRODUCT} protocol and is not yet implemented on MIT servers.

An @dfn{anonymous}  ticket is one in which the named principal is a generic
principal for that realm; it does not actually specify the individual
that will be using the ticket.  This ticket is meant only to securely
distribute a session key.  This is a new addition to the @value{PRODUCT}
protocol and is not yet implemented on MIT servers.

@node Obtaining Tickets with kinit, Viewing Your Tickets with klist, Kerberos Ticket Properties, Ticket Management
@subsection Obtaining Tickets with kinit

If your site is using the @value{PRODUCT} login program, you will get
Kerberos tickets automatically when you log in.  If your site uses a
different login program, you may need to explicitly obtain your Kerberos
tickets, using the @code{kinit} program.  Similarly, if your Kerberos
tickets expire, use the @code{kinit} program to obtain new ones.

@need 1500
To use the @code{kinit} program, simply type @kbd{kinit} and then type
your password at the prompt.  For example, Jennifer (whose username is
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}}) works for Bleep, Inc. (a fictitious company
with the domain name @code{@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}} and the Kerberos realm
@code{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}).  She would type:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kinit
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{<-- [Type @value{RANDOMUSER1}'s password here.]}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@need 1000
If you type your password incorrectly, kinit will give you the following
error message:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kinit
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{<-- [Type the wrong password here.]}
@b{kinit: Password incorrect}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent and you won't get Kerberos tickets.

@noindent Notice that @code{kinit} assumes you want tickets for your own
username in your default realm.  
@need 1500
Suppose Jennifer's friend David is visiting, and he wants to borrow a
window to check his mail.  David needs to get tickets for himself in his
own realm, @value{SECONDREALM}.@footnote{Note:  the realm
@value{SECONDREALM} must be listed in your computer's Kerberos
configuration file, @code{/etc/krb5.conf}.}  He would type:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kinit @value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}:} @i{<-- [Type @value{RANDOMUSER2}'s password here.]}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent David would then have tickets which he could use to log onto
his own machine.  Note that he typed his password locally on Jennifer's
machine, but it never went over the network.  Kerberos on the local host
performed the authentication to the KDC in the other realm.

@need 1000
If you want to be able to forward your tickets to another host, you need
to request @dfn{forwardable} tickets.  You do this by specifying the
@kbd{-f} option:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kinit -f
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{<-- [Type your password here.]}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note that @code{kinit} does not tell you that it obtained forwardable
tickets; you can verify this using the @code{klist} command
(@pxref{Viewing Your Tickets with klist}).

Normally, your tickets are good for your system's default ticket
lifetime, which is ten hours on many systems.  You can specify a
different ticket lifetime with the @samp{-l} option.  Add the letter
@samp{s} to the value for seconds, @samp{m} for minutes, @samp{h} for
hours, or @samp{d} for days.
@need 1500
For example, to obtain forwardable tickets for
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}} that would be good for
three hours, you would type:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kinit -f -l 3h @value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}:} @i{<-- [Type @value{RANDOMUSER2}'s password here.]}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
You cannot mix units; specifying a lifetime of @samp{3h30m} would result
in an error.  Note also that most systems specify a maximum ticket
lifetime.  If you request a longer ticket lifetime, it will be
automatically truncated to the maximum lifetime.

@node Viewing Your Tickets with klist, Destroying Your Tickets with kdestroy, Obtaining Tickets with kinit, Ticket Management
@subsection Viewing Your Tickets with klist

The @code{klist} command shows your tickets.  When you first obtain
tickets, you will have only the ticket-granting ticket.  (@xref{What is
a Ticket?}.)  The listing would look like this:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_ttypa
Default principal: @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
06/07/04 19:49:21  06/08/04 05:49:19  krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
The ticket cache is the location of your ticket file.  In the above
example, this file is named @code{/tmp/krb5cc_ttypa}.  The default
principal is your kerberos @dfn{principal}.  (@pxref{What is a Kerberos
Principal?})

The ``valid starting'' and ``expires'' fields describe the period of
time during which the ticket is valid.  The @dfn{service principal}
describes each ticket.  The ticket-granting ticket has the primary
@code{krbtgt}, and the instance is the realm name.

@need 2000
Now, if @value{RANDOMUSER1} connected to the machine
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and then typed
@kbd{klist} again, she would have gotten the following result:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_ttypa
Default principal: @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
06/07/04 19:49:21  06/08/04 05:49:19  krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
06/07/04 20:22:30  06/08/04 05:49:19  host/@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
Here's what happened:  when @value{RANDOMUSER1} used telnet to connect
to the host @code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, the telnet
program presented her ticket-granting ticket to the KDC and requested a
host ticket for the host
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}.  The KDC sent the host
ticket, which telnet then presented to the host
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and she was allowed to
log in without typing her password.

@need 3000
Suppose your Kerberos tickets allow you to log into a host in another
domain, such as @code{@value{RANDOMHOST2}.@value{SECONDDOMAIN}}, which
is also in another Kerberos realm, @code{@value{SECONDREALM}}.  If you
telnet to this host, you will receive a ticket-granting ticket for the
realm @code{@value{SECONDREALM}}, plus the new @code{host} ticket for
@code{@value{RANDOMHOST2}.@value{SECONDDOMAIN}}.  @kbd{klist} will now
show:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_ttypa
Default principal: @value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
06/07/04 19:49:21  06/08/04 05:49:19  krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
06/07/04 20:22:30  06/08/04 05:49:19  host/@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}

your tickets.  The flags are:

Your Kerberos tickets are proof that you are indeed yourself, and
tickets can be stolen.  If this happens, the person who has them can
masquerade as you until they expire.  For this reason, you should

@node Password Management, Kerberos V5 Applications, Ticket Management, Kerberos V5 Tutorial
@section Password Management

Your password is the only way Kerberos has of verifying your identity.
If someone finds out your password, that person can masquerade as
you---send email that comes from you, read, edit, or delete your files,
or log into other hosts as you---and no one will be able to tell the
difference.  For this reason, it is important that you choose a good
password (@pxref{Password Advice}), and keep it secret.  If you need to
give access to your account to someone else, you can do so through
Kerberos.  (@xref{Granting Access to Your Account}.)  You should
@i{never} tell your password to anyone, including your system
administrator, for any reason.  You should change your password
frequently, particularly any time you think someone may have found out
what it is.

@subsection Changing Your Password

@need 2500
To change your Kerberos password, use the @code{kpasswd} command.  It
will ask you for your old password (to prevent someone else from walking
up to your computer when you're not there and changing your password),
and then prompt you for the new one twice.  (The reason you have to type
it twice is to make sure you have typed it correctly.)  For example,
user @code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}} would do the following:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kpasswd
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER2}:}    @i{<- Type your old password.}
@b{Enter new password:}    @i{<- Type your new password.}
@b{Enter it again:}  @i{<- Type the new password again.}
@b{Password changed.}

Once you change your password, it takes some time for the change to
propagate through the system.  Depending on how your system is set up,
this might be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more.  If you
need to get new Kerberos tickets shortly after changing your password,
try the new password.  If the new password doesn't work, try again using
the old one.

@node Password Advice, Granting Access to Your Account, Changing Your Password, Password Management
@subsection Password Advice

Your password can include almost any character you can type (except
control keys and the ``enter'' key).  A good password is one you can
remember, but that no one else can easily guess.  Examples of @i{bad}
passwords are words that can be found in a dictionary, any common or
popular name, especially a famous person (or cartoon character), your
name or username in any form (@i{e.g.}, forward, backward, repeated
twice, @i{etc.}), your spouse's, child's, or pet's name, your birth
date, your social security number, and any sample password that appears
in this (or any other) manual.

@need 2200
@value{COMPANY} recommends that your password be at least 6 characters
long, and contain UPPER- and lower-case letters, numbers, and/or
punctuation marks.  Some passwords that would be good if they weren't
listed in this manual include:

@itemize @bullet
@item some initials, like ``GykoR-66.'' for ``Get your kicks on Route
66.''

@item an easy-to-pronounce nonsense word, like ``slaRooBey'' or
``krang-its''

@item a misspelled phrase, like ``2HotPeetzas!'' or ``ItzAGurl!!!''
@end itemize

@noindent Note:  don't actually use any of the above passwords.  They're
only meant to show you how to make up a good password.  Passwords that
appear in a manual are the first ones intruders will try.

@need 3800 
@value{PRODUCT} allows your system administrators to automatically
reject bad passwords, based on certain criteria, such as a password
dictionary or a minimum length.  For example, if the user
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}}, who had a policy "strict" that required a
minimum of 8 characaters, chose a password that was less than 8
characters, Kerberos would give an error message like the following:

@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kpasswd
@b{Password for @value{RANDOMUSER1}:}  @i{<- Type your old password here.}

@value{RANDOMUSER1}'s password is controlled by the policy strict, which
requires a minimum of 8 characters from at least 3 classes (the five classes
are lowercase, uppercase, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters).

@b{Enter new password:}  @i{<- Type an insecure new password.}
@b{Enter it again:}  @i{<- Type it again.}

kpasswd: Password is too short while attempting to change password.
Please choose another password.

@b{Enter new password:}  @i{<- Type a good password here.}
@b{Enter it again:}  @i{<- Type it again.}
@b{Password changed.
shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent Your system administrators can choose the message that is
displayed if you choose a bad password, so the message you see may be
different from the above example.

@node Granting Access to Your Account,  , Password Advice, Password Management
@subsection Granting Access to Your Account

@need 1800
If you need to give someone access to log into your account, you can do
so through Kerberos, without telling the person your password.  Simply
create a file called @code{.k5login} in your home directory.  This file
should contain the Kerberos principal (@xref{What is a Kerberos
Principal?}.) of each person to whom you wish to give access.  Each
principal must be on a separate line.  Here is a sample @code{.k5login}
file:

@smallexample
@group
@value{RANDOMUSER1}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@value{RANDOMUSER2}@@@value{SECONDREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent This file would allow the users @code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} and
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}} to use your user ID, provided that they had
Kerberos tickets in their respective realms.  If you will be logging
into other hosts across a network, you will want to include your own
Kerberos principal in your @code{.k5login} file on each of these hosts.

@need 1000
Using a @code{.k5login} file is much safer than giving out your
password, because:

@itemize @bullet
@item You can take access away any time simply by removing the principal
from your @code{.k5login} file.

@item Although the user has full access to your account on one
particular host (or set of hosts if your @code{.k5login} file is shared,
@i{e.g.}, over NFS), that user does not inherit your network privileges.

@item Kerberos keeps a log of who obtains tickets, so a system
administrator could find out, if necessary, who was capable of using
your user ID at a particular time.
@end itemize

One common application is to have a @code{.k5login} file in
@code{root}'s home directory, giving root access to that machine to the
Kerberos principals listed.  This allows system administrators to allow
users to become root locally, or to log in remotely as @code{root},
without their having to give out the root password, and without anyone
having to type the root password over the network.

@node Kerberos V5 Applications,  , Password Management, Kerberos V5 Tutorial
@section Kerberos V5 Applications

@value{PRODUCT} is a @dfn{single-sign-on} system.  This means that you
only have to type your password once, and the @value{PRODUCT} programs
do the authenticating (and optionally encrypting) for you.  The way this
works is that Kerberos has been built into each of a suite of network
programs.  For example, when you use a @value{PRODUCT} program to
connect to a remote host, the program, the KDC, and the remote host
perform a set of rapid negotiations.  When these negotiations are
completed, your program has proven your identity on your behalf to the
remote host, and the remote host has granted you access, all in the
space of a few seconds.

The @value{PRODUCT} applications are versions of existing UNIX network
programs with the Kerberos features added.

@subsection Overview of Additional Features

The @value{PRODUCT} @dfn{network programs} are those programs that
connect to another host somewhere on the internet.  These programs
include @code{rlogin}, @code{telnet}, @code{ftp}, @code{rsh},
@code{rcp}, and @code{ksu}.  These programs have all of the original
features of the corresponding non-Kerberos @code{rlogin}, @code{telnet},
@code{ftp}, @code{rsh}, @code{rcp}, and @code{su} programs, plus
additional features that transparently use your Kerberos tickets for
negotiating authentication and optional encryption with the remote host.
In most cases, all you'll notice is that you no longer have to type your
password, because Kerberos has already proven your identity.

The @value{PRODUCT} network programs allow you the options of forwarding
your tickets to the remote host (if you obtained forwardable tickets
with the @code{kinit} program; @pxref{Obtaining Tickets with kinit}), and
encrypting data transmitted between you and the remote host.

This section of the tutorial assumes you are familiar with the
non-Kerberos versions of these programs, and highlights the Kerberos
functions added in the @value{PRODUCT} package.

@node telnet, rlogin, Overview of Additional Features, Kerberos V5 Applications

@itemx -F
forwards a copy of your tickets to the remote host, and marks them
re-forwardable from the remote host.

@itemx -k @i{realm}
requests tickets for the remote host in the specified realm, instead of
determining the realm itself.

@itemx -K
uses your tickets to authenticate to the remote host, but does not log
you in.

@itemx -a
attempt automatic login using your tickets.  @code{telnet} will assume
the same username unless you explicitly specify another.

@itemx -x

If @code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} had not appeared in

@b{WARNING: Your password may be exposed if you enter it here and are logged

@b{ksu: Password incorrect

Now, suppose @code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}} did not want to give

give her permission to list his files and use the "more" command to view
them.  He could create a @code{.k5users} file giving her permission to
run only those specific commands.

@need 3500
The @code{.k5users} file is like the @code{.k5login} file, except that
each principal is optionally followed by a list of commands.  @code{ksu}
will let those principals execute only the commands listed, using the
@kbd{-e} option.  @code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}}'s @code{.k5users} file
might look like the following:

@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent The above @code{.k5users} file would let
@code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} run only the commands @code{/bin/ls} and
@code{/usr/bin/more}.  It would let @code{@value{ADMINUSER}} run only
the command @code{/bin/ls} if he had regular tickets, but if he had
tickets for his @code{admin} instance,
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}}, he would be able
to execute any command.  The last line gives @code{@value{RANDOMUSER2}}
in the realm @value{SECONDREALM} permission to execute any command.
(@i{I.e.}, having only a Kerberos principal on a line is equivalent to
giving that principal permission to execute @code{*}.)  This is so that
@value{RANDOMUSER2} can allow himself to execute commands when he logs
in, using Kerberos, from a machine in the realm @value{SECONDREALM}.

@need 2500
Then, when @code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} wanted to list his home directory,
she would type:

@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent If @code{@value{RANDOMUSER1}} had tried to give a different
command to @code{ksu}, it would have prompted for a password as with the

@itemx -f
requests forwardable tickets.  (@xref{Obtaining Tickets with kinit}.)  This
is only applicable if @code{ksu} needs to obtain tickets.

@itemx -l @i{lifetime}
sets the ticket lifetime.  (@xref{Obtaining Tickets with kinit}.)  This is

@itemx -z
tells @code{ksu} to copy your Kerberos tickets only if the UID you are
switching is the same as the Kerberos primary (either yours or the one
specified by the @kbd{-n} option).

@itemx -Z
tells @code{ksu} not to copy any Kerberos tickets to the new UID.

@itemx -e @i{command}
tells @code{ksu} to execute @i{command} and then exit.  See the
description of the @code{.k5users} file above.

@itemx -a @i{text}
(at the end of the command line) tells @code{ksu} to pass everything
after @samp{-a} to the target shell.
@end table

The full set of options to @value{PRODUCT} @code{ksu} are discussed
in the Reference section of this manual.  (@pxref{ksu Reference})

@node Kerberos V5 Reference, Kerberos Glossary, Kerberos V5 Tutorial, Top
@chapter Kerberos V5 Reference

This section will include copies of the manual pages for the
@value{PRODUCT} client programs.  You can read the manual entry for any
command by typing @code{man} @i{command}, where @i{command} is the name
of the command for which you want to read the manual entry.  For
example, to read the @code{kinit} manual entry, you would type:

@smallexample
@b{shell%} man kinit
@end smallexample

Note:  To be able to view the @value{PRODUCT} manual pages on line, you
may need to add the directory @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/man} to your MANPATH
environment variable.  (Remember to replace @code{@value{ROOTDIR}} with
the top-level directory in which @value{PRODUCT} is installed.)  For
example, if you had the the following line in your @code{.login}
file@footnote{The MANPATH variable may be specified in a different
initialization file, depending on your operating system.  Some of the
files in which you might specify environment variables include
@code{.login}, @code{.profile}, or @code{.cshrc}.}:

@smallexample
setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/man
@end smallexample

@noindent
and the @value{PRODUCT} man pages were in the directory
@code{/usr/@value{LCPRODUCT}/man}, you would change the line to the following:

@smallexample
setenv MANPATH /usr/@value{LCPRODUCT}/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man
@end smallexample

@ifinfo
Note to info users:  the manual pages are not available within this info
tree.  You can read them from emacs with the command:

@smallexample
M-x manual-entry @emph{command}
@end smallexample
