### Why Should I use Kerberos?

Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted, communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it provides a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a firewall either client is on. Since studies have shown that half of the computer security breaches in industry happen from inside firewalls, Kerberos V5 from MIT will play a vital role in the security of your network.

### Documentation for Kerberos V5

This document is one piece of the document set for Kerberos V5. The documents, and their intended audiences, are:

- Kerberos V5 Installation Guide: a concise guide for installing Kerberos V5. Kerberos administrators (particularly whoever will be making site-wide decisions about the installation) and the system administrators who will be installing the software should read this guide.
- Kerberos V5 System Administrator's Guide: a sysadmin's guide to administering a Kerberos installation. The System Administrator's Guide describes the administration software and suggests policies and procedures for administering a Kerberos installation. Anyone who will have administrative access to your Kerberos database should read this guide.
- Kerberos V5 UNIX User's Guide: a guide to using the Kerberos UNIX client programs. All users on UNIX systems should read this guide, particularly the "Tutorial" section.

## How Kerberos Works

This section provides a simplified description of a general user's interaction with the Kerberos system. This interaction happens transparently--users don't need to know and probably don't care about what's going on--but Kerberos administrators might find a schematic description of the process useful. This description glosses over a lot of details; for more information, see Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network Systems, a paper presented at Winter USENIX 1988, in Dallas, Texas. This paper can be retreived by FTP from `athena-dist.mit.edu`, in the location: `/pub/ATHENA/kerberos/doc/usenix.PS`.

Node:Network Services and Their Client Programs, Next:Kerberos Tickets, Previous:How Kerberos Works, Up:How Kerberos Works

### Network Services and Their Client Programs

In an environment that provides network services, you use client programs to request services from server programs that are somewhere on the network. Suppose you have logged in to a workstation and you want to `rlogin` to a typical UNIX host. You use the local `rlogin` client program to contact the remote machine's `rlogind` daemon.

Node:Kerberos Tickets, Next:The Kerberos Database, Previous:Network Services and Their Client Programs, Up:How Kerberos Works

### Kerberos Tickets

Under Kerberos, the `klogind` daemon allows you to login to a remote machine if you can provide `klogind` a Kerberos ticket which proves your identity. In addition to the ticket, you must also have possession of the corresponding ticket session key. The combination of a ticket and the ticket's session key is known as a credential.

Typically, a client program automatically obtains credentials identifying the person using the client program. The credentials are obtained from a Kerberos server that resides somewhere on the network. A Kerberos server maintains a database of user, server, and password information.

Node:The Kerberos Database, Next:Kerberos Realms, Previous:Kerberos Tickets, Up:How Kerberos Works

### The Kerberos Database

Kerberos will give you credentials only if you have an entry in the Kerberos server's Kerberos database. Your database entry includes your Kerberos principal (an identifying string, which is often just your username), and your Kerberos password. Every Kerberos user must have an entry in this database.

Node:Kerberos Realms, Next:The Ticket-Granting Ticket, Previous:The Kerberos Database, Up:How Kerberos Works

### Kerberos Realms

Each administrative domain will have its own Kerberos database, which contains information about the users and services for that particular site or administrative domain. This administrative domain is the Kerberos realm.

Each Kerberos realm will have at least one Kerberos server, where the master Kerberos database for that site or administrative domain is stored. A Kerberos realm may also have one or more slave servers, which have read-only copies of the Kerberos database that are periodically propagated from the master server. For more details on how this is done, see the "Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation" and "Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC" sections of the Kerberos V5 Installation Guide.

Node:The Ticket-Granting Ticket, Next:Network Services and the Master Database, Previous:Kerberos Realms, Up:How Kerberos Works

### The Ticket-Granting Ticket

The `kinit` command prompts for your password. If you enter it successfully, you will obtain a ticket-granting ticket and a ticket session key which gives you the right to use the ticket. This combination of the ticket and its associated key is known as your credentials. As illustrated below, client programs use your ticket-granting ticket credentials in order to obtain client-specific credentials as needed.

Your credentials are stored in a credentials cache, which is often just a file in `/tmp`. The credentials cache is also called the ticket file, especially in Kerberos V4 documentation. Note, however, that a credentials cache does not have to be stored in a file.

Node:Network Services and the Master Database, Next:The User/Kerberos Interaction, Previous:The Ticket-Granting Ticket, Up:How Kerberos Works

### Network Services and the Master Database

The master database also contains entries for all network services that require Kerberos authentication. Suppose that your site has a machine, `laughter.mit.edu`, that requires Kerberos authentication from anyone who wants to `rlogin` to it. The host's Kerberos realm is `ATHENA.MIT.EDU`.

This service must be registered in the Kerberos database, using the proper service name, which in this case is the principal:

         host/laughter.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

The `/` character separates the Kerberos primary (in this case, `host`) from the instance (in this case, `laughter.mit.edu`); the `@` character separates the realm name (in this case, `ATHENA.MIT.EDU`) from the rest of the principal. The primary, `host`, denotes the name or type of the service that is being offered: generic host-level access to the machine. The instance, `laughter.mit.edu`, names the specific machine that is offering this service. There will generally be many different machines, each offering one particular type of service, and the instance serves to give each one of these servers a different Kerberos principal.

Node:The Keytab File, Previous:Network Services and the Master Database, Up:Network Services and the Master Database

#### The Keytab File

For each service, there must also be a service key known only by Kerberos and the service. On the Kerberos server, the service key is stored in the Kerberos database.

On the server host, these service keys are stored in key tables, which are files known as keytabs.1 For example, the service keys used by services that run as root are usually stored in the keytab file `/etc/krb5.keytab`. N.B.: This service key is the equivalent of the service's password, and must be kept secure. Data which is meant to be read only by the service is encrypted using this key.

Node:The User/Kerberos Interaction, Next:Definitions, Previous:Network Services and the Master Database, Up:How Kerberos Works

### The User/Kerberos Interaction

Suppose that you walk up to a host intending to login to it, and then `rlogin` to the machine `laughter`. Here's what happens:

1. You login to the workstation and use the `kinit` command to get a ticket-granting ticket. This command prompts you for your Kerberos password. (On systems running the Kerberos V5 `login` program, this may be done as part of the login process, not requiring the user to run a separate program.)
   1. The `kinit` command sends your request to the Kerberos master server machine. The server software looks for your principal name's entry in the Kerberos database.
   2. If this entry exists, the Kerberos server creates and returns a ticket-granting ticket and the key which allows you to use it, encrypted by your password. If `kinit` can decrypt the Kerberos reply using the password you provide, it stores this ticket in a credentials cache on your local machine for later use. The name of the credentials cache can be specified in the `KRB5CCNAME` environment variable. If this variable is not set, the name of the file will be `/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>`, where <uid> is your UNIX user-id, represented in decimal format.
2. Now you use the `rlogin` client to access the machine `laughter`.

                 host% rlogin laughter

   1. The `rlogin` client checks your ticket file to see if you have a ticket for the `host` service for `laughter`. You don't, so `rlogin` uses the credential cache's ticket-granting ticket to make a request to the master server's ticket-granting service.
   2. This ticket-granting service receives the request for a ticket for `host/laughter.mit.edu`, and looks in the master database for an entry for `host/laughter.mit.edu`. If the entry exists, the ticket-granting service issues you a ticket for that service. That ticket is also cached in your credentials cache.
   3. The `rlogin` client now sends that ticket to the `laughter` `klogind` service program. The service program checks the ticket by using its own service key. If the ticket is valid, it now knows your identity. If you are allowed to login to `laughter` (because your username matches one in /etc/passwd, or your Kerberos principal is in the appropriate `.k5login` file), `klogind` will let you login.

Node:Definitions, Previous:The User/Kerberos Interaction, Up:How Kerberos Works

### Definitions

Following are definitions of some of the Kerberos terminology.

client
  an entity that can obtain a ticket. This entity is usually either a user or a host.
host
  a computer that can be accessed over a network.
Kerberos
  in Greek mythology, the three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. In the computing world, Kerberos is a network security package that was developed at MIT.
KDC
  Key Distribution Center. A machine that issues Kerberos tickets.
keytab
  a key table file containing one or more keys. A host or service uses a keytab file in much the same way as a user uses his/her password.
principal
  a string that names a specific entity to which a set of credentials may be assigned. It can have an arbitrary number of components, but generally has three:
  primary
    the first part of a Kerberos principal. In the case of a user, it is the username. In the case of a service, it is the name of the service.
  instance
    the second part of a Kerberos principal. It gives information that qualifies the primary. The instance may be null. In the case of a user, the instance is often used to describe the intended use of the corresponding credentials. In the case of a host, the instance is the fully qualified hostname.
  realm
    the logical network served by a single Kerberos database and a set of Key Distribution Centers. By convention, realm names are generally all uppercase letters, to differentiate the realm from the internet domain.

  The typical format of a typical Kerberos principal is primary/instance@REALM.

service
  any program or computer you access over a network. Examples of services include "host" (a host, e.g., when you use `telnet` and `rsh`), "ftp" (FTP), "krbtgt" (authentication; cf. ticket-granting ticket), and "pop" (email).
ticket
  a temporary set of electronic credentials that verify the identity of a client for a particular service.
TGT
  Ticket-Granting Ticket. A special Kerberos ticket that permits the client to obtain additional Kerberos tickets within the same Kerberos realm.

## Configuration Files

Node:Supported Encryption Types, Next:Salts, Previous:Configuration Files, Up:Configuration Files

### Supported Encryption Types

Any tag in the configuration files which requires a list of encryption types can be set to some combination of the following strings. Encryption types marked as "weak" are available for compatibility but not recommended for use.

`des-cbc-crc`
  DES cbc mode with CRC-32 (weak)
`des-cbc-md4`
  DES cbc mode with RSA-MD4 (weak)
`des-cbc-md5`
  DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5 (weak)
`des-cbc-raw`
  DES cbc mode raw (weak)
`des3-cbc-raw`
  Triple DES cbc mode raw (weak)
`des3-cbc-sha1`
`des3-hmac-sha1`
`des3-cbc-sha1-kd`
  Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1
`des-hmac-sha1`
  DES with HMAC/sha1 (weak)
`aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96`
`aes256-cts`
  AES-256 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC
`aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96`
`aes128-cts`
  AES-128 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC
`arcfour-hmac`
`rc4-hmac`
`arcfour-hmac-md5`
  RC4 with HMAC/MD5
`arcfour-hmac-exp`
`rc4-hmac-exp`
`arcfour-hmac-md5-exp`
  Exportable RC4 with HMAC/MD5 (weak)
`des`
  The DES family: des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md5, and des-cbc-md4 (weak)
`des3`
  The triple DES family: des3-cbc-sha1
`aes`
  The AES family: aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 and aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96
`rc4`
  The RC4 family: arcfour-hmac

The string DEFAULT can be used to refer to the default set of types for the variable in question. Types or families can be removed from the current list by prefixing them with a minus sign ("-"). Types or families can be prefixed with a plus sign ("+") for symmetry; it has the same meaning as just listing the type or family. For example, "DEFAULT -des" would be the default set of encryption types with DES types removed, and "des3 DEFAULT" would be the default set of encryption types with triple DES types moved to the front.

While aes128-cts and aes256-cts are supported for all Kerberos operations, they are not supported by older versions of our GSSAPI implementation (krb5-1.3.1 and earlier).

By default, AES is enabled in this release. Sites wishing to use AES encryption types on their KDCs need to be careful not to give GSSAPI services AES keys if the servers have not been updated. If older GSSAPI services are given AES keys, then services may fail when clients supporting AES for GSSAPI are used. Sites may wish to use AES for user keys and for the ticket granting ticket key, although doing so requires specifying what encryption types are used as each principal is created.

If all GSSAPI-based services have been updated before or with the KDC, this is not an issue.

Node:Salts, Next:krb5.conf, Previous:Supported Encryption Types, Up:Configuration Files

### Salts

Your Kerberos key is derived from your password. To ensure that people who happen to pick the same password do not have the same key, Kerberos 5 incorporates more information into the key using something called a salt. The supported values for salts are as follows.

`normal`
  default for Kerberos Version 5
`v4`
  the only type used by Kerberos Version 4, no salt
`norealm`
  same as the default, without using realm information
`onlyrealm`
  uses only realm information as the salt
`afs3`
  AFS version 3, only used for compatibility with Kerberos 4 in AFS
`special`
  only used in very special cases; not fully supported

Node:krb5.conf, Next:kdc.conf, Previous:Salts, Up:Configuration Files

### krb5.conf

The `krb5.conf` file contains Kerberos configuration information, including the locations of KDCs and admin servers for the Kerberos realms of interest, defaults for the current realm and for Kerberos applications, and mappings of hostnames onto Kerberos realms. Normally, you should install your `krb5.conf` file in the directory `/etc`. You can override the default location by setting the environment variable `KRB5_CONFIG`.

The `krb5.conf` file is set up in the style of a Windows INI file. Sections are headed by the section name, in square brackets. Each section may contain zero or more relations, of the form:

         foo = bar

or

         fubar = {
                 foo = bar
                 baz = quux
         }

Placing a `*' at the end of a line indicates that this is the final value for the tag. This means that neither the remainder of this configuration file nor any other configuration file will be checked for any other values for this tag.

For example, if you have the following lines:

         foo = bar*
         foo = baz

then the second value of foo (baz) would never be read.

The `krb5.conf` file can include other files using either of the following directives at the beginning of a line:

         include FILENAME
         includedir DIRNAME

FILENAME or DIRNAME should be an absolute path. The named file or directory must exist and be readable. Including a directory includes all files within the directory whose names consist solely of alphanumeric characters, dashes, or underscores. Included profile files are syntactically independent of their parents, so each included file must begin with a section header.

The `krb5.conf` file may contain any or all of the following sections:

libdefaults
  Contains default values used by the Kerberos V5 library.
login
  Contains default values used by the Kerberos V5 login program.
appdefaults
  Contains default values that can be used by Kerberos V5 applications.
realms
  Contains subsections keyed by Kerberos realm names. Each subsection describes realm-specific information, including where to find the Kerberos servers for that realm.
domain_realm
  Contains relations which map domain names and subdomains onto Kerberos realm names. This is used by programs to determine what realm a host should be in, given its fully qualified domain name.
logging
  Contains relations which determine how Kerberos programs are to perform logging.
capaths
  Contains the authentication paths used with direct (nonhierarchical) cross-realm authentication. Entries in this section are used by the client to determine the intermediate realms which may be used in cross-realm authentication. It is also used by the end-service when checking the transited field for trusted intermediate realms.
plugins
  Contains tags to register dynamic plugin modules and to turn modules on and off.

Node:libdefaults, Next:appdefaults, Previous:krb5.conf, Up:krb5.conf

#### [libdefaults]

The `libdefaults` section may contain any of the following relations:

default_keytab_name
  This relation specifies the default keytab name to be used by application servers such as telnetd and rlogind. The default is /etc/krb5.keytab.
default_realm
  Identifies the default Kerberos realm for the client. Set its value to your Kerberos realm. If this is not specified and the TXT record lookup is enabled (see Using DNS), then that information will be used to determine the default realm. If this tag is not set in this configuration file and there is no DNS information found, then an error will be returned.
default_tgs_enctypes
  Identifies the supported list of session key encryption types that should be returned by the KDC. The list may be delimited with commas or whitespace. Kerberos supports many different encryption types, and support for more is planned in the future. (see Supported Encryption Types for a list of the accepted values for this tag). The default value is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 des3-cbc-sha1 arcfour-hmac-md5 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-md4.
default_tkt_enctypes
  Identifies the supported list of session key encryption types that should be requested by the client. The format is the same as for default_tgs_enctypes. The default value for this tag is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 des3-cbc-sha1 arcfour-hmac-md5 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-md4.
permitted_enctypes
  Identifies all encryption types that are permitted for use in session key encryption. The default value for this tag is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 des3-cbc-sha1 arcfour-hmac-md5 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-md4.
allow_weak_crypto
  If this is set to 0 (for false), then weak encryption types will be filtered out of the previous three lists (as noted in Supported Encryption Types). The default value for this tag is false, which may cause authentication failures in existing Kerberos infrastructures that do not support strong crypto. Users in affected environments should set this tag to true until their infrastructure adopts stronger ciphers.
clockskew
  Sets the maximum allowable amount of clockskew in seconds that the library will tolerate before assuming that a Kerberos message is invalid. The default value is 300 seconds, or five minutes.
k5login_authoritative
  If the value of this relation is true (the default), principals must be listed in a local user's k5login file to be granted login access, if a k5login file exists. If the value of this relation is false, a principal may still be granted login access through other mechanisms even if a k5login file exists but does not list the principal.
k5login_directory
  If set, the library will look for a local user's k5login file within the named directory, with a filename corresponding to the local username. If not set, the library will look for k5login files in the user's home directory, with the filename `.k5login`. For security reasons, k5login files must be owned by the local user or by root.
kdc_timesync
  If this is set to 1 (for true), then client machines will compute the difference between their time and the time returned by the KDC in the timestamps in the tickets and use this value to correct for an inaccurate system clock. This corrective factor is only used by the Kerberos library. The default is 1.
kdc_req_checksum_type
ap_req_checksum_type
safe_checksum_type
  An integer which specifies the type of checksum to use. Used for compatability with DCE security servers which do not support the default RSA MD5 used by this version of Kerberos. The 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.
  1
    CRC32
  2
    RSA MD4
  3
    RSA MD4 DES
  4
    DES CBC
  7
    RSA MD5
  8
    RSA MD5 DES
  9
    NIST SHA
  12
    HMAC SHA1 DES3
  -138
    Microsoft MD5 HMAC checksum type
ccache_type
  Use this parameter on systems which are DCE clients, to specify the type of cache to be created by kinit, or when forwarded tickets are received. DCE and Kerberos can share the cache, but some versions of DCE do not support the default cache as created by this version of Kerberos. Use a value of 1 on DCE 1.0.3a systems, and a value of 2 on DCE 1.1 systems. The default value is 4.
dns_lookup_kdc
  Indicate whether DNS SRV records should be used to locate the KDCs and other servers for a realm, if they are not listed in the information for the realm. (Note that the `admin_server` entry must be in the file, because the DNS implementation for it is incomplete.)

  Enabling this option does open up a type of denial-of-service attack, if someone spoofs the DNS records and redirects you to another server. However, it's no worse than a denial of service, because that fake KDC will be unable to decode anything you send it (besides the initial ticket request, which has no encrypted data), and anything the fake KDC sends will not be trusted without verification using some secret that it won't know.

  If this option is not specified but `dns_fallback` is, that value will be used instead. If neither option is specified, the behavior depends on configure-time options; if none were given, the default is to enable this option. If the DNS support is not compiled in, this entry has no effect.

dns_lookup_realm
  Indicate whether DNS TXT records should be used to determine the Kerberos realm of a host.

  Enabling this option may permit a redirection attack, where spoofed DNS replies persuade a client to authenticate to the wrong realm, when talking to the wrong host (either by spoofing yet more DNS records or by intercepting the net traffic). Depending on how the client software manages hostnames, however, it could already be vulnerable to such attacks. We are looking at possible ways to minimize or eliminate this exposure. For now, we encourage more adventurous sites to try using Secure DNS.

  If this option is not specified but `dns_fallback` is, that value will be used instead. If neither option is specified, the behavior depends on configure-time options; if none were given, the default is to disable this option. If the DNS support is not compiled in, this entry has no effect.

dns_fallback
  General flag controlling the use of DNS for Kerberos information. If both of the preceding options are specified, this option has no effect.
extra_addresses
  This allows a computer to use multiple local addresses, in order to allow Kerberos to work in a network that uses NATs. The addresses should be in a comma-separated list.
udp_preference_limit
  When sending a message to the KDC, the library will try using TCP before UDP if the size of the message is above `udp_preference_list`. If the message is smaller than `udp_preference_list`, then UDP will be tried before TCP. Regardless of the size, both protocols will be tried if the first attempt fails.
verify_ap_req_nofail
  If this flag is set, then an attempt to get initial credentials will fail if the client machine does not have a keytab. The default for the flag is not set.
ticket_lifetime
  The value of this tag is the default lifetime for initial tickets. The default value for the tag is 1 day.
renew_lifetime
  The value of this tag is the default renewable lifetime for initial tickets. The default value for the tag is 0.
noaddresses
  Setting this flag causes the initial Kerberos ticket to be addressless. The default for the flag is set.
forwardable
  If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be forwardable. The default value for this flag is not set.
proxiable
  If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be proxiable. The default value for this flag is not set.
rdns
  If set to false, prevent the use of reverse DNS resolution when translating hostnames into service principal names. Defaults to true. Setting this flag to false is more secure, but may force users to exclusively use fully qualified domain names when authenticating to services.

Node:appdefaults, Next:login, Previous:libdefaults, Up:krb5.conf

#### [appdefaults]

Each tag in the [appdefaults] section names a Kerberos V5 application or an option that is used by some Kerberos V5 application[s]. The value of the tag defines the default behaviors for that application.

For example:

         [appdefaults]
             telnet = {
                 ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
                      option1 = false
                 }
             }
             telnet = {
                 option1 = true
                 option2 = true
             }
             ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
                 option2 = false
             }
             option2 = true

The above four ways of specifying the value of an option are shown in order of decreasing precedence. In this example, if telnet is running in the realm EXAMPLE.COM, it should, by default, have option1 and option2 set to true. However, a telnet program in the realm ATHENA.MIT.EDU should have option1 set to false and option2 set to true. Any other programs in ATHENA.MIT.EDU should have option2 set to false by default. Any programs running in other realms should have option2 set to true.

The list of specifiable options for each application may be found in that application's man pages. The application defaults specified here are overridden by those specified in the [realms] section.

Node:login, Next:realms (krb5.conf), Previous:appdefaults, Up:krb5.conf

#### [login]

Each tag in the [login] section of the file is an option for login.krb5. This section may contain any of the following relations:

krb5_get_tickets
  Indicate whether or not to use a user's password to get V5 tickets. The default value is true.
krb_run_aklog
  Indicate whether or not to run aklog. The default value is false.
aklog_path
  Indicate where to find aklog. The default value is $(prefix)/bin/aklog.
accept_passwd
  A true value will cause login not to accept plaintext passwords. The default value is false. This is not yet implemented.

Node:realms (krb5.conf), Next:domain_realm, Previous:login, Up:krb5.conf

#### [realms]

Each tag in the [realms] section of the file is the name of a Kerberos realm. The value of the tag is a subsection with relations that define the properties of that particular realm. For each realm, the following tags may be specified in the realm's subsection:

kdc
  The name or address of a host running a KDC for that realm. An optional port number, separated from the hostname by a colon, may be included. If the name or address contains colons (for example, if it is an IPv6 address), enclose it in square brackets to distinguish the colon from a port separator. For your computer to be able to communicate with the KDC for each realm, this tag must be given a value in each realm subsection in the configuration file, or there must be DNS SRV records specifying the KDCs (see Using DNS).
master_kdc
  Identifies the master KDC(s). Currently, this tag is used in only one case: If an attempt to get credentials fails because of an invalid password, the client software will attempt to contact the master KDC, in case the user's password has just been changed, and the updated database has not been propagated to the slave servers yet.
database_module
  This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
admin_server
  Identifies the host where the administration server is running. Typically, this is the master Kerberos server. This tag must be given a value in order to communicate with the kadmin server for the realm.
default_domain
  This tag is used for Kerberos 4 compatibility. Kerberos 4 does not require the entire hostname of a server to be in its principal like Kerberos 5 does. This tag provides the domain name needed to produce a full hostname when translating V4 principal names into V5 principal names. All servers in this realm are assumed to be in the domain given as the value of this tag
v4_instance_convert
  This subsection allows the administrator to configure exceptions to the default_domain mapping rule. It contains V4 instances (the tag name) which should be translated to some specific hostname (the tag value) as the second component in a Kerberos V5 principal name.
v4_realm
  This relation is used by the krb524 library routines when converting a V5 principal name to a V4 principal name. It is used when the V4 realm name and the V5 realm name are not the same, but still share the same principal names and passwords. The tag value is the Kerberos V4 realm name.
auth_to_local_names
  This subsection allows you to set explicit mappings from principal names to local user names. The tag is the mapping name, and the value is the corresponding local user name.
auth_to_local
  This tag allows you to set a general rule for mapping principal names to local user names. It will be used if there is not an explicit mapping for the principal name that is being translated. The possible values are:
  DB: filename
    The principal will be looked up in the database filename. Support for this is not currently compiled in by default.
  RULE: exp
    The local name will be formulated from exp.

    The format for exp is `[`n`:`string`](`regexp`)s/`pattern`/`replacement`/g`. The integer n indicates how many components the target principal should have. If this matches, then a string will be formed from string, substituting the realm of the principal for `$0` and the n'th component of the principal for `$`n`` (e.g. if the principal was johndoe/admin then [2:$2$1foo] would result in the string "adminjohndoefoo"). If this string matches regexp, then the `s//[g]` substitution command will be run over the string. The optional g will cause the substitution to be global over the string, instead of replacing only the first match in the string.

  DEFAULT
    The principal name will be used as the local user name. If the principal has more than one component or is not in the default realm, this rule is not applicable and the conversion will fail.

  For example:

                [realms]
                    ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
                        auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$1](johndoe)s/^.*$/guest/
                        auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$1;$2](^.*;admin$)s/;admin$//
                        auth_to_local = RULE:[2:$2](^.*;root)s/^.*$/root/
                        auto_to_local = DEFAULT
                    }

  would result in any principal without `root` or `admin` as the second component to be translated with the default rule. A principal with a second component of `admin` will become its first component. `root` will be used as the local name for any principal with a second component of `root`. The exception to these two rules are any principals johndoe/*, which will always get the local name `guest`.

#### [domain_realm]

The [domain_realm] section provides a translation from a domain name or hostname to a Kerberos realm name. The tag name can be a host name, or a domain name, where domain names are indicated by a prefix of a period (`.`). The value of the relation is the Kerberos realm name for that particular host or domain. Host names and domain names should be in lower case.

If no translation entry applies, the host's realm is considered to be the hostname's domain portion converted to upper case. For example, the following [domain_realm] section:

         [domain_realm]
             .mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
             mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
             crash.mit.edu = TEST.ATHENA.MIT.EDU
             example.com = EXAMPLE.COM

maps crash.mit.edu into the TEST.ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm. All other hosts in the mit.edu domain will map by default to the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm, and all hosts in the example.com domain will map by default into the EXAMPLE.COM realm. Note the entries for the hosts mit.edu and example.com. Without these entries, these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms `EDU` and `ORG`, respectively.

Node:logging, Next:capaths, Previous:domain_realm, Up:krb5.conf

#### [logging]

The [logging] section indicates how a particular entity is to perform its logging. The relations in this section assign one or more values to the entity name. Currently, the following entities are used:

kdc
  These entries specify how the KDC is to perform its logging.
admin_server
  These entries specify how the administrative server is to perform its logging.
default
  These entries specify how to perform logging in the absence of explicit specifications otherwise.

Values are of the following forms:

FILE=<filename>
FILE:<filename>
  This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified file. If the `=` form is used, the file is overwritten. If the `:` form is used, the file is appended to.
STDERR
  This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to its standard error stream.
CONSOLE
  This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the console, if the system supports it.
DEVICE=<devicename>
  This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified device.
SYSLOG[:<severity>[:<facility>]]
  This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the system log.

  The severity argument specifies the default severity of system log messages. This may be any of the following severities supported by the `syslog(3)` call, minus the LOG_ prefix: LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR, LOG_WARNING, LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, and LOG_DEBUG. For example, a value of `CRIT` would specify LOG_CRIT severity.

  The facility argument specifies the facility under which the messages are logged. This may be any of the following facilities supported by the syslog(3) call minus the LOG_ prefix: LOG_KERN, LOG_USER, LOG_MAIL, LOG_DAEMON, LOG_AUTH, LOG_LPR, LOG_NEWS, LOG_UUCP, LOG_CRON, and LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7.

  If no severity is specified, the default is ERR. If no facility is specified, the default is AUTH.

In the following example, the logging messages from the KDC will go to the console and to the system log under the facility LOG_DAEMON with default severity of LOG_INFO; and the logging messages from the administrative server will be appended to the file /var/adm/kadmin.log and sent to the device /dev/tty04.

         [logging]
             kdc = CONSOLE
             kdc = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
             admin_server = FILE:/var/adm/kadmin.log
             admin_server = DEVICE=/dev/tty04

#### [capaths]

In order to perform direct (non-hierarchical) cross-realm authentication, a database is needed to construct the authentication paths between the realms. This section defines that database.

A client will use this section to find the authentication path between its realm and the realm of the server. The server will use this section to verify the authentication path used by the client, by checking the transited field of the received ticket.

There is a tag for each participating realm, and each tag has subtags for each of the realms. The value of the subtags is an intermediate realm which may participate in the cross-realm authentication. The subtags may be repeated if there is more then one intermediate realm. A value of "." means that the two realms share keys directly, and no intermediate realms should be allowed to participate.

There are n**2 possible entries in this table, but only those entries which will be needed on the client or the server need to be present. The client needs a tag for its local realm, with subtags for all the realms of servers it will need to authenticate with. A server needs a tag for each realm of the clients it will serve.

For example, ANL.GOV, PNL.GOV, and NERSC.GOV all wish to use the ES.NET realm as an intermediate realm. ANL has a sub realm of TEST.ANL.GOV which will authenticate with NERSC.GOV but not PNL.GOV. The [capaths] section for ANL.GOV systems would look like this:

         [capaths]
             ANL.GOV = {
                 TEST.ANL.GOV = .
                 PNL.GOV = ES.NET
                 NERSC.GOV = ES.NET
                 ES.NET = .
             }
             TEST.ANL.GOV = {
                 ANL.GOV = .
             }
             PNL.GOV = {
                 ANL.GOV = ES.NET
             }
             NERSC.GOV = {
                 ANL.GOV = ES.NET
             }
             ES.NET = {
                 ANL.GOV = .
             }

The [capaths] section of the configuration file used on NERSC.GOV systems would look like this:

         [capaths]
             NERSC.GOV = {
                 ANL.GOV = ES.NET
                 TEST.ANL.GOV = ES.NET
                 TEST.ANL.GOV = ANL.GOV
                 PNL.GOV = ES.NET
                 ES.NET = .
             }
             ANL.GOV = {
                 NERSC.GOV = ES.NET
             }
             PNL.GOV = {
                 NERSC.GOV = ES.NET
             }
             ES.NET = {
                 NERSC.GOV = .
             }
             TEST.ANL.GOV = {
                 NERSC.GOV = ANL.GOV
                 NERSC.GOV = ES.NET
             }

In the above examples, the ordering is not important, except when the same subtag name is used more then once. The client will use this to determine the path. (It is not important to the server, since the transited field is not sorted.)

This feature is not currently supported by DCE. DCE security servers can be used with Kerberized clients and servers, but versions prior to DCE 1.1 did not fill in the transited field, and should be used with caution.

Node:dbdefaults, Next:dbmodules, Previous:capaths, Up:krb5.conf

#### [dbdefaults]

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.(see dbmodules).

The following tags are used in this section:

database_module
  This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under the [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
ldap_kerberos_container_dn
  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].
ldap_kdc_dn
  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].
ldap_kadmind_dn
  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].
ldap_service_password_file
  This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords (created by `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].
ldap_server
  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.
ldap_conns_per_server
  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.

Node:dbmodules, Next:plugins, Previous:dbdefaults, Up:krb5.conf

#### [dbmodules]

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.

For each section, the following tags may be specified in the subsection:

db_library
  This tag indicates the name of the loadable database library. The value should be `db2` for DB2 database and `kldap` for LDAP database.
database_name
  This DB2-specific tag indicates the location of the database in the filesystem. The default is
  `/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/principal`.
disable_last_success
  If set to `true`, suppresses KDC updates to the "Last successful authentication" field of principal entries requiring preauthentication. Setting this flag may improve performance. (Principal entries which do not require preauthentication never update the "Last successful authentication" field.)
disable_lockout
  If set to `true`, suppresses KDC updates to the "Last failed authentication" and "Failed password attempts" fields of principal entries requiring preauthentication. Setting this flag may improve performance, but also disables account lockout.
ldap_kerberos_container_dn
  This LDAP specific tag indicates the DN of the container object where the realm objects will be located.
ldap_kdc_dn
  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.
ldap_kadmind_dn
  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.
ldap_service_password_file
  This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords (created by `kdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw`) for the objects used by the Kerberos servers to bind to the LDAP server. This file must be kept secure.
ldap_server
  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.
ldap_conns_per_server
  This LDAP specific tags indicates the number of connections to be maintained per LDAP server.

Node:plugins, Next:pkinit client options, Previous:dbmodules, Up:krb5.conf

#### Plugins

Tags in the [plugins] section can be used to register dynamic plugin modules and to turn modules on and off. Not every krb5 pluggable interface uses the [plugins] section; the ones that do are documented here.

Each pluggable interface corresponds to a subsection of [plugins]. All subsections support the same tags:

module
  This tag may have multiple values. Each value is a string of the form "modulename:pathname", which causes the shared object located at pathname to be registered as a dynamic module named modulename for the pluggable interface. If pathname is not an absolute path, it will be treated as relative to the "krb5/plugins" subdirectory of the krb5 library directory.
enable_only
  This tag may have multiple values. If there are values for this tag, then only the named modules will be enabled for the pluggable interface.
disable
  This tag may have multiple values. If there are values for this tag, then the named modules will be disabled for the pluggable interface.

The following subsections are currently supported within the [plugins] section:

Node:pwqual interface, Next:kadm5_hook interface, Previous:plugins, Up:plugins

##### pwqual interface

The pwqual subsection controls modules for the password quality interface, which is used to reject weak passwords when passwords are changed. In addition to any registered dynamic modules, the following built-in modules exist (and may be disabled with the disable tag):

dict
  Checks against the realm dictionary file
empty
  Rejects empty passwords
hesiod
  Checks against user information stored in Hesiod (only if Kerberos was built with Hesiod support)
princ
  Checks against components of the principal name

Node:kadm5_hook interface, Previous:pwqual interface, Up:plugins

##### kadm5_hook interface

The kadm5_hook interface provides plugins with information on principal creation, modification, password changes and deletion. This interface can be used to write a plugin to synchronize MIT Kerberos with another database such as Active Directory. No plugins are built in for this interface.

Node:pkinit client options, Next:Sample krb5.conf File, Previous:plugins, Up:krb5.conf

#### pkinit options

The following are pkinit-specific options. Note that these values may be specified in `[libdefaults]` as global defaults, or within a realm-specific subsection of `[libdefaults]`, or may be specified as realm-specific values in the `[realms]` section. Also note that a realm-specific value over-rides, does not add to, a generic `[libdefaults]` specification. The search order is:

1. realm-specific subsection of `[libdefaults]`

                 [libdefaults]
                     EXAMPLE.COM = {
                         pkinit_anchors = FILE:/usr/local/example.com.crt
                     }

2. realm-specific value in the `[realms]` section,

                 [realms]
                     OTHERREALM.ORG = {
                         pkinit_anchors = FILE:/usr/local/otherrealm.org.crt
                     }

3. generic value in the `[libdefaults]` section.

Node:pkinit identity syntax, Next:pkinit krb5.conf options, Previous:pkinit client options, Up:pkinit client options

##### Specifying pkinit identity information

The syntax for specifying Public Key identity, trust, and revocation information for pkinit is as follows:

FILE: file-name[,key-file-name]
  This option has context-specific behavior.
  pkinit_identity
  pkinit_identities
    file-name specifies the name of a PEM-format file containing the user's certificate. If key-file-name is not specified, the user's private key is expected to be in file-name as well. Otherwise, key-file-name is the name of the file containing the private key.
  pkinit_anchors
  pkinit_pool
    file-name is assumed to be the name of an OpenSSL-style ca-bundle file.
DIR: directory-name
  This option has context-specific behavior.
  pkinit_identity
  pkinit_identities
    directory-name specifies a directory with files named `*.crt` and `*.key`, where the first part of the file name is the same for matching pairs of certificate and private key files. When a file with a name ending with `.crt` is found, a matching file ending with `.key` is assumed to contain the private key. If no such file is found, then the certificate in the `.crt` is not used.
  pkinit_anchors
  pkinit_pool
    directory-name is assumed to be an OpenSSL-style hashed CA directory where each CA cert is stored in a file named hash-of-ca-cert.#. This infrastructure is encouraged, but all files in the directory will be examined and if they contain certificates (in PEM format), they will be used.
  pkinit_revoke
    directory-name is assumed to be an OpenSSL-style hashed CA directory where each revocation list is stored in a file named hash-of-ca-cert.r#. This infrastructure is encouraged, but all files in the directory will be examined and if they contain a revocation list (in PEM format), they will be used.
PKCS12: pkcs12-file-name
  pkcs12-file-name is the name of a `PKCS #12` format file, containing the user's certificate and private key.
PKCS11:[module_name=]module-name[:slotid=slot-id][:token=token-label][:certid=cert-id][:certlabel=cert-label]
  All keyword/values are optional. module-name specifies the location of a library implementing `PKCS #11`. If a value is encountered with no keyword, it is assumed to be the module-name. If no module-name is specified, the default is `opensc-pkcs11.so`. slotid= and/or token= may be specified to force the use of a particular smard card reader or token if there is more than one available. certid= and/or certlabel= may be specified to force the selection of a particular certificate on the device. See the `pkinit_cert_match` configuration option for more ways to select a particular certificate to use for pkinit.
ENV: environment-variable-name
  environment-variable-name specifies the name of an environment variable which has been set to a value conforming to one of the previous values. For example, `ENV:X509_PROXY`, where environment variable `X509_PROXY` has been set to `FILE:/tmp/my_proxy.pem`.

Node:pkinit krb5.conf options, Previous:pkinit identity syntax, Up:pkinit client options

##### pkinit krb5.conf options

pkinit_identities
  Specifies the location(s) to be used to find the user's X.509 identity information. This option may be specified multiple times. Each value is attempted in order until identity information is found and authentication is attempted. Note that these values are not used if the user specifies X509_user_identity on the command line.
pkinit_anchors
  Specifies the location of trusted anchor (root) certificates which the client trusts to sign KDC certificates. This option may be specified multiple times. These values from the config file are not used if the user specifies X509_anchors on the command line.
pkinit_pool
  Specifies the location of intermediate certificates which may be used by the client to complete the trust chain between a KDC certificate and a trusted anchor. This option may be specified multiple times.
pkinit_revoke
  Specifies the location of Certificate Revocation List (CRL) information to be used by the client when verifying the validity of the KDC certificate presented. This option may be specified multiple times.
pkinit_require_crl_checking
  The default certificate verification process will always check the available revocation information to see if a certificate has been revoked. If a match is found for the certificate in a CRL, verification fails. If the certificate being verified is not listed in a CRL, or there is no CRL present for its issuing CA, and `pkinit_require_crl_checking` is `false`, then verification succeeds.

  However, if `pkinit_require_crl_checking` is `true` and there is no CRL information available for the issuing CA, then verification fails.

  `pkinit_require_crl_checking` should be set to `true` if the policy is such that up-to-date CRLs must be present for every CA.

pkinit_dh_min_bits
  Specifies the size of the Diffie-Hellman key the client will attempt to use. The acceptable values are currently 1024, 2048, and 4096. The default is 2048.
pkinit_win2k
  This flag specifies whether the target realm is assumed to support only the old, pre-RFC version of the protocol. The default is false.
pkinit_win2k_require_binding
  If this flag is set to true, it expects that the target KDC is patched to return a reply with a checksum rather than a nonce. The default is false.
pkinit_eku_checking
  This option specifies what Extended Key Usage value the KDC certificate presented to the client must contain. (Note that if the KDC certificate has the pkinit SubjectAlternativeName encoded as the Kerberos TGS name, EKU checking is not necessary since the issuing CA has certified this as a KDC certificate.) The values recognized in the `krb5.conf` file are:
  kpKDC
    This is the default value and specifies that the KDC must have the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU as defined in RFC4556.
  kpServerAuth
    If `kpServerAuth` is specified, a KDC certificate with the id-kp-serverAuth EKU as used by Microsoft will be accepted.
  none
    If `none` is specified, then the KDC certificate will not be checked to verify it has an acceptable EKU. The use of this option is not recommended.
pkinit_kdc_hostname
  The presense of this option indicates that the client is willing to accept a KDC certificate with a dNSName SAN (Subject Alternative Name) rather than requiring the id-pkinit-san as defined in RFC4556. This option may be specified multiple times. Its value should contain the acceptable hostname for the KDC (as contained in its certificate).
pkinit_cert_match
  Specifies matching rules that the client certificate must match before it is used to attempt pkinit authentication. If a user has multiple certificates available (on a smart card, or via other media), there must be exactly one certificate chosen before attempting pkinit authentication. This option may be specified multiple times. All the available certificates are checked against each rule in order until there is a match of exactly one certificate.

  The Subject and Issuer comparison strings are the RFC2253 string representations from the certificate Subject DN and Issuer DN values.

  The syntax of the matching rules is:

                [relation-operator]component-rule ...

  where
  relation-operator
    can be either `&&`, meaning all component rules must match, or `||`, meaning only one component rule must match. The default is `&&` if not specified.
  component-rule
    can be one of the following. Note that there is no punctuation or whitespace between component rules.
    `<SUBJECT>`regular-expression
    `<ISSUER>`regular-expression
    `<SAN>`regular-expression
    `<EKU>`extended-key-usage-list
      where extended-key-usage-list is a comma-separated list of required Extended Key Usage values. All values in the list must be present in the certificate.

                              pkinit
                              msScLogin
                              clientAuth
                              emailProtection

    `<KU>`key-usage-list
      where key-usage-list is a comma-separated list of required Key Usage values. All values in the list must be present in the certificate.

                              digitalSignature
                              keyEncipherment

  Examples:

                pkinit_cert_match = ||<SUBJECT>.*DoE.*<SAN>.*@EXAMPLE.COM
                pkinit_cert_match = &&<EKU>msScLogin,clientAuth<ISSUER>.*DoE.*
                pkinit_cert_match = <EKU>msScLogin,clientAuth<KU>digitalSignature

Node:kdc.conf, Previous:krb5.conf, Up:Configuration Files

### kdc.conf

The `kdc.conf` file contains KDC configuration information, including defaults used when issuing Kerberos tickets. Normally, you should install your `kdc.conf` file in the directory `/usr/local/var/krb5kdc`. You can override the default location by setting the environment variable `KRB5_KDC_PROFILE`.

The `kdc.conf` file is set up in the same format as the `krb5.conf` file. (See krb5.conf.) The `kdc.conf` file may contain any or all of the following three sections:

kdcdefaults
  Contains default values for overall behavior of the KDC.
realms
  Contains subsections keyed by Kerberos realm names. Each subsection describes realm-specific information, including where to find the Kerberos servers for that realm.
logging
  Contains relations which determine how Kerberos programs are to perform logging.

Node:kdcdefaults, Next:realms (kdc.conf), Previous:kdc.conf, Up:kdc.conf

#### [kdcdefaults]

The following relation is defined in the [kdcdefaults] section:

kdc_ports
  This relation lists the ports on which the Kerberos server should listen for UDP requests by default. This list is a comma separated list of integers. If this relation is not specified, the compiled-in default is 88,750, the first being the assigned Kerberos port and the second which was used by Kerberos V4.
kdc_tcp_ports
  This relation lists the ports on which the Kerberos server should listen for TCP connections by default. This list is a comma separated list of integers. If this relation is not specified, the compiled-in default is not to listen for TCP connections at all.

  If you wish to change this (which we do not recommend, because the current implementation has little protection against denial-of-service attacks), the standard port number assigned for Kerberos TCP traffic is port 88.

restrict_anonymous_to_tgt
  This flag determines the default value of restrict_anonymous_to_tgt for realms. The default value is `false`.

Node:realms (kdc.conf), Next:pkinit kdc options, Previous:kdcdefaults, Up:kdc.conf

#### [realms]

Each tag in the [realms] section of the file names a Kerberos realm. The value of the tag is a subsection where the relations in that subsection define KDC parameters for that particular realm.

For each realm, the following tags may be specified in the [realms] subsection:

acl_file
  (String.) Location of the access control list (acl) file that kadmin uses to determine which principals are allowed which permissions on the database. The default is `/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl`.
admin_keytab
  (String.) Location of the keytab file that the legacy administration daemons `kadmind4` and `v5passwdd` use to authenticate to the database. The default is `/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab`.
default_principal_expiration
  (Absolute time string.) Specifies the default expiration date of principals created in this realm. The default value for this tag is 0.
default_principal_flags
  (Flag string.) Specifies the default attributes of principals created in this realm. The format for this string is a comma-separated list of flags, with '+' before each flag that should be enabled and '-' before each flag that should be disabled. The default is postdateable, forwardable, tgt-based, renewable, proxiable, dup-skey, allow-tickets, and service enabled..

  There are a number of possible flags:

  postdateable
    Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain postdateable tickets.
  forwardable
    Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain forwardable tickets.
  tgt-based
    Enabling this flag allows a principal to obtain tickets based on a ticket-granting-ticket, rather than repeating the authentication process that was used to obtain the TGT.
  renewable
    Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renewable tickets.
  proxiable
    Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain proxy tickets.
  dup-skey
    Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain a session key for another user, permitting user-to-user authentication for this principal.
  allow-tickets
    Enabling this flag means that the KDC will issue tickets for this principal. Disabling this flag essentially deactivates the principal within this realm.
  preauth
    If this flag is enabled on a client principal, then that principal is required to preauthenticate to the KDC before receiving any tickets. On a service principal, enabling this flag means that service tickets for this principal will only be issued to clients with a TGT that has the preauthenticated ticket set.
  hwauth
    If this flag is enabled, then the principal is required to preauthenticate using a hardware device before receiving any tickets.
  pwchange
    Enabling this flag forces a password change for this principal.
  service
    Enabling this flag allows the the KDC to issue service tickets for this principal.
  pwservice
    If this flag is enabled, it marks this principal as a password change service. This should only be used in special cases, for example, if a user's password has expired, then the user has to get tickets for that principal without going through the normal password authentication in order to be able to change the password.
dict_file
  (String.) Location of the dictionary file containing strings that are not allowed as passwords. If none is specified or if there is no policy assigned to the principal, no dictionary checks of passwords will be performed.
kadmind_port
  (Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kadmind daemon is to listen for this realm. The assigned port for kadmind is 749.
kpasswd_port
  (Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kpasswd daemon is to listen for this realm. The default is 464.
key_stash_file
  (String.) Specifies the location where the master key has been stored (via `kdb5_util stash`). The default is `/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/.k5.`REALM``, where REALM is the Kerberos realm.
kdc_ports
  (String.) Specifies the list of ports that the KDC is to listen to for UDP requests for this realm. By default, the value of kdc_ports as specified in the [kdcdefaults] section is used.
kdc_tcp_ports
  (String.) Specifies the list of ports that the KDC is to listen to for TCP requests for this realm. By default, the value of kdc_tcp_ports as specified in the [kdcdefaults] section is used.
master_key_name
  (String.) Specifies the name of the principal associated with the master key. The default is K/M.
master_key_type
  (Key type string.) Specifies the master key's key type. The default value for this is des3-cbc-sha1. For a list of all possible values, see Supported Encryption Types.
max_life
  (Delta time string.) Specifes the maximum time period for which a ticket may be valid in this realm. The default value is 24 hours.
max_renewable_life
  (Delta time string.) Specifies the maximum time period during which a valid ticket may be renewed in this realm. The default value is 0.
supported_enctypes
  List of key:salt strings. Specifies the default key/salt combinations of principals for this realm. Any principals created through `kadmin` will have keys of these types. The default value for this tag is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal des3-cbc-sha1:normal arcfour-hmac-md5:normal. For lists of possible values, see Supported Encryption Types and Salts.
reject_bad_transit
  A boolean value (`true`, `false`). If set to `true`, the KDC will check the list of transited realms for cross-realm tickets against the transit path computed from the realm names and the `capaths` section of its `krb5.conf` file; if the path in the ticket to be issued contains any realms not in the computed path, the ticket will not be issued, and an error will be returned to the client instead. If this value is set to `false`, such tickets will be issued anyways, and it will be left up to the application server to validate the realm transit path.

  If the `disable-transited-check` flag is set in the incoming request, this check is not performed at all. Having the `reject_bad_transit` option will cause such ticket requests to be rejected always.

  This transit path checking and config file option currently apply only to TGS requests.

  Earlier versions of the MIT release (before 1.2.3) had bugs in the application server support such that the server-side checks may not be performed correctly. We recommend turning this option on, unless you know that all application servers in this realm have been updated to fixed versions of the software, and for whatever reason, you don't want the KDC to do the validation.

  This is a per-realm option so that multiple-realm KDCs may control it separately for each realm, in case (for example) one realm has had the software on its application servers updated but another has not.

  This option defaults to `true`.

restrict_anonymous_to_tgt
  A boolean value (`true`, `false`). If set to `true`, the KDC will reject ticket requests from anonymous principals to service principals other than the realm's ticket-granting service. This option allows anonymous PKINIT to be enabled for use as FAST armor tickets without allowing anonymous authentication to services. By default, the value of restrict_anonymous_to_tgt as specified in the [kdcdefaults] section is used.

##### pkinit kdc.conf options

For information about the syntax of some of these options, see See pkinit identity syntax.

pkinit_identity
  Specifies the location of the KDC's X.509 identity information. This option is required if pkinit is to be supported by the KDC.
pkinit_anchors
  Specifies the location of trusted anchor (root) certificates which the KDC trusts to sign client certificates. This option is required if pkinit is to be supported by the KDC. This option may be specified multiple times.
pkinit_pool
  Specifies the location of intermediate certificates which may be used by the KDC to complete the trust chain between a client's certificate and a trusted anchor. This option may be specified multiple times.
pkinit_revoke
  Specifies the location of Certificate Revocation List (CRL) information to be used by the KDC when verifying the validity of client certificates. This option may be specified multiple times.
pkinit_require_crl_checking
  The default certificate verification process will always check the available revocation information to see if a certificate has been revoked. If a match is found for the certificate in a CRL, verification fails. If the certificate being verified is not listed in a CRL, or there is no CRL present for its issuing CA, and `pkinit_require_crl_checking` is `false`, then verification succeeds.

  However, if `pkinit_require_crl_checking` is `true` and there is no CRL information available for the issuing CA, then verification fails.

  `pkinit_require_crl_checking` should be set to `true` if the policy is such that up-to-date CRLs must be present for every CA.

pkinit_dh_min_bits
  Specifies the minimum number of bits the KDC is willing to accept for a client's Diffie-Hellman key. The default is 2048.
pkinit_allow_upn
  Specifies that the KDC is willing to accept client certificates with the Microsoft UserPrincipalName (UPN) Subject Alternative Name (SAN). This means the KDC accepts the binding of the UPN in the certificate to the Kerberos principal name.

  The default is false.

  Without this option, the KDC will only accept certificates with the id-pkinit-san as defined in RFC4556. There is currently no option to disable SAN checking in the KDC.

pkinit_eku_checking
  This option specifies what Extended Key Usage (EKU) values the KDC is willing to accept in client certificates. The values recognized in the `kdc.conf` file are:
  kpClientAuth
    This is the default value and specifies that client certificates must have the id-pkinit-KPClientAuth EKU as defined in RFC4556.
  scLogin
    If `scLogin` is specified, client certificates with the Microsoft Smart Card Login EKU (id-ms-kp-sc-logon) will be accepted.
  none
    If `none` is specified, then client certificates will not be checked to verify they have an acceptable EKU. The use of this option is not recommended.

## Using DNS

Node:Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Next:Hostnames for KDCs, Previous:Using DNS, Up:Using DNS

### Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms

Mapping hostnames onto Kerberos realms is done in one of two ways.

The first mechanism, which has been in use for years in MIT-based Kerberos distributions, works through a set of rules in the `krb5.conf` configuration file. (See krb5.conf.) You can specify mappings for an entire domain or subdomain, and/or on a hostname-by-hostname basis. Since greater specificity takes precedence, you would do this by specifying the mappings for a given domain or subdomain and listing the exceptions.

The second mechanism works by looking up the information in special `TXT` records in the Domain Name Service. This is currently not used by default because security holes could result if the DNS TXT records were spoofed. If this mechanism is enabled on the client, it will try to look up a `TXT` record for the DNS name formed by putting the prefix `_kerberos` in front of the hostname in question. If that record is not found, it will try using `_kerberos` and the host's domain name, then its parent domain, and so forth. So for the hostname BOSTON.ENGINEERING.FOOBAR.COM, the names looked up would be:

         _kerberos.boston.engineering.foobar.com
         _kerberos.engineering.foobar.com
         _kerberos.foobar.com
         _kerberos.com

The value of the first TXT record found is taken as the realm name. (Obviously, this doesn't work all that well if a host and a subdomain have the same name, and different realms. For example, if all the hosts in the ENGINEERING.FOOBAR.COM domain are in the ENGINEERING.FOOBAR.COM realm, but a host named ENGINEERING.FOOBAR.COM is for some reason in another realm. In that case, you would set up TXT records for all hosts, rather than relying on the fallback to the domain name.)

Even if you do not choose to use this mechanism within your site, you may wish to set it up anyway, for use when interacting with other sites.

Node:Hostnames for KDCs, Previous:Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Up:Using DNS

### Hostnames for KDCs

MIT recommends that your KDCs have a predefined set of CNAME records (DNS hostname aliases), such as `kerberos` for the master KDC and `kerberos-1`, `kerberos-2`, ... for the slave KDCs. This way, if you need to swap a machine, you only need to change a DNS entry, rather than having to change hostnames.

A new mechanism for locating KDCs of a realm through DNS has been added to the MIT Kerberos V5 distribution. A relatively new record type called `SRV` has been added to DNS. Looked up by a service name and a domain name, these records indicate the hostname and port number to contact for that service, optionally with weighting and prioritization. (See RFC 2782 if you want more information. You can follow the example below for straightforward cases.)

The use with Kerberos is fairly straightforward. The domain name used in the SRV record name is the domain-style Kerberos realm name. (It is possible to have Kerberos realm names that are not DNS-style names, but we don't recommend it for Internet use, and our code does not support it well.) Several different Kerberos-related service names are used:

`_kerberos._udp`
  This is for contacting any KDC by UDP. This entry will be used the most often. Normally you should list port 88 on each of your KDCs.
`_kerberos._tcp`
  This is for contacting any KDC by TCP. The MIT KDC by default will not listen on any TCP ports, so unless you've changed the configuration or you're running another KDC implementation, you should leave this unspecified. If you do enable TCP support, normally you should use port 88.
`_kerberos-master._udp`
  This entry should refer to those KDCs, if any, that will immediately see password changes to the Kerberos database. This entry is used only in one case, when the user is logging in and the password appears to be incorrect; the master KDC is then contacted, and the same password used to try to decrypt the response, in case the user's password had recently been changed and the first KDC contacted hadn't been updated. Only if that fails is an "incorrect password" error given.

  If you have only one KDC, or for whatever reason there is no accessible KDC that would get database changes faster than the others, you do not need to define this entry.

`_kerberos-adm._tcp`
  This should list port 749 on your master KDC. Support for it is not complete at this time, but it will eventually be used by the `kadmin` program and related utilities. For now, you will also need the `admin_server` entry in `krb5.conf`. (See krb5.conf.)
`_kpasswd._udp`
  This should list port 464 on your master KDC. It is used when a user changes her password.

Be aware, however, that the DNS SRV specification requires that the hostnames listed be the canonical names, not aliases. So, for example, you might include the following records in your (BIND-style) zone file:

         $ORIGIN foobar.com.
         _kerberos               TXT       "FOOBAR.COM"
         kerberos                CNAME     daisy
         kerberos-1              CNAME     use-the-force-luke
         kerberos-2              CNAME     bunny-rabbit
         _kerberos._udp          SRV       0 0 88 daisy
                                 SRV       0 0 88 use-the-force-luke
                                 SRV       0 0 88 bunny-rabbit
         _kerberos-master._udp   SRV       0 0 88 daisy
         _kerberos-adm._tcp      SRV       0 0 749 daisy
         _kpasswd._udp           SRV       0 0 464 daisy

As with the DNS-based mechanism for determining the Kerberos realm of a host, we recommend distributing the information this way for use by other sites that may want to interact with yours using Kerberos, even if you don't immediately make use of it within your own site. If you anticipate installing a very large number of machines on which it will be hard to update the Kerberos configuration files, you may wish to do all of your Kerberos service lookups via DNS and not put the information (except for `admin_server` as noted above) in future versions of your `krb5.conf` files at all. Eventually, we hope to phase out the listing of server hostnames in the client-side configuration files; making preparations now will make the transition easier in the future.

Node:Administrating the Kerberos Database, Next:Configuring Kerberos with OpenLDAP back-end, Previous:Using DNS, Up:Top

## Administrating the Kerberos Database

Your Kerberos database contains all of your realm's Kerberos principals, their passwords, and other administrative information about each principal. For the most part, you will use the `kdb5_util` program to manipulate the Kerberos database as a whole, and the `kadmin` program to make changes to the entries in the database. (One notable exception is that users will use the `kpasswd` program to change their own passwords.) The `kadmin` program has its own command-line interface, to which you type the database administrating commands.

`Kdb5_util` provides a means to create, delete, load, or dump a Kerberos database. It also includes a command to stash a copy of the master database key in a file on a KDC, so that the KDC can authenticate itself to the `kadmind` and `krb5kdc` daemons at boot time.

`Kadmin` provides for the maintenance of Kerberos principals, KADM5 policies, and service key tables (keytabs). It exists as both a Kerberos client, `kadmin`, using Kerberos authentication and an RPC, to operate securely from anywhere on the network, and as a local client, `kadmin.local`, intended to run directly on the KDC without Kerberos authentication. `kadmin.local` need not run on the kdc if the database is LDAP. Other than the fact that the remote client uses Kerberos to authenticate the person using it, the functionalities of the two versions are identical. The local version is necessary to enable you to set up enough of the database to be able to use the remote version. It replaces the now obsolete `kdb5_edit` (except for database dump and load, which are provided by `kdb5_util`).

The remote version authenticates to the KADM5 server using the service principal `kadmin/admin`. If the credentials cache contains a ticket for the `kadmin/admin` principal, and the `-c ccache` option is specified, that ticket is used to authenticate to KADM5. Otherwise, the `-p` and `-k` options are used to specify the client Kerberos principal name used to authenticate. Once kadmin has determined the principal name, it requests a `kadmin/admin` Kerberos service ticket from the KDC, and uses that service ticket to authenticate to KADM5.

Node:Kadmin Options, Next:Date Format, Previous:Administrating the Kerberos Database, Up:Administrating the Kerberos Database

### Kadmin Options

You can invoke `kadmin` or `kadmin.local` with any of the following options:

-r REALM
  Use REALM as the default Kerberos realm for the database.
-p principal
  Use the Kerberos principal principal to authenticate to Kerberos. If this option is not given, `kadmin` will append `admin` to either the primary principal name, the environment variable USER, or to the username obtained from `getpwuid`, in order of preference.
-q query
  Pass query directly to `kadmin`. This is useful for writing scripts that pass specific queries to `kadmin`.

  You can invoke `kadmin` with any of the following options:

-k [-t keytab]
  Use the keytab keytab to decrypt the KDC response instead of prompting for a password on the TTY. In this case, the principal will be `host/`hostname``. If -t is not used to specify a keytab, then the default keytab will be used.
-c credentials cache
  Use credentials_cache as the credentials cache. The credentials cache should contain a service ticket for the `kadmin/admin` service, which can be acquired with the `kinit` program. If this option is not specified, `kadmin` requests a new service ticket from the KDC, and stores it in its own temporary ccache.
-w password
  Use password as the password instead of prompting for one on the TTY. Note: placing the password for a Kerberos principal with administration access into a shell script can be dangerous if unauthorized users gain read access to the script.
-x db_args
  Specifies the database specific arguments.
-x host=<hostname>
  Specifies the LDAP server to connect to by a LDAP URI. It is recommend to use ldapi:// or ldaps:// interface to connect to the LDAP server.
-x binddn=<bind_dn>
  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.
-x bindpwd=<bind_password>
  Specifies the password for the above mentioned binddn. It is recommended not to use this option. Instead, the password can be stashed using the stashsrvpw command of kdb5_ldap_util.

  Note: This database specific argument is applicable only to kadmin.local and the KADM5 server.

-s admin_server[:port]
  Specifies the admin server that kadmin should contact.

  You can invoke `kadmin.local` with an of the follwing options:

-d_ dbname
  Specifies the name of the Kerberos database.
-e "enctypes ..."
  Sets the list of cryptosystem and salt types to be used for any new keys created. See Supported Encryption Types and Salts for available types.
-m
  Do not authenticate using a keytab. This option will cause kadmin to prompt for the master database password.

### Date Format

Many of the `kadmin` commands take a duration or time as an argument. The date can appear in a wide variety of formats, such as:

         "15 minutes"
         "7 days"
         "1 month"
         "2 hours"
         "400000 seconds"
         "next year"
         "this Monday"
         "next Monday"
         yesterday
         tomorrow
         now
         "second Monday"
         fortnight
         "3/31/1992 10:00:07 PST"
         "January 23, 2007 10:05pm"
         "22:00 GMT"

Note that if the date specification contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes. Note also that you cannot use a number without a unit. (I.e., ""60 seconds"" is correct, but "60" is incorrect.) All keywords are case-insensitive. The following is a list of all of the allowable keywords.

#### Retrieving Information About a Principal

Node:Attributes, Next:Retrieving a List of Principals, Previous:Retrieving Information About a Principal, Up:Retrieving Information About a Principal

##### Attributes

To retrieve a listing of the attributes and/or policies associated with a principal, use the `kadmin` `get_principal` command, which requires the "inquire" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         get_principal principal

The `get_principal` command has the alias `getprinc`.

For example, suppose you wanted to view the attributes of the principal
`jennifer/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU`. You would type:

         shell% kadmin
         kadmin: getprinc jennifer/root
         Principal: jennifer/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         Expiration date: [never]

Node:Retrieving a List of Principals, Previous:Attributes, Up:Retrieving Information About a Principal

##### Retrieving a List of Principals

To generate a listing of principals, use the `kadmin` `list_principals` command, which requires the "list" privilege. The syntax is:

         list_principals [expression]

where expression is a shell-style glob expression that can contain the characters `*`, `?`, `[`, and `]`. All policy names matching the expression are displayed. The `list_principals` command has the aliases `listprincs`, `get_principals`, and `getprincs`. For example:

         kadmin: listprincs test*
         test3@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         test2@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         test1@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         testuser@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         kadmin:

If no expression is provided, all principals are printed.

Node:Privileges, Next:Adding or Modifying Principals, Previous:Retrieving Information About a Principal, Up:Principals

#### Privileges

Administrative privileges for the Kerberos database are stored in the file `kadm5.acl`.

The format of the file is:

         Kerberos_principal      permissions     [target_principal]	[restrictions]

The Kerberos principal (and optional target principal) can include the "*" wildcard, so if you want any principal with the instance "admin" to have full permissions on the database, you could use the principal "`*/admin@REALM`" where "REALM" is your Kerberos realm. `target_principal` can also include backreferences to `Kerberos_principal`, in which "*number" matches the component number in the `Kerberos_principal`.

Note: a common use of an admin instance is so you can grant separate permissions (such as administrator access to the Kerberos database) to a separate Kerberos principal. For example, the user `joeadmin` might have a principal for his administrative use, called `joeadmin/admin`. This way, `joeadmin` would obtain `joeadmin/admin` tickets only when he actually needs to use those permissions.

The permissions are represented by single letters; UPPER-CASE letters represent negative permissions. The permissions are:

a
  allows the addition of principals or policies in the database.
A
  disallows the addition of principals or policies in the database.
d
  allows the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
D
  disallows the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
m
  allows the modification of principals or policies in the database.
M
  disallows the modification of principals or policies in the database.
c
  allows the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
C
  disallows the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
i
  allows inquiries to the database.
I
  disallows inquiries to the database.
l
  allows the listing of principals or policies in the database.
L
  disallows the listing of principals or policies in the database.
s
  allows the explicit setting of the key for a principal
S
  disallows the explicit setting of the key for a principal
*
  All privileges (admcil).
x
  All privileges (admcil); identical to "*".

The restrictions are a string of flags. Allowed restrictions are:

[+ -]flagname
  flag is forced to indicated value. The permissible flags are the same as the `+` and `-` flags for the `kadmin addprinc` and `modprinc` commands.
-clearpolicy
  policy is forced to clear
-policy pol
  policy is forced to be pol
expire time
pwexpire time
maxlife time
maxrenewlife time
  associated value will be forced to MIN(time, requested value)

The above flags act as restrictions on any add or modify operation which is allowed due to that ACL line.

Here is an example of a `kadm5.acl` file. Note that order is important; permissions are determined by the first matching entry.

         */admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU  *
         joeadmin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU  ADMCIL
         joeadmin/*@ATHENA.MIT.EDU il */root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         *@ATHENA.MIT.EDU cil *1/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         */*@ATHENA.MIT.EDU  i
         */admin@EXAMPLE.COM * -maxlife 9h -postdateable

In the above file, any principal in the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm with an `admin` instance has all administrative privileges. The user `joeadmin` has all permissions with his `admin` instance, `joeadmin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU` (matches the first line). He has no permissions at all with his `null` instance, `joeadmin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU` (matches the second line). His root instance has inquire and list permissions with any other principal that has the instance `root`. Any principal in ATHENA.MIT.EDU can inquire, list, or change the password of their `admin` instance, but not any other `admin` instance. Any principal in the realm `ATHENA.MIT.EDU` (except for `joeadmin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU`, as mentioned above) has inquire privileges. Finally, any principal with an admin instance in EXAMPLE.COM has all permissions, but any principal that they create or modify will not be able to get postdateable tickets or tickets with a life of longer than 9 hours.

Node:Adding or Modifying Principals, Next:Deleting Principals, Previous:Privileges, Up:Principals

#### Adding or Modifying Principals

To add a principal to the database, use the kadmin `add_principal` command, which requires the "add" administrative privilege. This function creates the new principal, prompting twice for a password, and, if neither the -policy nor -clearpolicy options are specified and the policy "default" exists, assigns it that policy. The syntax is:

         kadmin: add_principal [options] principal

To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin `modify_principal` command, which requires the "modify" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         kadmin: modify_principal [options] principal

`add_principal` has the aliases `addprinc` and `ank` 2. `modify_principal` has the alias `modprinc`.

The `add_principal` and `modify_principal` commands take the following switches:

-x db_princ_args
  Denotes the database specific options.

  The options for LDAP database are:

  -x dn=<dn>
    Specifies the LDAP object that will contain the Kerberos principal being created.
  -x linkdn=<dn>
    Specifies the LDAP object to which the newly created Kerberos principal object will point to.
  -x containerdn=<container_dn>
    Specifies the container object under which the Kerberos principal is to be created.
  -x tktpolicy=<policy>
    Associates a ticket policy to the Kerberos principal. Specifying an empty string value clears the ticket policy associated with the principal.

    Note:

    * dn and containerdn options are not valid while modifying the principal.

    * containerdn and linkdn options cannot be specified with dn option.

    * If dn or containerdn options are not specified while adding the principal, the principals are created under the prinicipal container configured in the realm or the realm container. * dn and containerdn should be within the subtrees or principal container configured in the realm.

-expire date
  Sets the expiration date of the principal to date.
-pwexpire date
  Sets the expiration date of the password to date.
-maxlife maxlife
  Sets the maximum ticket life of the principal to maxlife.
-maxrenewlife maxrenewlife
  Sets the maximum renewable life of tickets for the principal to maxrenewlife.
-kvno number
  Explicity sets the key version number to number. MIT does not recommend doing this unless there is a specific reason.
-policy policy
  Sets the policy used by this principal. (See Policies.) With `modify_principal`, the current policy assigned to the principal is set or changed. With `add_principal`, if this option is not supplied, the -clearpolicy is not specified, and the policy "default" exists, that policy is assigned. If a principal is created with no policy, `kadmin` will print a warning message.
-clearpolicy
  For `modify_principal`, removes the current policy from a principal. For `add_principal`, suppresses the automatic assignment of the policy "default".
{-|+}allow_postdated
  The "-allow_postdated" option prohibits this principal from obtaining postdated tickets. "+allow_postdated" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_postdated" sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_POSTDATED flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_forwardable
  The "-allow_forwardable" option prohibits this principal from obtaining forwardable tickets. "+allow_forwardable" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_forwardable" sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_FORWARDABLE flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_renewable
  The "-allow_renewable" option prohibits this principal from obtaining renewable tickets. "+allow_renewable" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_renewable" sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_RENEWABLE flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_proxiable
  The "-allow_proxiable" option prohibits this principal from obtaining proxiable tickets. "+allow_proxiable" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_proxiable" sets the
  KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_PROXIABLE flag. on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_dup_skey
  The "-allow_dup_skey" option disables user-to-user authentication for this principal by prohibiting this principal from obtaining a session key for another user. "+allow_dup_skey" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_dup_skey" sets the
  KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_DUP_SKEY flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}requires_preauth
  The "+requires_preauth" option requires this principal to preauthenticate before being allowed to kinit. -requires_preauth clears this flag. In effect, +requires_preauth sets the KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_PRE_AUTH flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}requires_hwauth
  The "+requires_hwauth" flag requires the principal to preauthenticate using a hardware device before being allowed to kinit. "-requires_hwauth" clears this flag. In effect, "+requires_hwauth" sets the KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_HW_AUTH flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_svr
  The "-allow_svr" flag prohibits the issuance of service tickets for this principal. "+allow_svr" clears this flag. In effect, "-allow_svr" sets the
  KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_SVR flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_tgs_req
  The "-allow_tgs_req" option specifies that a Ticket-Granting Service (TGS) request for a service ticket for this principal is not permitted. You will probably never need to use this option. "+allow_tgs_req" clears this flag. The default is "+allow_tgs_req". In effect, "-allow_tgs_req" sets the KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_TGT_BASED flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}allow_tix
  The "-allow_tix" option forbids the issuance of any tickets for this principal. "+allow_tix" clears this flag. The default is "+allow_tix". In effect, "-allow_tix" sets the
  KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_ALL_TIX flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}needchange
  The "+needchange" option sets a flag in attributes field to force a password change; "-needchange" clears it. The default is "-needchange". In effect, "+needchange" sets the KRB5_KDB_REQUIRES_PWCHANGE flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}password_changing_service
  The "+password_changing_service" option sets a flag in the attributes field marking this principal as a password change service. (Again, you will probably never need to use this option.) "-password_changing_service" clears the flag. The default is "-password_changing_service". In effect, the "+password_changing_service" option sets the KRB5_KDB_PWCHANGE_SERVICE flag on the principal in the database.
{-|+}ok_as_delegate
  The "+ok_as_delegate" option sets a flag in tickets issued for the service principal. Some client programs may recognize this flag as indicating that it is okay to delegate credentials to the service. If ok_as_delegate is set on a cross-realm TGT, it indicates that the foreign realm's ok_as_delegate flags should be honored by clients in the local realm. The default is "-ok_as_delegate".
-randkey
  Sets the key for the principal to a random value (`add_principal` only). MIT recommends using this option for host keys.
-pw password
  Sets the key of the principal to the specified string and does not prompt for a password (`add_principal` only). MIT does not recommend using this option.
-e enc:salt...
  Uses the specified list of enctype-salttype pairs for setting the key of the principal. The quotes are necessary if there are multiple enctype-salttype pairs. This will not function against kadmin daemons earlier than krb5-1.2. See Supported Encryption Types and Salts for available types.

If you want to just use the default values, all you need to do is:

         kadmin: addprinc jennifer
         WARNING: no policy specified for "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU";
         defaulting to no policy.
         Enter password for principal jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type the password.
         Re-enter password for principal jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <=Type it again.
         Principal "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" created.
         kadmin:

If you want to create a principal which is contained by a LDAP object, all you need to do is:

         kadmin: addprinc -x dn=cn=jennifer,dc=example,dc=com jennifer
         WARNING: no policy specified for "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU";
         defaulting to no policy.
         Enter password for principal jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type the password.
         Re-enter password for principal jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <=Type it again.
         Principal "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" created.
         kadmin:

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:

         kadmin: addprinc -x containerdn=dc=example,dc=com -x linkdn=cn=david,dc=example,dc=com david
         WARNING: no policy specified for "david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU";
         defaulting to no policy.
         Enter password for principal david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type the password.
         Re-enter password for principal david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <=Type it again.
         Principal "david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" created.
         kadmin:

If you want to associate a ticket policy to a principal, all you need to do is:

         kadmin: modprinc -x tktpolicy=userpolicy david
         Principal "david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" modified.
         kadmin:

If, on the other hand, you want to set up an account that expires on January 1, 2000, that uses a policy called "stduser", with a temporary password (which you want the user to change immediately), you would type the following. (Note: each line beginning with => is a continuation of the previous line.)

         kadmin: addprinc david -expire "1/1/2000 12:01am EST" -policy stduser
         =>  +needchange
         Enter password for principal david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type the password.
         Re-enter password for principal
         david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type it again.
         Principal "david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" created.
         kadmin:

If you will need cross-realm authentication, you need to add principals for the other realm's TGT to each realm. For example, if you need to do cross-realm authentication between the realms ATHENA.MIT.EDU and EXAMPLE.COM, you would need to add the principals
`krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU` and `krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@EXAMPLE.COM` to both databases. You need to be sure the passwords and the key version numbers (kvno) are the same in both databases. This may require explicitly setting the kvno with the `-kvno` option. See Cross-realm Authentication for more details.

#### Deleting Principals

To delete a principal, use the kadmin `delete_principal` command, which requires the "delete" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         delete_principal [-force] principal

`delete_principal` has the alias `delprinc`. The `-force` option causes `delete_principal` not to ask if you're sure. For example:

         kadmin: delprinc jennifer
         Are you sure you want to delete the principal
         "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU"? (yes/no): yes
         Principal "jennifer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" deleted.
         Make sure that you have removed this principal from
         all ACLs before reusing.

Node:Changing Passwords, Previous:Deleting Principals, Up:Principals

#### Changing Passwords

To change a principal's password use the kadmin `change_password` command, which requires the "modify" administrative privilege (unless the principal is changing his/her own password). The syntax is:

         change_password [options] principal

The `change_password` option has the alias `cpw`. `change_password` takes the following options:

-randkey
  Sets the key of the principal to a random value.
-pw password
  Sets the password to the string password. MIT does not recommend using this option.
-e "enc:salt..."
  Uses the specified list of enctype-salttype pairs for setting the key of the principal. The quotes are necessary if there are multiple enctype-salttype pairs. This will not function against kadmin daemons earlier than krb5-1.2. See Supported Encryption Types and Salts for possible values.
-keepold
  Keeps the previous kvno's keys around. This flag is usually not necessary except perhaps for TGS keys. Don't use this flag unless you know what you're doing. This option is not supported for the LDAP database

For example:

         kadmin: cpw david
         Enter password for principal david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type the new password.
         Re-enter password for principal david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:  <= Type it again.
         Password for david@ATHENA.MIT.EDU changed.
         kadmin:

Note that `change_password` will not let you change the password to one that is in the principal's password history.

### Policies

A policy is a set of rules governing passwords. Policies can dictate minimum and maximum password lifetimes, minimum number of characters and character classes a password must contain, and the number of old passwords kept in the database.

Node:Retrieving Policies, Next:Retrieving the List of Policies, Previous:Policies, Up:Policies

#### Retrieving Policies

To retrieve a policy, use the kadmin `get_policy` command, which requires the "inquire" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         get_policy [-terse] policy

The `get_policy` command has the alias `getpol`. For example:

         kadmin: get_policy admin
         Policy: admin
         Maximum password life: 180 days 00:00:00
         Minimum password life: 00:00:00
         Minimum password length: 6
         Minimum number of password character classes: 2
         Number of old keys kept: 5
         Reference count: 17
         kadmin:

The reference count is the number of principals using that policy.

The `get_policy` command has a `-terse` option, which lists each field as a quoted, tab-separated string. For example:

         kadmin: get_policy -terse admin
         admin   15552000        0       6       2       5       17

#### Retrieving the List of Policies

You can retrieve the list of policies with the kadmin `list_policies` command, which requires the "list" privilege. The syntax is:

         list_policies [expression]

where expression is a shell-style glob expression that can contain the characters *, ?, and []. All policy names matching the expression are displayed. The `list_policies` command has the aliases `listpols`, `get_policies`, and `getpols`. For example:

         kadmin:  listpols
         test-pol
         dict-only
         once-a-min
         test-pol-nopw

#### Adding or Modifying Policies

To add a new policy, use the kadmin `add_policy` command, which requires the "add" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         add_policy [options] policy_name

To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin `modify_policy` command, which requires the "modify" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         modify_policy [options] policy_name

`add_policy` has the alias `addpol`. `modify_poilcy` has the alias `modpol`.

The `add_policy` and `modify_policy` commands take the following switches:

-maxlife time
  Sets the maximum lifetime of a password to time.
-minlife time
  Sets the minimum lifetime of a password to time.
-minlength length
  Sets the minimum length of a password to length characters.
-minclasses number
  Requires at least number of character classes in a password.
-history number
  Sets the number of past keys kept for a principal to number. This option is not supported for LDAP database.

Note: The policies are created under realm container in the LDAP database.

Node:Deleting Policies, Next:Updating the History Key, Previous:Adding or Modifying Policies, Up:Policies

#### Deleting Policies

To delete a policy, use the `kadmin` `delete_policy` command, which requires the "delete" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         delete_policy [-force] policy_name

The `delete_policy` command has the alias `delpol`. It prompts for confirmation before deletion. For example:

         kadmin: delete_policy guests
         Are you sure you want to delete the policy "guests"?
         (yes/no): yes
         kadmin:

Note that you must cancel the policy from all principals before deleting it. The `delete_policy` command will fail if it is in use by any principals.

Node:Updating the History Key, Previous:Deleting Policies, Up:Policies

#### Updating the History Key

If a policy specifies a number of old keys kept of two or more, the stored old keys are encrypted in a history key, which is found in the key data of the kadmin/history principal.

Currently there is no support for proper rollover of the history key, but you can change the history key (for example, to use a better encryption type) at the cost of invalidating currently stored old keys. To change the history key, run:

         kadmin: change_password -randkey kadmin/history

This command will fail if you specify the -keepold flag. Only one new history key will be created, even if you specify multiple key/salt combinations.

In the future, we plan to migrate towards encrypting old keys in the master key instead of the history key, and implementing proper rollover support for stored old keys.

### Global Operations on the Kerberos Database

The `kdb5_util` command is the primary tool for administrating the Kerberos database. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util command [kdb5_util_options] [command_options]

The `kdb5_util` command takes the following options, which override the defaults specified in the configuration files:

-r realm
  specifies the the Kerberos realm of the database.
-d database_name
  specifies the name under which the principal database is stored.
-k master_key_type
  specifies the key type of the master key in the database.
-M master_key_name
  specifies the principal name of the master key in the database.
-m
  indicates that the master database password should be read from the TTY rather than fetched from a file on disk.
-sf stash_file
  specifies the stash file of the master database password
-P password
  specifies the master database password. MIT does not recommend using this option.

Node:Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File, Next:Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File, Previous:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database, Up:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database

#### Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File

To dump a Kerberos database into a file, use the `kdb5_util` `dump` command on one of the KDCs. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util dump [-old] [-b6] [-b7] [-ov]
         [-verbose] [-mkey_convert] [-new_mkey_file] [filename
         [principals...]]

The `kdb5_util dump` command takes the following options:

-old
  causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 5 and earlier dump format ("kdb5_edit load_dump version 2.0").
-b6
  causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 6 format ("kdb5_edit load_dump version 3.0").
-b7
  causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 7 format ("kdbt_edit load_dump version 4").
-ov
  causes the dump to be in ovsec_adm_export format. Currently, the only way to preserve per-principal policy information is to use this in conjunction with a normal dump.
-verbose
  causes the name of each principal and policy to be printed as it is dumped.
-mkey_convert
  prompts for a new master password, and then dumps the database with all keys reencrypted in this new master key
-new_mkey_file
  reads a new key from the default keytab and then dumps the database with all keys reencrypted in this new master key

For example:

         shell% kdb5_util dump dumpfile
         shell%

         shell% kbd5_util dump -verbose dumpfile
         kadmin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         kadmin/history@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         K/M@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         kadmin/changepw@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         shell%

If you specify which principals to dump, you must use the full principal, as in the following example. (The line beginning with => is a continuation of the previous line.):

         shell% kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile K/M@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         => kadmin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         kadmin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         K/M@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         shell%

Otherwise, the principals will not match those in the database and will not be dumped:

         shell% kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile K/M kadmin/admin
         shell%

If you do not specify a dump file, `kdb5_util` will dump the database to the standard output.

There is currently a bug where the default dump format omits the per-principal policy information. In order to dump all the data contained in the Kerberos database, you must perform a normal dump (with no option flags) and an additional dump using the "-ov" flag to a different file.

Node:Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File, Next:Creating a Stash File, Previous:Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File, Up:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database

#### Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File

To restore a Kerberos database dump from a file, use the `kdb5_util` `load` command on one of the KDCs. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util load [-old] [-b6] [-b7] [-ov] [-verbose]
         [-update] [-hash] dumpfilename dbname [admin_dbname]

The `kdb5_util load` command takes the following options:

-old
  requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 5 and earlier dump format ("kdb5_edit load_dump version 2.0").
-b6
  requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 6 format ("kdb5_edit load_dump version 3.0").
-b7
  requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 7 format ("kdb5_edit load_dump version 4").
-ov
  requires the dump to be in ovsec_adm_export format.
-verbose
  causes the name of each principal and policy to be printed as it is loaded.
-update
  causes records from the dump file to be updated in or added to the existing database. This is useful in conjunction with an ovsec_adm_export format dump if you want to preserve per-principal policy information, since the current default format does not contain this data.
-hash
  causes the database to be stored as a hash rather than a binary tree.

For example:

         shell% kdb5_util load dumpfile principal
         shell%

         shell% kdb5_util load -update dumpfile principal
         shell%

If the database file exists, and the -update flag was not given, `kdb5_util` will overwrite the existing database.

Node:Creating a Stash File, Next:Creating and Destroying a Kerberos Database, Previous:Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File, Up:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database

#### Creating a Stash File

A stash file allows a KDC to authenticate itself to the database utilities, such as `kadmin`, `kadmind`, `krb5kdc`, and `kdb5_util`.

To create a stash file, use the `kdb5_util` `stash` command. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util stash [-f keyfile]

For example:

         shell% kdb5_util stash
         kdb5_util: Cannot find/read stored master key while reading master key
         kdb5_util: Warning: proceeding without master key
         Enter KDC database master key:  <= Type the KDC database master password.
         shell%

If you do not specify a stash file, `kdb5_util` will stash the key in the file specified in your `kdc.conf` file.

Node:Creating and Destroying a Kerberos Database, Previous:Creating a Stash File, Up:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database

#### Creating and Destroying a Kerberos Database

If you need to create a new Kerberos database, use the `kdb5_util` `create` command. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util create [-s]

If you specify the `-s` option, `kdb5_util` will stash a copy of the master key in a stash file. (See Creating a Stash File.) For example:

         shell% /usr/local/sbin/kdb5_util -r ATHENA.MIT.EDU create -s
         kdb5_util: No such file or directory while setting active database to
         => '/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/principal'
         Initializing database '/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/principal' for
         => realm 'ATHENA.MIT.EDU',
         master key name 'K/M@ATHENA.MIT.EDU'
         You will be prompted for the database Master Password.
         It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.
         Enter KDC database master key:  <= Type the master password.
         Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:  <= Type it again.
         shell%

If you need to destroy the current Kerberos database, use the `kdb5_util` `destroy` command. The syntax is:

         kdb5_util destroy [-f]

The `destroy` command destroys the database, first overwriting the disk sectors and then unlinking the files. If you specify the `-f` option, `kdb5_util` will not prompt you for a confirmation before destroying the database.

         shell% /usr/local/sbin/kdb5_util -r ATHENA.MIT.EDU destroy
         kdb5_util: Deleting KDC database stored in /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/principal, are you sure
         (type yes to confirm)? <== yes
         OK, deleting database '/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/principal'...

         shell%

### Global Operations on the Kerberos LDAP Database

The `kdb5_ldap_util` is the primary tool for administrating the Kerberos LDAP database. It allows an administrator to manage realms, Kerberos services ( KDC and Admin Server) and ticket policies.

The syntax is:

         kdb5_ldap_util [-D user_dn [-w passwd]] [-H ldap_uri] command [command_options]

-D user_dn
  Specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of the user who has sufficient rights to perform the operation on the LDAP server.
-w passwd
  Specifies the password of user_dn. This option is not recommended.
-H ldap_uri
  Specifies the URI of the LDAP server. It is recommended to use ldapi:// or ldaps:// to connect to the LDAP server.

#### Creating and Modifying a Ticket Policy

This command creates a ticket policy in directory.

         create_policy [-r realm] [-maxrenewlife max_renewable_ticket_life] [ticket_flags] policy_name

Ticket policy objects are created under the realm container.

This command modifies a ticket policy in directory.

         modify_policy [-r realm] [-maxrenewlife max_renewable_ticket_life] [ticket_flags] policy_name

Options are as follows:

-r realm
  Specifies the Kerberos realm of the database; by default the realm returned by krb5_default_local_realm(3) is used.
-maxtktlife max_ticket_life
  specifies maximum ticket life for principals.
-maxrenewlife max_renewable_ticket_life
  specifies maximum renewable life of tickets for principals.
ticket_flags
  Specifies the ticket flags. If this option is not specified, by default, none of the flags are set. This means all the ticket options will be allowed and no restriction will be set.

  The various flags are:

  {-|+}allow_postdated
    `-allow_postdated` prohibits principals from obtaining postdated tickets. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_POSTDATED` flag.).`+allow_postdated` clears this flag.
  {-|+}allow_forwardable
    `-allow_forwardable` prohibits principals from obtaining forwardable tickets. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_FORWARDABLE` flag.) `+allow_forwardable` clears this flag.
  {-|+}allow_renewable
    `-allow_renewable` prohibits principals from obtaining renewable tickets. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_RENEWABLE` flag.) `+allow_renewable` clears this flag.
  {-|+}allow_proxiable
    `-allow_proxiable` prohibits principals from obtaining proxiable tickets. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_PROXABLE` flag.) `+allow_proxiable` clears this flag.
  {-|+}allow_dup_skey
    `-allow_dup_skey` Disables user-to-user authentication for principals by prohibiting principals from obtaining a sessions key for another user. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_DUP_SKEY` flag.). `+allow_dup_skey` clears This flag.
  {-|+}requires_preauth
    `+requires_preauth` requires principals to preauthenticate before being allowed to kinit. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_REQURES_PRE_AUTH` flag.) `-requires_preauth` clears this flag.
  {-|+}requires_hwauth
    `+requires_hwauth` requires principals to preauthenticate using a hardware device before being allowed to kinit. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_REQURES_HW_AUTH` flag.) `-requires_hwauth` clears this flag.
  {-|+}allow_svr
    `-allow_svr` prohibits the issuance of service tickets for principals. (Sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_SVR` flag.) `+allow_svr` clears This flag.
  {-|+}allow_tgs_req
    `-allow_tgs_req` specifies that a Ticket-Granting Service (TGS) request for a service ticket for principals is not permitted. This option is useless for most things.`+allow_tgs_req` clears this flag. The default is `+allow_tgs_req`. In effect, `-allow_tgs_req` sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_TGT_BASED` flag on principals in the database.
  {-|+}allow_tix
    `-allow_tix` forbids the issuance of any tickets for principals. `+allow_tix` clears this flag. The default is `+allow_tix`. In effect, `-allow_tix` sets the `KRB5_KDB_DISALLOW_ALL_TIX` flag on principals in the database.
  {-|+}needchange
    `+needchange` sets a flag in attributes field to force a password change; `-needchange` clears it. The default is `-needchange`. In effect, `+needchange` sets the `KRB5_KDB_REQURES_PWCHANGE` flag on principals in the database.
  {-|+}password_changing_service
    `+password_changing_service` sets a flag in the attributes field marking principal as a password change service principal (useless for most things). `-password_changing_service` clears the flag. This flag intentionally has a long name. The default is `-password_changing_service`. In effect, `+password_changing_service` sets the `KRB5_KDB_PWCHANGE_SERVICE` flag on principals in the database.
policy_name
  Specifies the name of the ticket policy.

For example:

         shell% kdb5_ldap_util -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -H ldaps://ldap-server1.mit.edu create_policy
         -r ATHENA.MIT.EDU -maxtktlife "1 day" -maxrenewlife "1 week" -allow_forwardable usertktpolicy

Node:Cross-realm Authentication, Next:Changing the krbtgt Key, Previous:Global Operations on the Kerberos LDAP Database, Up:Administrating the Kerberos Database

### Cross-realm Authentication

In order for a KDC in one realm to authenticate Kerberos users in a different realm, it must share a key with the KDC in the other realm. In both databases, there must be krbtgt service principals for realms. These principals should all have the same passwords, key version numbers, and encryption types. For example, if the administrators of ATHENA.MIT.EDU and EXAMPLE.COM wanted to authenticate across the realms, they would run the following commands on the KDCs in both realms:

         shell%: kadmin.local -e "des3-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-crc:v4"
         kadmin: addprinc -requires_preauth krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@EXAMPLE.COM
         Enter password for principal krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@EXAMPLE.COM:
         Re-enter password for principal krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@EXAMPLE.COM:
         kadmin: addprinc -requires_preauth krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         Enter password for principal krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:
         Enter password for principal krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU:
         kadmin:

Even if most principals in a realm are generally created with the requires_preauth flag enabled, this flag is not desirable on cross-realm authentication keys because doing so makes it impossible to disable preauthentication on a service-by-service basis. Disabling it as in the example above is recommended.

It is also very important that these principals have good passwords. MIT recommends that TGT principal passwords be at least 26 characters of random ASCII text.

Node:Changing the krbtgt Key, Previous:Cross-realm Authentication, Up:Administrating the Kerberos Database

### Changing the krbtgt Key

A Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) is a service ticket for the principal krbtgt/REALM. The key for this principal is created when the Kerberos database is initialized and need not be changed. However, it will only have the encryption types supported by the KDC at the time of the initial database creation. To allow use of newer encryption types for the TGT, this key has to be changed.

Changing this key using the normal `kadmin change_password` command would invalidate any previously issued TGTs. Therefore, when changing this key, normally one should use the -keepold flag to `change_password` to retain the previous key in the database as well as the new key. For example:

         kadmin: change_password -randkey -keepold krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

After issuing this command, the old key is still valid and is still vulnerable to (for instance) brute force attacks. To completely retire an old key or encryption type, run the `purgekeys` command to delete keys with older kvnos, ideally first making sure that all tickets issued with the old keys have expired.

Node:Configuring Kerberos with OpenLDAP back-end, Next:Application Servers, Previous:Administrating the Kerberos Database, Up:Top

## Configuring Kerberos with OpenLDAP back-end

1. Set up SSL on the OpenLDAP server and client to ensure secure communication when the KDC service and LDAP server are on different machines. `ldapi://` can be used if the LDAP server and KDC service are running on the same machine.
   1. Setting up SSL on the OpenLDAP server:
      1. Get a CA certificate using OpenSSL tools
      2. Configure OpenLDAP server for using SSL/TLS

         For the latter, you need to specify the location of CA certificate location in slapd.conf file.

         Refer to the following link for more information: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/tls.html

   2. Setting up SSL on OpenLDAP Client:
      1. For the KDC and Admin Server, you need to do the client-side configuration in ldap.conf.

         For example,

                                 TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.pem

2. Include the Kerberos schema file (kerberos.schema) in the configuration file (slapd.conf) on the LDAP Server, by providing the location where it is stored.

                 include /etc/openldap/schema/kerberos.schema

3. Choose DNs for the KDC and kadmin servers to bind to the LDAP server, and create them if necessary. These DNs will be specified with the `ldap_kdc_dn` and `ldap_kadmind_dn` directives in krb5.conf; their passwords can be stashed with `kdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw` and the resulting file specified with the `ldap_service_password_file` directive.
4. Choose a DN for the global Kerberos container entry (but do not create the entry at this time). This DN will be specified with the `ldap_kerberos_container_dn` directive in krb5.conf. Realm container entries will be created underneath this DN. Principal entries may exist either underneath the realm container (the default) or in separate trees referenced from the realm container.
5. Configure the LDAP server ACLs to enable the KDC and kadmin server DNs to read and write the Kerberos data.

                 access to *
                         by * read

   If the locations of the container and principals or the DNs of the service objects for a realm are changed then this information should be updated.

6. Start the LDAP server as follows:

                 slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldaps:///"

7. Modify the krb5.conf file to include LDAP specific items listed below:

                 realms
                   database_module

                 dbmodules
                   db_library
                   db_module_dir
                   ldap_kdc_dn
                   ldap_kadmind_dn
                   ldap_service_password_file
                   ldap_servers
                   ldap_conns_per_server

   For the sample `krb5.conf` file, refer to Sample krb5.conf File.

   For more details, refer to the section `krb5.conf`

8. Create the realm using `kdb5_ldap_util`.

                 kdb5_ldap_util -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com create -subtrees ou=users,dc=example,dc=com -r EXAMPLE.COM -s

   Use the `-subtrees` option if the principals are to exist in a separate subtree from the realm container. Before executing the command, make sure that the subtree mentioned above `(ou=users,dc=example,dc=com)` exists. If the principals will exist underneath the realm container, omit the `-subtrees` option and do not worry about creating the principal subtree.

   For more information, refer to the section Global Operations on the Kerberos LDAP Database.

   The realm object is created under the ldap_kerberos_container_dn specified in the configuration file. This operation will also create the Kerberos container, if not present already. This will be used to store information related to all realms.

9. Stash the password of the service object used by the KDC and Administration service to bind to the LDAP server using the stashsrvpw command of kdb5_ldap_util. The object DN should be the same as ldap_kdc_dn and ldap_kadmind_dn values specified in the krb5.conf file.

                 kdb5_ldap_util -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com stashsrvpw -f /etc/kerberos/service.keyfile cn=krbadmin,dc=example,dc=com

10. Add krb5principalname to the indexes in slapd.conf to speed up the access.

With the LDAP back end it is possible to provide aliases for principal entries. Currently we provide no mechanism provided for creating aliases, so it must be done by direct manipulation of the LDAP entries.

An entry with aliases contains multiple values of the krbPrincipalName attribute. Since LDAP attribute values are not ordered, it is necessary to specify which principal name is canonical, by using the krbCanonicalName attribute. Therefore, to create aliases for an entry, first set the krbCanonicalName attribute of the entry to the canonical principal name (which should be identical to the pre-existing krbPrincipalName value), and then add additional krbPrincipalName attributes for the aliases.

Principal aliases are only returned by the KDC when the client requests canonicalization. Canonicalization is normally requested for service principals; for client principals, an explicit flag is often required (e.g. `kinit -C`) and canonicalization is only performed for initial ticket requests.

## Application Servers

If you need to install the Kerberos V5 programs on an application server, please refer to the Kerberos V5 Installation Guide. Once you have installed the software, you need to add that host to the Kerberos database (see Adding or Modifying Principals), and generate a keytab for that host, that contains the host's key. You also need to make sure the host's clock is within your maximum clock skew of the KDCs.

Node:Keytabs, Next:Clock Skew, Previous:Application Servers, Up:Application Servers

### Keytabs

A keytab is a host's copy of its own keylist, which is analogous to a user's password. An application server that needs to authenticate itself to the KDC has to have a keytab that contains its own principal and key. Just as it is important for users to protect their passwords, it is equally important for hosts to protect their keytabs. You should always store keytab files on local disk, and make them readable only by root, and you should never send a keytab file over a network in the clear. Ideally, you should run the `kadmin` command to extract a keytab on the host on which the keytab is to reside.

Node:Adding Principals to Keytabs, Next:Removing Principals from Keytabs, Previous:Keytabs, Up:Keytabs

#### Adding Principals to Keytabs

To generate a keytab, or to add a principal to an existing keytab, use the `ktadd` command from `kadmin`, which requires the "inquire" administrative privilege. (If you use the -glob princ_exp option, it also requires the "list" administrative privilege.) The syntax is:

         ktadd [-k[eytab] keytab] [-q] [-e
         key:salt_list] [principal | -glob princ_exp]
         [...]

The `ktadd` command takes the following switches:

-k[eytab] keytab
  use keytab as the keytab file. Otherwise, `ktadd` will use the default keytab file (`/etc/krb5.keytab`).
-e "enc:salt..."
  Uses the specified list of enctype-salttype pairs for setting the key of the principal. The quotes are necessary if there are multiple enctype-salttype pairs. This will not function against kadmin daemons earlier than krb5-1.2. See Supported Encryption Types and Salts for all possible values.
-q
  run in quiet mode. This causes `ktadd` to display less verbose information.
principal | -glob principal expression
  add principal, or all principals matching principal expression to the keytab. The rules for principal expression are the same as for the kadmin `list_principals` (see Retrieving a List of Principals) command.

Here is a sample session, using configuration files that enable only `des-cbc-crc` encryption. (The line beginning with => is a continuation of the previous line.)

         kadmin: ktadd host/daffodil.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
         kadmin: Entry for principal host/daffodil.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU with
              kvno 2, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
              WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab.
         kadmin:

         kadmin: ktadd -k /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kadmind.keytab
         => kadmin/admin kadmin/changepw
         kadmin: Entry for principal kadmin/admin@ATHENA.MIT.EDU with
              kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab

Node:Removing Principals from Keytabs, Previous:Adding Principals to Keytabs, Up:Keytabs

#### Removing Principals from Keytabs

To remove a principal from an existing keytab, use the kadmin `ktremove` command. The syntax is:

         ktremove [-k[eytab] keytab] [-q] principal [kvno | all | old]

The `ktremove` command takes the following switches:

-k[eytab] keytab
  use keytab as the keytab file. Otherwise, `ktremove` will use the default keytab file (`/etc/krb5.keytab`).
-q
  run in quiet mode. This causes `ktremove` to display less verbose information.
principal
  the principal to remove from the keytab. (Required.)
kvno
  remove all entries for the specified principal whose Key Version Numbers match kvno.
all
  remove all entries for the specified principal
old
  remove all entries for the specified principal except those with the highest kvno.

For example:

         kadmin: ktremove -k /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kadmind.keytab kadmin/admin
         kadmin: Entry for principal kadmin/admin with kvno 3 removed
              from keytab WRFILE:/usr/local/var/krb5kdc/kadmind.keytab.
         kadmin:

Node:Clock Skew, Next:Getting DNS Information Correct, Previous:Keytabs, Up:Application Servers

### Clock Skew

In order to prevent intruders from resetting their system clocks in order to continue to use expired tickets, Kerberos V5 is set up to reject ticket requests from any host whose clock is not within the specified maximum clock skew of the KDC (as specified in the `kdc.conf` file). Similarly, hosts are configured to reject responses from any KDC whose clock is not within the specified maximum clock skew of the host (as specified in the `krb5.conf` file). The default value for maximum clock skew is 300 seconds, or five minutes. MIT suggests that you add a line to client machines' `/etc/rc` files to synchronize the machine's clock to your KDC at boot time. On UNIX hosts, assuming you had a kdc called `kerberos` in your realm, this would be:

         gettime -s kerberos

If the host is not likely to be rebooted frequently, you may also want to set up a cron job that adjusts the time on a regular basis.

Node:Getting DNS Information Correct, Next:Configuring Your Firewall to Work With Kerberos V5, Previous:Clock Skew, Up:Application Servers

### Getting DNS Information Correct

Several aspects of Kerberos rely on name service. In order for Kerberos to provide its high level of security, it is less forgiving of name service problems than some other parts of your network. It is important that your Domain Name System (DNS) entries and your hosts have the correct information.

Each host's canonical name must be the fully-qualified host name (including the domain), and each host's IP address must reverse-resolve to the canonical name.

Other than the `localhost` entry, make all entries in each machine's `/etc/hosts` file in the following form:

         IP address      fully-qualified hostname        aliases

Here is a sample `/etc/hosts` file:

         # this is a comment
         127.0.0.1       localhost localhost@mit.edu
         10.0.0.6       daffodil.mit.edu trillium wake-robin

Additionally, on Solaris machines, you need to be sure the "hosts" entry in the file
`/etc/nsswitch.conf` includes the source "dns" as well as "file".

Finally, each host's keytab file must include a host/key pair for the host's canonical name. You can list the keys in a keytab file by issuing the command `klist -k`. For example:

         viola# klist -k
         Keytab name: /etc/krb5.keytab
         KVNO Principal
         ---- ------------------------------------------------------------
            1 host/daffodil.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

If you telnet to the host with a fresh credentials cache (ticket file), and then `klist`, the host's service principal should be host/fully-qualified-hostname@REALM_NAME.

Node:Configuring Your Firewall to Work With Kerberos V5, Previous:Getting DNS Information Correct, Up:Application Servers

### Configuring Your Firewall to Work With Kerberos V5

If you need off-site users to be able to get Kerberos tickets in your realm, they must be able to get to your KDC. This requires either that you have a slave KDC outside your firewall, or you configure your firewall to allow UDP requests into at least one of your KDCs, on whichever port the KDC is running. (The default is port 88; other ports may be specified in the KDC's kdc.conf file.) Similarly, if you need off-site users to be able to change their passwords in your realm, they must be able to get to your Kerberos admin server. The default port for the admin server is 749.

If your on-site users inside your firewall will need to get to KDCs in other realms, you will also need to configure your firewall to allow outgoing TCP and UDP requests to port 88. Additionally, if they will need to get to any Kerberos V4 KDCs, you may also need to allow TCP and UDP requests to port 750. If your on-site users inside your firewall will need to get to Kerberos admin servers in other realms, you will also need to allow outgoing TCP and UDP requests to port 749.

If any of your KDCs are outside your firewall, you will need to allow `kprop` requests to get through to the remote KDC. `Kprop` uses the krb5_prop service on port 754 (tcp).

If you need your off-site users to have access to machines inside your firewall, you need to allow TCP connections from their off-site hosts on the appropriate ports for the programs they will be using. The following lines from `/etc/services` show the default port numbers for the Kerberos V5 programs:

         ftp           21/tcp           # Kerberos ftp and telnet use the
         telnet        23/tcp           # default ports
         kerberos      88/udp    kdc    # Kerberos V5 KDC
         kerberos      88/tcp    kdc    # Kerberos V5 KDC
         klogin        543/tcp          # Kerberos authenticated rlogin
         kshell        544/tcp   cmd    # and remote shell
         kerberos-adm  749/tcp          # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
         kerberos-adm  749/udp          # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
         krb5_prop     754/tcp          # Kerberos slave propagation
         eklogin       2105/tcp         # Kerberos auth. & encrypted rlogin

By default, Kerberos V5 `telnet` and `ftp` use the same ports as the standard `telnet` and `ftp` programs, so if you already allow telnet and ftp connections through your firewall, the Kerberos V5 versions will get through as well. If you do not already allow telnet and ftp connections through your firewall, but need your users to be able to use Kerberos V5 telnet and ftp, you can either allow ftp and telnet connections on the standard ports, or switch these programs to non-default port numbers and allow ftp and telnet connections on those ports to get through. Kerberos V5 `rlogin` uses the `klogin` service, which by default uses port 543. Encrypted Kerberos V5 rlogin uses the `eklogin` service, which by default uses port 2105. Kerberos V5 `rsh` uses the `kshell` service, which by default uses port 544. However, the server must be able to make a TCP connection from the kshell port to an arbitrary port on the client, so if your users are to be able to use `rsh` from outside your firewall, the server they connect to must be able to send outgoing packets to arbitrary port numbers. Similarly, if your users need to run `rsh` from inside your firewall to hosts outside your firewall, the outside server needs to be able to connect to an arbitrary port on the machine inside your firewall. Because Kerberos V5 `rcp` uses `rsh`, the same issues apply. If you need to use `rsh` (or `rcp`) through your firewall and are concerned with the security implications of allowing connections to arbitrary ports, MIT suggests that you have rules that specifically name these applications and, if possible, list the allowed hosts.

The book UNIX System Security, by David Curry, is a good starting point for learning to configure firewalls.

Node:Backups of Secure Hosts, Next:Bug Reporting, Previous:Application Servers, Up:Top

## Backups of Secure Hosts

When you back up a secure host, you should exclude the host's keytab file from the backup. If someone obtained a copy of the keytab from a backup, that person could make any host masquerade as the host whose keytab was compromised. This could be particularly dangerous if the compromised keytab was from one of your KDCs. If the machine has a disk crash and the keytab file is lost, it is easy to generate another keytab file. (See Adding Principals to Keytabs.) If you are unable to exclude particular files from backups, you should ensure that the backups are kept as secure as the host's root password.

Node:Backing Up the Kerberos Database, Previous:Backups of Secure Hosts, Up:Backups of Secure Hosts

### Backing Up the Kerberos Database

As with any file, it is possible that your Kerberos database could become corrupted. If this happens on one of the slave KDCs, you might never notice, since the next automatic propagation of the database would install a fresh copy. However, if it happens to the master KDC, the corrupted database would be propagated to all of the slaves during the next propagation. For this reason, MIT recommends that you back up your Kerberos database regularly. Because the master KDC is continuously dumping the database to a file in order to propagate it to the slave KDCs, it is a simple matter to have a cron job periodically copy the dump file to a secure machine elsewhere on your network. (Of course, it is important to make the host where these backups are stored as secure as your KDCs, and to encrypt its transmission across your network.) Then if your database becomes corrupted, you can load the most recent dump onto the master KDC. (See Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File.)

Node:Bug Reporting, Next:Appendix, Previous:Backups of Secure Hosts, Up:Top

## Bug Reporting

In any complex software, there will be bugs. If you have successfully built and installed Kerberos V5, please use the `krb5-send-pr` program to fill out a Problem Report should you encounter any errors in our software.

Bug reports that include proposed fixes are especially welcome. If you do include fixes, please send them using either context diffs or unified diffs (using `diff -c` or `diff -u`, respectively). Please be careful when using "cut and paste" or other such means to copy a patch into a bug report; depending on the system being used, that can result in converting TAB characters into spaces, which makes applying the patches more difficult.

The `krb5-send-pr` program is installed in the directory `/usr/local/sbin`.

The `krb5-send-pr` program enters the problem report into our Problem Report Management System (PRMS), which automatically assigns it to the engineer best able to help you with problems in the assigned category.

The `krb5-send-pr` program will try to intelligently fill in as many fields as it can. You need to choose the category, class, severity, and priority of the problem, as well as giving us as much information as you can about its exact nature.

The PR category will be one of:

         krb5-admin   krb5-appl    krb5-build   krb5-clients
         krb5-doc     krb5-kdc     krb5-libs    krb5-misc
         pty          telnet       test

Choose the category that best describes the area under which your problem falls.

The class can be sw-bug, doc-bug, change-request, or support. The first two are exactly as their names imply. Use change-request when the software is behaving according to specifications, but you want to request changes in some feature or behavior. The support class is intended for more general questions about building or using Kerberos V5.

The severity of the problem indicates the problem's impact on the usability of Kerberos V5. If a problem is critical, that means the product, component or concept is completely non-operational, or some essential functionality is missing, and no workaround is known. A serious problem is one in which the product, component or concept is not working properly or significant functionality is missing. Problems that would otherwise be considered critical are rated serious when a workaround is known. A non-critical problem is one that is indeed a problem, but one that is having a minimal effect on your ability to use Kerberos V5. E.g., The product, component or concept is working in general, but lacks features, has irritating behavior, does something wrong, or doesn't match its documentation. The default severity is serious.

The priority indicates how urgent this particular problem is in relation to your work. Note that low priority does not imply low importance. A priority of high means a solution is needed as soon as possible. A priority of medium means the problem should be solved no later than the next release. A priority of low means the problem should be solved in a future release, but it is not important to your work how soon this happens. The default priority is medium.

Note that a given severity does not necessarily imply a given priority. For example, a non-critical problem might still have a high priority if you are faced with a hard deadline. Conversely, a serious problem might have a low priority if the feature it is disabling is one that you do not need.

It is important that you fill in the release field and tell us what changes you have made, if any.
