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

@chapter 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 @i{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

@node Network Services and Their Client Programs, Kerberos Tickets, How Kerberos Works, How Kerberos Works
@section Network Services and Their Client Programs
In an environment that provides network services, you use @dfn{client}
programs to request @dfn{services} from @dfn{server} programs that are
somewhere on the network. Suppose you have logged in to a workstation
and you want to @samp{rlogin} to a typical UNIX host. You use the local
@samp{rlogin} client program to contact the remote machine's
@samp{rlogind} daemon.
@node Kerberos Tickets, The Kerberos Database, Network Services and Their Client Programs, How Kerberos Works
@section Kerberos Tickets
Under Kerberos, the @samp{klogind} daemon allows you to login to a
remote machine if you can provide @samp{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, Kerberos Realms, Kerberos Tickets, How Kerberos Works
@section The Kerberos Database
Kerberos will give you credentials only if you have an entry in the
Kerberos server's @dfn{Kerberos database}. Your database entry includes
your Kerberos @dfn{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, The Ticket-Granting Ticket, The Kerberos Database, How Kerberos Works
@section 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
@dfn{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 @dfn{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
@value{PRODUCT} Installation Guide.
@node The Ticket-Granting Ticket, Network Services and the Master Database, Kerberos Realms, How Kerberos Works
@section The Ticket-Granting Ticket
The @samp{kinit} command prompts for your password. If you enter it
successfully, you will obtain a @dfn{ticket-granting ticket} and a
@dfn{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
@dfn{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 @dfn{credentials cache}, which is often
just a file in @code{/tmp}. The credentials cache is also called the
@dfn{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, The User/Kerberos Interaction, The Ticket-Granting Ticket, How Kerberos Works
@section 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,
@samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, that requires Kerberos
authentication from anyone who wants to @samp{rlogin} to it. The host's
Kerberos realm is @samp{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}.
This service must be registered in the Kerberos database, using the
proper service name, which in this case is the @dfn{principal}:
@smallexample
host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end smallexample
@noindent
The @samp{/} character separates the Kerberos @dfn{primary} (in this
case, @samp{host}) from the @dfn{instance} (in this case,
@samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}); the @samp{@@} character separates
the realm name (in this case, @samp{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}) from the rest
of the principal. The primary, @samp{host}, denotes the name or type of
the service that is being offered: generic host-level access to the
machine. The instance, @samp{laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, 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.
@menu
* The Keytab File::
@end menu
@node The Keytab File, , Network Services and the Master Database, Network Services and the Master Database
@subsection The Keytab File
For each service, there must also be a @dfn{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 @dfn{key tables},
which are files known as @dfn{keytabs}.@footnote{Keytabs were called
@dfn{srvtabs} in Kerberos V4.} For example, the service keys used by
services that run as root are usually stored in the keytab file
@code{/etc/krb5.keytab}. @b{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, Definitions, Network Services and the Master Database, How Kerberos Works
@section The User/Kerberos Interaction
Suppose that you walk up to a host intending to login to it, and then
@samp{rlogin} to the machine @samp{laughter}. Here's what happens:
@enumerate
@item
You login to the workstation and use the @samp{kinit} command to get a
ticket-granting ticket. This command prompts you for your Kerberos
password. (On systems running the @value{PRODUCT} @samp{login} program,
this may be done as part of the login process, not requiring the user to
run a separate program.)
@enumerate A
@item
The @samp{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.
@item
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 @samp{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 @samp{KRB5CCNAME} environment variable. If this
variable is not set, the name of the file will be
@file{/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>}, where <uid> is your UNIX user-id, represented
in decimal format.
@end enumerate
@need 1500
@item
Now you use the @samp{rlogin} client to access the machine
@samp{laughter}.
@example
host% @b{rlogin laughter}
@end example
@enumerate A
@item
The @samp{rlogin} client checks your ticket file to see if you have a
ticket for the @samp{host} service for @samp{laughter}. You don't, so
@samp{rlogin} uses the credential cache's ticket-granting ticket to make
a request to the master server's ticket-granting service.
@item
This ticket-granting service receives the request for a ticket for
@samp{host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and looks in the master
database for an entry for @samp{host/laughter.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}.
If the entry exists, the ticket-granting service issues you a ticket for
that service. That ticket is also cached in your credentials cache.
@item
The @samp{rlogin} client now sends that ticket to the @samp{laughter}
@samp{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 @samp{laughter} (because your
username matches one in /etc/passwd, or your Kerberos principal is in
the appropriate @file{.k5login} file), @code{klogind} will let you
login.

@section 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.
@include support-enc.texinfo
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, krb5.conf, Supported Encryption Types, Configuration Files
@section 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.

@subsection [libdefaults]
The @code{libdefaults} section may contain any of the following
relations:
@table @b
@itemx default_keytab_name
This relation specifies the default keytab name to be used by
application servers such as telnetd and rlogind. The default is
@value{DefaultDefaultKeytabName}.
@itemx 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 @ref{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.
@itemx 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 @ref{Supported Encryption
Types} for a list of the accepted values for this tag). The default
value is @value{DefaultDefaultTgsEnctypes}.
@itemx 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
@emph{default_tgs_enctypes}. The default value for this tag is
@value{DefaultDefaultTktEnctypes}.
@itemx permitted_enctypes
Identifies all encryption types that are permitted for use in session
key encryption. The default value for this tag is
@value{DefaultPermittedEnctypes}.
@itemx 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 @value{DefaultClockskew}.
@itemx 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 @value{DefaultKDCTimesync}.
@itemx kdc_req_checksum_type
@itemx ap_req_checksum_type
@itemx 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 @value{DefaultChecksumType} used by this version of Kerberos.
The possible values and their meanings are as follows.

@end table
@comment see lib/krb5/ccache/fcc.h
@itemx 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 @value{DefaultCcacheType}.
@ignore
@itemx tkt_lifetime
The default lifetime of a ticket. The default is
@value{DefaultTktLifetime}. This is currently not supported by the
code.
@end ignore
@itemx krb4_srvtab
Specifies the location of the Kerberos V4 srvtab file. Default is
@value{DefaultKrb4Srvtab}.
@itemx krb4_config
Specifies the location of hte Kerberos V4 configuration file. Default
is @value{DefaultKrb4Config}.
@itemx krb4_realms
Specifies the location of the Kerberos V4 domain/realm translation
file. Default is @value{DefaultKrb4Realms}.
@itemx 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 @samp{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 @samp{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.
@itemx 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 @samp{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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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 @code{udp_preference_list}.
If the message is smaller than @code{udp_preference_list}, then UDP
will be tried before TCP. Regardless of the size, both protocols will
be tried if the first attempt fails.
@itemx 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 @value{DefaultVerifyApReqNofail}.
@itemx renew_lifetime
The value of this tag is the default renewable lifetime for
initial tickets. The default value for the tag is
@value{DefaultRenewLifetime}.
@itemx noaddresses
Setting this flag causes the initial Kerberos ticket to be addressless.
The default for the flag is @value{DefaultNoaddresses}.
@itemx forwardable
If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be forwardable.
The default value for this flag is @value{DefaultForwardable}.
@itemx proxiable
If this flag is set, initial tickets by default will be proxiable.
The default value for this flag is @value{DefaultProxiable}.
@end table
@node appdefaults, login, libdefaults, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@smallexample
@group
[appdefaults]
telnet = @{
@value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
option1 = false
@}
@}
telnet = @{
option1 = true
option2 = true
@}
@value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
option2 = false
@}
option2 = true
@end group
@end smallexample
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 @value{SECONDREALM}, it should, by default, have
option1 and option2 set to true. However, a telnet program in the realm
@value{PRIMARYREALM} should have option1 set to false and option2 set
to true. Any other programs in @value{PRIMARYREALM} 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.
A special application name (afs_krb5) is used by the krb524 service to
know whether new format AFS tokens based on Kerberos 5 can be used
rather than the older format which used a converted Kerberos 4 ticket.
The new format allows for cross-realm authentication without
introducing a security hole. It is used by default. Older AFS
servers (before OpenAFS 1.2.8) will not support the new format. If
servers in your cell do not support the new format, you will need to
add an @code{afs_krb5} relation to the @code{appdefaults} section.
The following config file shows how to disable new format AFS tickets
for the @code{afs.example.com} cell in the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} realm.
@smallexample
@group
[appdefaults]
afs_krb5 = @{
EXAMPLE.COM = @{
afs/afs.example.com = false
@}
@}
@end group
@end smallexample
@node login, realms (krb5.conf), appdefaults, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@table @b
@itemx krb5_get_tickets
Indicate whether or not to use a user's password to get V5 tickets.
The default value is @value{DefaultKrb5GetTickets}.
@itemx krb4_get_tickets
Indicate whether or not to user a user's password to get V4 tickets.
The default value is @value{DefaultKrb4GetTickets}.
@itemx krb4_convert
Indicate whether or not to use the Kerberos conversion daemon to get V4
tickets. The default value is @value{DefaultKrb4Convert}. If this is
set to false and krb4_get_tickets is true, then login will get the V5
tickets directly using the Kerberos V4 protocol directly. This does
not currently work with non-MIT-V4 salt types (such as the AFS3 salt
type). Note that if this is set to true and krb524d is not running,
login will hang for approximately a minute under Solaris, due to a
Solaris socket emulation bug.
@itemx krb_run_aklog
Indicate whether or not to run aklog. The default value is
@value{DefaultKrbRunAklog}.
@itemx aklog_path
Indicate where to find aklog. The default value is
@value{DefaultAklogPath}.
@itemx accept_passwd
A true value will cause login not to accept plaintext passwords. The
default value is @value{DefaultAcceptPasswd}. This is not yet
implemented.
@end table
@node realms (krb5.conf), domain_realm, login, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@table @b
@itemx kdc
The name of a host running a KDC for that realm. An optional port
number (separated from the hostname by a colon) may be included. 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 @ref{Using DNS}).
@itemx 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. (We don't
currently check whether the KDC from which the initial response came
is on the master KDC list. That may be fixed in the future.)
@itemx database_module
This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
@itemx 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.
@ignore
this doesn't seem to be used in the code
@itemx application defaults
Application defaults that are specific to a particular realm may be
specified within that realm's tag. Realm-specific application defaults
override the global defaults specified in the [appdefaults] section.
@end ignore
@itemx 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
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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:
@table @b
@item DB:@i{filename}
The principal will be looked up in the database @i{filename}. Support
for this is not currently compiled in by default.
@item RULE:@i{exp}
The local name will be formulated from @i{exp}.
The format for @i{exp} is
@code{[@i{n}:$@i{d}..@i{string}](@i{regexp})s/@i{pattern}/@i{replacement}/g}.
The integer @i{n} indicates how many components the target principal
should have. If this matches, then a string will be formed by putting
together the components of the principal in the order indicated by each
integer @i{d}, and the arbitrary string @i{string} (i.e. if the
principal was @value{RANDOMUSER}/admin then [2:$2$1foo] would result in
the string "admin@value{RANDOMUSER}foo". If this string matches
@i{regexp}, then the @code{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.
@item 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.
@end table
For example:
@smallexample
@group
[realms]
@value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{
auth_to_local = @{
RULE:[2:$1](@value{RANDOMUSER})s/^.*$/guest/
RULE:[2:$1;$2](^.*;admin$)s/;admin$//
RULE:[2:$2](^.*;root)s/^.*$/root/
DEFAULT
@}
@}
@end group
@end smallexample
would result in any principal without @code{root} or @code{admin} as
the second component to be translated with the default rule. A
principal with a second component of @code{admin} will become its first
component. @code{root} will be used as the local name for any
principal with a second component of @code{root}. The exception to
these two rules are any principals @value{RANDOMUSER}/*, which will
always get the local name @code{guest}.
@end table
@node domain_realm, logging, realms (krb5.conf), krb5.conf
@subsection [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
(@samp{.}). 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:
@smallexample
@group
[domain_realm]
@ifset MIT
.mit.edu = ATHENA.MIT.EDU
@end ifset
@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} = @value{PRIMARYREALM}
crash.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} = TEST.@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@value{SECONDDOMAIN} = @value{SECONDREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
maps crash.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} into the TEST.@value{PRIMARYREALM}
realm. All other hosts in the @value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} domain will map by
default to the @value{PRIMARYREALM} realm, and all hosts in the
@value{SECONDDOMAIN} domain will map by default into the
@value{SECONDREALM} realm. Note the entries for the hosts
@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} and @value{SECONDDOMAIN}. Without these entries,
@ifset CYGNUS
these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms @samp{COM} and
@end ifset
@ifclear CYGNUS
these hosts would be mapped into the Kerberos realms @samp{EDU} and
@end ifclear
@samp{ORG}, respectively.
@node logging, capaths, domain_realm, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@table @b
@itemx kdc
These entries specify how the KDC is to perform its logging.
@itemx admin_server
These entries specify how the administrative server
is to perform its logging.
@itemx default
These entries specify how to perform logging in the
absence of explicit specifications otherwise.
@end table
Values are of the following forms:
@table @b
@itemx FILE=<filename>
@itemx FILE:<filename>
This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified
file. If the @samp{=} form is used, the file is overwritten. If the
@samp{:} form is used, the file is appended to.
@itemx STDERR
This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to its standard
error stream.
@itemx CONSOLE
This value causes the entity's logging messages to go to the console, if
the system supports it.
@itemx DEVICE=<devicename>
This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the specified device.
@itemx SYSLOG[:<severity>[:<facility>]]
This causes the entity's logging messages to go to the system log.
The @dfn{severity} argument specifies the default severity of system log
messages. This may be any of the following severities supported by the
@code{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 @samp{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.
@end table
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.
@smallexample
@group
[logging]
kdc = CONSOLE
kdc = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
admin_server = FILE:/var/adm/kadmin.log
admin_server = DEVICE=/dev/tty04
@end group
@end smallexample
@node capaths, dbdefaults, logging, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@smallexample
@group
[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 = .
@}
@end group
@end smallexample
The [capaths] section of the configuration file used on NERSC.GOV systems
would look like this:
@smallexample
@group
[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
@}
@end group
@end smallexample
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, dbmodules, capaths, krb5.conf
@subsection [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.(@pxref{dbmodules}).
The following tags are used in this section:
@table @b
@itemx database_module
This relation indicates the name of the configuration section under the [dbmodules] for database specific parameters used by the loadable database library.

@itemx 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].
@itemx 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].
@itemx ldap_service_password_file
This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords 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].
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@end table
@node dbmodules, Sample krb5.conf File, dbdefaults, krb5.conf
@subsection [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:
@table @b
@itemx db_library
This tag indicates the name of the loadable database library. The value should be @samp{db2} for DB2 database and @samp{kldap} for LDAP database.
@itemx ldap_kerberos_container_dn
This LDAP specific tag indicates the DN of the container object where the realm objects will be located.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx ldap_service_password_file
This LDAP specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords for the objects used by the Kerberos servers to bind to the LDAP server. This file must be kept secure.
@itemx 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.
@itemx ldap_conns_per_server

@subsection [kdcdefaults]
The following relation is defined in the [kdcdefaults] section:
@table @b
@itemx 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
@value{DefaultKdcPorts}, the first being the assigned Kerberos port
and the second which was used by Kerberos V4.
@itemx 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.
@itemx v4_mode
This string specifies how the KDC should respond to Kerberos 4
packets. The possible values are none, disable, full, and nopreauth.
The default value is @value{DefaultV4Mode}.

@end table
@node realms (kdc.conf), Sample kdc.conf File, kdcdefaults, kdc.conf
@subsection [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:
@table @b
@itemx 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 @code{@value{DefaultAclFile}}.
@itemx admin_keytab
(String.) Location of the keytab file that the legacy administration
daemons @code{kadmind4} and @code{v5passwdd} use to authenticate to
the database. The default is @code{@value{DefaultAdminKeytab}}.
@itemx database_name
(String.) Location of the Kerberos database for this realm. The
default is @* @code{@value{DefaultDatabaseName}}.
@itemx default_principal_expiration
(Absolute time string.) Specifies the default expiration date of
principals created in this realm. The default value for this tag is
@value{DefaultDefaultPrincipalExpiration}.
@itemx 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
@value{DefaultDefaultPrincipalFlags}.
There are a number of possible flags:
@table @b
@itemx postdateable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain postdateable tickets.
@itemx forwardable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain forwardable tickets.
@itemx 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.
@itemx renewable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renewable tickets.
@itemx proxiable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain proxy tickets.
@itemx dup-skey
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain a session key for
another user, permitting user-to-user authentication for this principal.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx hwauth
If this flag is enabled, then the principal is required to
preauthenticate using a hardware device before receiving any tickets.
@itemx pwchange
Enabling this flag forces a password change for this principal.
@itemx service
Enabling this flag allows the the KDC to issue service tickets for this
principal.
@itemx 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.
@end table
@itemx 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.
@itemx kadmind_port
(Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kadmind daemon is to
listen for this realm. The assigned port for kadmind is
@value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
@itemx kpasswd_port
(Port number.) Specifies the port on which the kpasswd daemon is to
listen for this realm. The default is @value{DefaultKpasswdPort}.
@itemx key_stash_file
(String.) Specifies the location where the master key has been stored
(via @code{kdb5_util stash}). The default is
@code{@value{DefaultKeyStashFileStub}@i{REALM}}, where @i{REALM} is the
Kerberos realm.
@itemx 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.
@itemx 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.
@itemx master_key_name
(String.) Specifies the name of the principal associated with the
master key. The default is @value{DefaultMasterKeyName}.
@itemx master_key_type
(Key type string.) Specifies the master key's key type. The default
value for this is @value{DefaultMasterKeyType}. For a list of all
possible values, see @ref{Supported Encryption Types}.
@itemx max_life
(Delta time string.) Specifes the maximum time period for which a
ticket may be valid in this realm. The default value is
@value{DefaultMaxLife}.
@itemx 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
@value{DefaultMaxRenewableLife}.
@itemx supported_enctypes
List of key:salt strings. Specifies the default key/salt combinations of
principals for this realm. Any principals created through @code{kadmin}
will have keys of these types. The default value for this tag is
@value{DefaultSupportedEnctypes}. For lists of possible values, see
@ref{Supported Encryption Types} and @ref{Salts}.
@itemx reject_bad_transit
A boolean value (@code{true}, @code{false}). If set to @code{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
@code{capaths} section of its @code{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 @code{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 @code{disable-transited-check} flag is set in the incoming
request, this check is not performed at all. Having the
@code{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 @code{true}.

@chapter 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 @code{kdb5_util} program
to manipulate the Kerberos database as a whole, and the @code{kadmin}
program to make changes to the entries in the database. (One notable
exception is that users will use the @code{kpasswd} program to change
their own passwords.) The @code{kadmin} program has its own
command-line interface, to which you type the database administrating
commands.
@code{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 @code{kadmind} and @code{krb5kdc} daemons at boot time.
@code{Kadmin} provides for the maintenance of Kerberos principals, KADM5
policies, and service key tables (keytabs). It exists as both a
Kerberos client, @code{kadmin}, using Kerberos authentication and an
RPC, to operate securely from anywhere on the network, and as a local
client, @code{kadmin.local}, intended to run directly on the KDC without
Kerberos authentication. @code{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 @code{kdb5_edit} (except for
database dump and load, which are provided by @code{kdb5_util}).
The remote version authenticates to the KADM5 server using the service
principal @code{kadmin/admin}. If the credentials cache contains a
ticket for the @code{kadmin/admin} principal, and the @samp{-c ccache}
option is specified, that ticket is used to authenticate to KADM5.
Otherwise, the @samp{-p} and @samp{-k} options are used to specify the
client Kerberos principal name used to authenticate. Once kadmin has
determined the principal name, it requests a @code{kadmin/admin}
Kerberos service ticket from the KDC, and uses that service ticket to
authenticate to KADM5.

@section Kadmin Options
You can invoke @code{kadmin} or @code{kadmin.local} with any of the
following options:
@table @b
@item @b{-r} @i{REALM}
Use @i{REALM} as the default Kerberos realm for the database.
@item @b{-p} @i{principal}
Use the Kerberos principal @i{principal} to authenticate to Kerberos.
If this option is not given, @code{kadmin} will append @code{admin} to
either the primary principal name, the environment variable USER, or to
the username obtained from @code{getpwuid}, in order of preference.
@item @b{-q} @i{query}
Pass @i{query} directly to @code{kadmin}. This is useful for writing
scripts that pass specific queries to @code{kadmin}.
@noindent
You can invoke @code{kadmin} with any of the following options:
@item @b{-k} [@b{-t} @i{keytab}]
Use the keytab @i{keytab} to decrypt the KDC response instead of
prompting for a password on the TTY. In this case, the principal will
be @samp{host/@i{hostname}}. If @b{-t} is not used to specify a keytab,
then the default keytab will be used.
@item @b{-c} @i{credentials cache}
Use @i{credentials_cache} as the credentials cache. The credentials
cache should contain a service ticket for the @code{kadmin/admin}
service, which can be acquired with the @code{kinit} program. If this
option is not specified, @code{kadmin} requests a new service ticket
from the KDC, and stores it in its own temporary ccache.
@item @b{-w} @i{password}
Use @i{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.
@item @b{-x} @i{db_args}
Specifies the database specific arguments.
@item @b{-x} @i{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.
@item @b{-x} @i{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.
@item @b{-x} @i{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.
@item @b{-s} @i{admin_server[:port]}
Specifies the admin server that kadmin should contact.
@noindent
You can invoke @code{kadmin.local} with an of the follwing options:
@item @b{-d_ @i{dbname}}
Specifies the name of the Kerberos database.
@item @b{-e} @i{"enctypes ..."}
Sets the list of cryptosystem and salt types to be used for any new
keys created. See @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and @ref{Salts} for
available types.
@item @b{-m}
Do not authenticate using a keytab. This option will cause kadmin to
prompt for the master database password.

@subsubsection Retrieving a List of Principals
To generate a listing of principals, use the @code{kadmin}
@code{list_principals} command, which requires the ``list'' privilege.
The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{list_principals} [@i{expression}]

@noindent where @i{expression} is a shell-style glob expression that
can contain the characters @samp{*}, @samp{?}, @samp{[}, and @samp{]}.
All policy names matching the expression are displayed. The
@code{list_principals} command has the aliases @code{listprincs},
@code{get_principals}, and @code{getprincs}. For example:
@smallexample
@group

@include kadm5acl.texinfo
@node Adding or Modifying Principals, Deleting Principals, Privileges, Principals
@subsection Adding or Modifying Principals
To add a principal to the database, use the kadmin @code{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:
@smallexample
@b{kadmin:} add_principal [@i{options}] @i{principal}
@end smallexample
To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin
@code{modify_principal} command, which requires the ``modify''
administrative privilege. The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{kadmin:} modify_principal [@i{options}] @i{principal}
@end smallexample
@noindent
@code{add_principal} has the aliases @code{addprinc} and
@code{ank}@footnote{@code{ank} was the short form of the equivalent
command using the deprecated @code{kadmin5} database administrative tool.
It has been kept}. @code{modify_principal} has the alias @code{modprinc}.
The @code{add_principal} and @code{modify_principal} commands take the
following switches:
@table @b
@item @b{-x} @i{db_princ_args}
Denotes the database specific options.
@noindent
The options for LDAP database are:
@table @b
@item @b{-x} @i{dn=<dn>}
Specifies the LDAP object that will contain the Kerberos principal being created.
@item @b{-x} @i{linkdn=<dn>}
Specifies the LDAP object to which the newly created Kerberos principal object will point to.
@item @b{-x} @i{containerdn=<container_dn>}
Specifies the container object under which the Kerberos principal is to be created.
@item @b{-x} @i{tktpolicy=<policy>}
Associates a ticket policy to the Kerberos principal. Specifying an empty string
value clears the ticket policy associated with the principal.
@noindent
Note:
@noindent
* dn and containerdn options are not valid while modifying the principal.
@noindent
* containerdn and linkdn options cannot be specified with dn option.
@noindent
* 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.
@end table
@item -expire @i{date}
Sets the expiration date of the principal to @i{date}.
@item -pwexpire @i{date}
Sets the expiration date of the password to @i{date}.
@item -maxlife @i{maxlife}
Sets the maximum ticket life of the principal to @i{maxlife}.
@item -maxrenewlife @i{maxrenewlife}
Sets the maximum renewable life of tickets for the principal to
@i{maxrenewlife}.
@item -kvno @i{number}
Explicity sets the key version number to @i{number}. @value{COMPANY}
does not recommend doing this unless there is a specific reason.
@item -policy @i{policy}
Sets the policy used by this principal. (@xref{Policies}.) With
@code{modify_principal}, the current policy assigned to the principal is
set or changed. With @code{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, @code{kadmin} will print a warning message.
@item -clearpolicy
For @code{modify_principal}, removes the current policy from a
principal. For @code{add_principal}, suppresses the automatic
assignment of the policy ``default''.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item @{-|+@}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.
@item -randkey
Sets the key for the principal to a random value (@code{add_principal}
only). @value{COMPANY} recommends using this option for host keys.
@item -pw @i{password}
Sets the key of the principal to the specified string and does not
prompt for a password (@code{add_principal} only). @value{COMPANY} does
not recommend using this option.
@item -e @i{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 @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and

Sets the key of the principal to a random value.
@item @b{-pw} @i{password}
Sets the password to the string @i{password}. @value{COMPANY} does not
recommend using this option.
@item @b{-e} @i{"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 @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and
@ref{Salts} for possible values.
@item @b{-keepold}
Keeps the previous kvno's keys around. There is no easy way to delete

@subsection Adding or Modifying Policies
To add a new policy, use the kadmin @code{add_policy} command, which
requires the ``add'' administrative privilege. The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{add_policy} [@i{options}] @i{policy_name}
@end smallexample
To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin @code{modify_policy}
command, which requires the ``modify'' administrative privilege. The
syntax is:

@b{modify_policy} [@i{options}] @i{policy_name}
@end smallexample
@noindent @code{add_policy} has the alias @code{addpol}.
@code{modify_poilcy} has the alias @code{modpol}.
The @code{add_policy} and @code{modify_policy} commands take the
following switches:
@table @b
@item -maxlife @i{time}
Sets the maximum lifetime of a password to @i{time}.
@item -minlife @i{time}
Sets the minimum lifetime of a password to @i{time}.
@item -minlength @i{length}
Sets the minimum length of a password to @i{length} characters.
@item -minclasses @i{number}
Requires at least @i{number} of character classes in a password.
@item -history @i{number}
Sets the number of past keys kept for a principal to @i{number}. This option is not supported for LDAP database.

Note: The policies are created under realm container in the LDAP database.
@node Deleting Policies, , Adding or Modifying Policies, Policies
@subsection Deleting Policies
To delete a policy, use the @code{kadmin} @code{delete_policy} command,
which requires the ``delete'' administrative privilege. The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{delete_policy [-force]} @i{policy_name}
@end smallexample
@noindent The @code{delete_policy} command has the alias @code{delpol}.
It prompts for confirmation before deletion.
For example:

@b{kadmin:} delete_policy guests
@b{Are you sure you want to delete the policy "guests"?
(yes/no):} yes
@b{kadmin:}
@end group

specifies the key type of the master key in the database.
@itemx -M @i{master_key_name}
specifies the principal name of the master key in the database.
@itemx -m
indicates that the master database password should be read from the TTY
rather than fetched from a file on disk.

@itemx -P @i{password}
specifies the master database password. @value{COMPANY} does not

@node Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File, Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File, Global Operations on the Kerberos Database, Global Operations on the Kerberos Database
@subsection Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File
To dump a Kerberos database into a file, use the @code{kdb5_util}
@code{dump} command on one of the KDCs. The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{kdb5_util dump} [@b{-old}] [@b{-b6}] [@b{-b7}] [@b{-ov}]
[@b{-verbose}] [-mkey_convert] [-new_mkey_file] [@i{filename}
[@i{principals...}]]
@end smallexample
The @code{kdb5_util dump} command takes the following options:
@table @b
@itemx -old
causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 5 and earlier dump format
(``kdb5_edit load_dump version 2.0'').
@itemx -b6
causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 6 format (``kdb5_edit
load_dump version 3.0'').
@itemx -b7
causes the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 7 format (``kdbt_edit
load_dump version 4'').
@itemx -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.
@itemx -verbose
causes the name of each principal and policy to be printed as it is
dumped.
@itemx -mkey_convert
prompts for a new master password, and then dumps the database with
all keys reencrypted in this new master key
@itemx -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
@end table
For example:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util dump dumpfile
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kbd5_util dump -verbose dumpfile
@b{kadmin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
kadmin/history@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
K/M@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
kadmin/changepw@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
If you specify which principals to dump, you must use the full
principal, as in the following example. (The line beginning with
@result{} is a continuation of the previous line.):
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile K/M@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@result{} kadmin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{kadmin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
K/M@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
Otherwise, the principals will not match those in the database and will
not be dumped:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile K/M kadmin/admin
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
If you do not specify a dump file, @code{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, Creating a Stash File, Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File, Global Operations on the Kerberos Database
@subsection Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File
To restore a Kerberos database dump from a file, use the
@code{kdb5_util} @code{load} command on one of the KDCs. The syntax
is:
@smallexample
@b{kdb5_util load} [@b{-old}] [@b{-b6}] [@b{-b7}] [@b{-ov}] [@b{-verbose}]
[@b{-update}] [@b{-hash}] @i{dumpfilename} @i{dbname} [@i{admin_dbname}]
@end smallexample
The @code{kdb5_util load} command takes the following options:
@table @b
@itemx -old
requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 5 and earlier dump format
(``kdb5_edit load_dump version 2.0'').
@itemx -b6
requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 6 format (``kdb5_edit
load_dump version 3.0'').
@itemx -b7
requires the dump to be in the Kerberos 5 Beta 7 format (``kdb5_edit
load_dump version 4'').
@itemx -ov
requires the dump to be in ovsec_adm_export format.
@itemx -verbose
causes the name of each principal and policy to be printed as it is
loaded.
@itemx -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.
@itemx -hash
causes the database to be stored as a hash rather than a binary tree.
@end table
For example:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util load dumpfile principal
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util load -update dumpfile principal
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
If the database file exists, and the @b{-update} flag was not given,
@code{kdb5_util} will overwrite the existing database.

@node Cross-realm Authentication, Changing the krbtgt Key, Global Operations on the Kerberos LDAP Database, Administrating the Kerberos Database
@section 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
@value{PRIMARYREALM} and @value{SECONDREALM} wanted to authenticate
across the realms, they would run the following commands on the KDCs in
@i{both} realms:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%:} kadmin.local -e "des3-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-crc:v4"
@b{kadmin:} add_princ -requires_preauth krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}
@b{Enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}:}
@b{Re-enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{SECONDREALM}:}
@b{kadmin:} add_princ -requires_preauth krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{Enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}
@b{Enter password for principal krbtgt/@value{SECONDREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:}
@b{kadmin:}
@end group
@end smallexample
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.
@value{COMPANY} recommends that TGT principal passwords be at least 26
characters of random ASCII text.
@node Changing the krbtgt Key, , Cross-realm Authentication, Administrating the Kerberos Database
@section Changing the krbtgt Key
A Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) is a service ticket for the
principal krbtgt/@i{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 @code{kadmin change_password} command
would invalidate any previously issued TGTs. Therefore, when changing
this key, normally one should use the @b{-keepold} flag to
@code{change_password} to retain the previous key in the database as
well as the new key. For example:
@smallexample
@group
@b{kadmin:} change_password -randkey -keepold krbtgt/@value{PRIMARYREALM}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample
There is currently no way to remove the old key without running
@code{change_password} without the @b{-keepold} flag (and thereby
invalidating all existing TGTs). 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, it's
therefore currently necessary to declare a flag day, run
@code{change_password} without the @b{-keepold} flag, and force all
users to acquire new tickets.

@section Keytabs
A @dfn{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 @code{kadmin} command to extract a
keytab on the host on which the keytab is to reside.

@end menu
@node Adding Principals to Keytabs, Removing Principals from Keytabs, Keytabs, Keytabs
@subsection Adding Principals to Keytabs
To generate a keytab, or to add a principal to an existing keytab, use
the @code{ktadd} command from @code{kadmin}, which requires the
``inquire'' administrative privilege. (If you use the @b{-glob}
@i{princ_exp} option, it also requires the ``list'' administrative
privilege.) The syntax is:
@smallexample
@b{ktadd} [@b{-k[eytab]} @i{keytab}] [@b{-q}] [@b{-e}
@i{key:salt_list}] [@i{principal} | @b{-glob} @i{princ_exp}]
[@i{@dots{}}]
@end smallexample
The @code{ktadd} command takes the following switches:
@table @b
@item -k[eytab] @i{keytab}
use @i{keytab} as the keytab file. Otherwise, @code{ktadd} will use the
default keytab file (@code{@value{DefaultDefaultKeytabName}}).
@item @b{-e} @i{"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 @ref{Supported Encryption Types} and
@ref{Salts} for all possible values.
@item -q
run in quiet mode. This causes @code{ktadd} to display less verbose
information.
@item @i{principal} | -glob @i{principal expression}
add @i{principal}, or all principals matching @i{principal expression}
to the keytab. The rules for @i{principal expression} are the same as
for the kadmin @code{list_principals} (@pxref{Retrieving a List of
Principals}) command.
@end table
Here is a sample session, using configuration files that enable only
@samp{des-cbc-crc} encryption. (The line beginning with @result{} is a

@node Removing Principals from Keytabs, , Adding Principals to Keytabs, Keytabs
@subsection Removing Principals from Keytabs
To remove a principal from an existing keytab, use the kadmin

@smallexample
@b{ktremove} [@b{-k[eytab]} @i{keytab}] [@b{-q}] @i{principal} [@i{kvno} | @b{all} | @b{old}]
@end smallexample
The @code{ktremove} command takes the following switches:
@table @b
@item -k[eytab] @i{keytab}
use @i{keytab} as the keytab file. Otherwise, @code{ktremove} will use
the default keytab file (@code{/etc/krb5.keytab}).
@item -q
run in quiet mode. This causes @code{ktremove} to display less verbose
information.
@item @i{principal}
the principal to remove from the keytab. (Required.)
@item @i{kvno}
remove all entries for the specified principal whose Key Version Numbers
match @i{kvno}.
@item all
remove all entries for the specified principal
@item old
remove all entries for the specified principal except those with the
highest kvno.

@node Clock Skew, Getting DNS Information Correct, Keytabs, Application Servers
@section Clock Skew
In order to prevent intruders from resetting their system clocks in
order to continue to use expired tickets, @value{PRODUCT} 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
@code{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 @code{krb5.conf} file). The
default value for maximum clock skew is @value{DefaultClockskew}.
@value{COMPANY} suggests that you add a line to client machines'
@code{/etc/rc} files to synchronize the machine's clock to your KDC at
boot time. On UNIX hosts, assuming you had a kdc called
@code{@value{KDCSERVER}} in your realm, this would be:
@smallexample
gettime -s @value{KDCSERVER}
@end smallexample
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, Configuring Your Firewall to Work With Kerberos V5, Clock Skew, Application Servers
@section 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 @code{localhost} entry, make all entries in each
machine's @code{/etc/hosts} file in the following form:
@smallexample
IP address fully-qualified hostname aliases
@end smallexample
Here is a sample @code{/etc/hosts} file:
@smallexample
@group
# this is a comment
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost@@@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@value{RANDOMHOST1IP} @value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} trillium wake-robin
@end group
@end smallexample
Additionally, on Solaris machines, you need to be sure the ``hosts''
entry in the file @* @code{/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 @code{klist -k}. For example:
@smallexample
@group
viola# klist -k
Keytab name: /etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal
---- ------------------------------------------------------------
1 host/@value{RANDOMHOST1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample
If you telnet to the host with a fresh credentials cache (ticket file),
and then @code{klist}, the host's service principal should be
@i{host/fully-qualified-hostname@@REALM_NAME}.
@node Configuring Your Firewall to Work With Kerberos V5, , Getting DNS Information Correct, Application Servers
@section Configuring Your Firewall to Work With @value{PRODUCT}
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
@value{DefaultPort}; 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
@value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
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 @value{DefaultPort}.
Additionally, if they will need to get to any Kerberos V4 KDCs, you may
also need to allow TCP and UDP requests to port
@value{DefaultSecondPort}. 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
@value{DefaultKadmindPort}.
If any of your KDCs are outside your firewall, you will need to allow
@code{kprop} requests to get through to the remote KDC. @code{Kprop}
uses the krb5_prop service on port @value{DefaultKrbPropPort} (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 @code{/etc/services} show the default port numbers
for the @value{PRODUCT} programs:
@smallexample
@group
ftp @value{DefaultFTPPort}/tcp # Kerberos ftp and telnet use the
telnet @value{DefaultTelnetPort}/tcp # default ports
kerberos @value{DefaultPort}/udp kdc # Kerberos V5 KDC
kerberos @value{DefaultPort}/tcp kdc # Kerberos V5 KDC
klogin @value{DefaultKloginPort}/tcp # Kerberos authenticated rlogin
kshell @value{DefaultKshellPort}/tcp cmd # and remote shell
kerberos-adm @value{DefaultKadmindPort}/tcp # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
kerberos-adm @value{DefaultKadmindPort}/udp # Kerberos 5 admin/changepw
krb5_prop @value{DefaultKrbPropPort}/tcp # Kerberos slave propagation
@c kpop 1109/tcp # Pop with Kerberos
eklogin @value{DefaultEkloginPort}/tcp # Kerberos auth. & encrypted rlogin
krb524 @value{DefaultKrb524Port}/tcp # Kerberos 5 to 4 ticket translator
@end group
@end smallexample
By default, @value{PRODUCT} @code{telnet} and @code{ftp} use the same
ports as the standard @code{telnet} and @code{ftp} programs, so if you
already allow telnet and ftp connections through your firewall, the
@value{PRODUCT} 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 @value{PRODUCT} 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.
@value{PRODUCT} @code{rlogin} uses the @code{klogin} service, which by
default uses port @value{DefaultKloginPort}. Encrypted @value{PRODUCT}
rlogin uses the @code{eklogin} service, which by default uses port
@value{DefaultEkloginPort}.
@value{PRODUCT} @code{rsh} uses the @code{kshell} service, which by
default uses port @value{DefaultKshellPort}. 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 @code{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 @code{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
@value{PRODUCT} @code{rcp} uses @code{rsh}, the same issues apply. If
you need to use @code{rsh} (or @code{rcp}) through your firewall and
are concerned with the security implications of allowing connections to
arbitrary ports, @value{COMPANY} suggests that you have rules that
specifically name these applications and, if possible, list the allowed
hosts.
The book @cite{UNIX System Security}, by David Curry, is a good
starting point for learning to configure firewalls.

@chapter 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. (@xref{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.

@section 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, @value{COMPANY} 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. (@xref{Restoring a Kerberos
Database from a Dump File}.)
