@section What is Kerberos and How Does it Work?
@value{PRODUCT} is based on the Kerberos authentication system developed
at MIT. Under Kerberos, a client (generally either a user or a service)
sends a request for a ticket to the Key Distribution Center (KDC). The
KDC creates a @dfn{ticket-granting ticket} (TGT) for the client,
encrypts it using the client's password as the key, and sends the
encrypted TGT back to the client. The client then attempts to decrypt
the TGT, using its password. If the client successfully decrypts the
TGT (@i{i.e.}, if the client gave the correct password), it keeps the
decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's identity.
The TGT, which expires at a specified time, permits the client to obtain
additional tickets, which give permission for specific services. The
requesting and granting of these additional tickets is user-transparent.
@node Why Should I use Kerberos?, Please Read the Documentation, What is Kerberos and How Does it Work?, Introduction
@section Why Should I use Kerberos?
Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted,
communications between two points anywhere on the Internet, it provides
a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a firewall
either client is on. Since studies have shown that half of the computer
security breaches in industry happen from @i{inside} firewalls,
@value{PRODUCT} from @value{COMPANY} will play a vital role in the
security of your network.

Before installing @value{PRODUCT}, it is necessary to consider the
following issues:
@itemize @bullet
@item
The name of your Kerberos realm (or the name of each realm, if you need
more than one).
@item
How you will map your hostnames onto Kerberos realms.
@item
Which ports your KDC and and kadmin (database access) services will use.
@item
How many slave KDCs you need and where they should be located.
@item
The hostnames of your master and slave KDCs.
@item
How frequently you will propagate the database from the master KDC to
the slave KDCs.
@item
Whether you need backward compatibility with Kerberos V4.

@node Kerberos Realms, Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Kerberos Realms
Although your Kerberos realm can be any ASCII string, convention is to
make it the same as your domain name, in upper-case letters. For
example, hosts in the domain @value{SECONDDOMAIN} would be in the
Kerberos realm @value{SECONDREALM}.
If you need multiple Kerberos realms, @value{COMPANY} recommends that
you use descriptive names which end with your domain name, such as
BOSTON.@value{SECONDREALM} and HOUSTON.@value{SECONDREALM}.
@node Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms
Mapping hostnames onto Kerberos realms is done through a set of rules in
the @code{krb5.conf} configuration file. (@xref{krb5.conf}.) You can
specify mappings for an entire domain or subdomain, and/or on a
hostname-by-hostname basis. Since greater specificity takes precedence,
you would do this by specifying the mappings for a given domain or
subdomain and listing the exceptions.
The @value{PRODUCT} System Administrator's Guide contains a thorough
description of the parts of the @code{krb5.conf} file and what may be
specified in each. A sample @code{krb5.conf} file appears in
@ref{krb5.conf}. You should be able to use this file, substituting the
relevant information for your Kerberos instllation for the samples.
@node Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Slave KDCs, Mapping Hostnames onto Kerberos Realms, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Ports for the KDC and Admin Services
The default ports used by Kerberos are port 88 for the
KDC@footnote{Kerberos V4 used port 750. If necessary, you can run on
both ports for backward compatibility.} and port 749 for the admin
server. You can, however, choose to run on other ports, as long as they
are specified in each host's @code{/etc/services} and @code{krb5.conf}
files, and the @code{kdc.conf} file on each KDC. For a more thorough
treatment of port numbers used by the @value{PRODUCT} programs, refer to
the ``Configuring Your Firewall to Work With @value{PRODUCT}'' section
of the @cite{@value{PRODUCT} System Administrator's Guide}.
@node Slave KDCs, Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Ports for the KDC and Admin Services, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Slave KDCs
Slave KDCs provide an additional source of Kerberos ticket-granting
services in the event of inaccessibility of the master KDC. The number
of slave KDCs you need and the decision of where to place them, both
physically and logically, depends on the specifics of your network.
All of the Kerberos authentication on your network requires that each
client be able to contact a KDC. Therefore, you need to anticipate any
likely reason a KDC might be unavailable and have a slave KDC to take up
the slack.
Some considerations include:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Have at least one slave KDC as a backup, for when the master KDC is
down, is being upgraded, or is otherwise unavailable.
@item
If your network is split such that a network outage is likely to cause a
network partition (some segment or segments of the network to become cut
off or isolated from other segments), have a slave KDC accessible to
each segment.
@item
If possible, have at least one slave KDC in a different building from
the master, in case of power outages, fires, or other localized
disasters.
@end itemize
@node Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Database Propagation, Slave KDCs, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs
@value{COMPANY} recommends that your KDCs have a predefined set of
CNAMEs, such as @code{@value{KDCSERVER}} for the master KDC and
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE1}}, @code{@value{KDCSLAVE2}}, @dots{} for the
slave KDCs. This way, if you need to swap a machine, you only need to
change a DNS entry, rather than having to change hostnames.
@node Database Propagation, , Hostnames for the Master and Slave KDCs, Realm Configuration Decisions
@section Database Propagation
The Kerberos database resides on the master KDC, and must be propagated
regularly (usually by a cron job) to the slave KDCs. In deciding how
frequently the propagation should happen, you will need to balance the
amount of time the propagation takes against the maximum reasonable
amount of time a user should have to wait for a password change to take
effect.
If the propagation time is longer than this maximum reasonable time
(@i{e.g.,} you have a particularly large database, you have a lot of
slaves, or you experience frequent network delays), you may wish to
cut down on your propagation delay by performing the propagation in
parallel. To do this, have the master KDC propagate the database to one
set of slaves, and then have each of these slaves propagate the database
to additional slaves.

@node Installing KDCs, Installing and Configuring UNIX Client Machines, Installing Kerberos V5, Installing Kerberos V5
@section Installing KDCs
The Key Distribution Centers (KDCs) issue Kerberos tickets. Each KDC
contains a copy of the Kerberos database. The master KDC contains the
master copy of the database, which it propagates to the slave KDCs at
regular intervals. All database changes (such as password changes) are
made on the master KDC.
Slave KDCs provide Kerberos ticket-granting services, but not database
administration. This allows clients to continue to obtain tickets when
the master KDC is unavailable.
@value{COMPANY} recommends that you install all of your KDCs to be able
to function as either the master or one of the slaves. This will enable
you to easily switch your master KDC with one of the slaves if
necessary. (@xref{Switching Master and Slave KDCs}.) This installation
procedure is based on that recommendation.

@subsubsection Edit the Configuration Files
Modify the configuration files, @code{/etc/krb5.conf}
(@pxref{krb5.conf}) and @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kdc.conf}
(@pxref{kdc.conf}) to reflect the correct information (such as the
hostnames and realm name) for your realm. @value{COMPANY} recommends
that you keep @code{krb5.conf} in @code{/etc}.
Among the settings in your @code{/etc/krb5.conf} file, be sure to create
a @code{[logging]} stanza so that the KDC and kadmind will generate
logging output. For example:
@smallexample
@group
[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log
@end group
@end smallexample
@node Create the Database, Add Administrators to the Acl File, Edit the Configuration Files, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Create the Database
You will use the @code{kdb5_util} command @emph{on the Master KDC} to
create the Kerberos database and the optional stash file. The
@dfn{stash file} is a local copy of the master key that resides in
encrypted form on the KDC's local disk. The stash file is used to
authenticate the KDC to itself automatically before starting the
@code{kadmind} and @code{krb5kdc} daemons (@i{e.g.,} as part of the
machine's boot sequence). The stash file, like the keytab file
(@xref{The Keytab File}) is a potential point-of-entry for a break-in,
and if compromised, would allow unrestricted access to the Kerberos
database. If you choose to install a stash file, it should be readable
only by root, and should exist only on the KDC's local disk. The file
should not be part of any backup of the machine, unless access to the
backup data is secured as tightly as access to the master password
itself.
Note that @code{kdb5_util} will prompt you for the master key for the
Kerberos database. This key can be any string. A good key is one you
can remember, but that no one else can guess. Examples of bad keys are
words that can be found in a dictionary, any common or popular name,
especially a famous person (or cartoon character), your username in any
form (@i{e.g.}, forward, backward, repeated twice, @i{etc.}), and any of
the sample keys that appear in this manual. One example of a key which
might be good if it did not appear in this manual is ``MITiys4K5!'',
which represents the sentence ``MIT is your source for Kerberos 5!''
(It's the first letter of each word, substituting the numeral ``4'' for
the word ``for'', and includes the punctuation mark at the end.)
The following is an example of how to create a Kerberos database and
stash file on the master KDC, using the @code{kdb5_util} command. (The
line that begins with @result{} is a continuation of the previous line.)
Replace @i{@value{PRIMARYREALM}} with the name of your Kerberos realm.
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kdb5_util create -r @value{PRIMARYREALM} -s
@b{Initializing database '@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/principal' for
@result{} realm '@value{PRIMARYREALM}',
master key name 'K/M@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}'
You will be prompted for the database Master Password.
It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.}
@iftex
@b{Enter KDC database master key:} @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type the master password.}
@b{Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:} @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type it again.}
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter KDC database master key:} @i{<= Type the master password.}
@b{Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:} @i{<= Type it again.}
@end ifinfo
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
This will create five files in the directory specified in your
@code{kdc.conf} file: two Kerberos database files, @code{principal.db},
and @code{principal.ok}; the Kerberos administrative database file,
@code{principal.kadm5}; the administrative database lock file,
@code{principal.kadm5.lock}; and the stash file, @code{.k5stash}. (The
default directory is @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc}.) If you do not
want a stash file, run the above command without the @code{-s} option.
@node Add Administrators to the Acl File, Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Create the Database, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Add Administrators to the Acl File
Next, you need create an Access Control List (acl) file, and put the
Kerberos principal of at least one of the administrators into it. The
filename should match the value you have set for ``acl_file'' in your
@code{kdc.conf} file. The default file name is @samp{kadm5.acl}. The
format of the file is:
@smallexample
Kerberos principal permissions optional target principal
@end smallexample
The Kerberos principal (and optional target principal) can include the
``@b{*}'' wildcard, so if you want any principal with the instance
``admin'' to have full permissions on the database, you could use the
principal ``@code{*/admin@@REALM}'' where ``REALM'' is your Kerberos
realm.
Note: a common use of an @i{admin} instance is so you can grant
separate permissions (such as administrator access to the Kerberos
database) to a separate Kerberos principal. For example, the user
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} might have a principal for his administrative
use, called @code{@value{ADMINUSER}/admin}. This way,
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} would obtain @code{@value{ADMINUSER}/admin}
tickets only when he actually needs to use those permissions. Refer to
the @value{PRODUCT} Administrator's Guide or the @value{PRODUCT} User's
Guide for more detailed explanations of @dfn{principals} and
@dfn{instances}.
The permissions (acls) recognized in the acl file
are the following:
@table @b
@itemx a
allows the addition of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx A
prohibits the addition of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx d
allows the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx D
prohibits the deletion of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx m
allows the modification of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx M
prohibits the modification of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx c
allows the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
@itemx C
prohibits the changing of passwords for principals in the database.
@itemx i
allows inquiries to the database.
@itemx I
prohibits inquiries to the database.
@itemx l
allows the listing of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx L
prohibits the listing of principals or policies in the database.
@itemx *
Short for all privileges (admcil).
@itemx x
Short for all privileges (admcil); identical to ``*''.
@end table
To give the principal @code{*/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}} permission to
change all of the database permissions on any principal permissions, you
would place the following line in the file:
@smallexample
*/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} *
@end smallexample
To give the principal @code{@value{ADMINUSER}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}}
permission to add, list, and inquire about any principal that has the
instance ``root'', you would add the following line to the acl file:
@smallexample
@value{ADMINUSER}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} ali */root@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end smallexample
@node Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Create a kadmind Keytab, Add Administrators to the Acl File, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database
Next you need to add administrative principals to the Kerberos database.
(You must add at least one now.) To do this, use @code{kadmin.local}
@emph{on the master KDC}. The administrative principals you create
should be the ones you added to the ACL file (see @xref{Add
Administrators to the Acl File}). In the following example, the
administration principal @code{admin/admin} is created:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin.local
@b{kadmin.local:} addprinc admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@b{WARNING: no policy specified for "admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}";
defaulting to no policy.}
@iftex
@b{Enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Enter a password.}
Re-enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}: @i{@doubleleftarrow{} Type it again.}
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}:} @i{<= Enter a password.}
Re-enter password for principal admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}: @i{<= Type it again.}
@end ifinfo
@b{Principal "admin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}" created.
kadmin.local:}
@end group
@end smallexample
@node Create a kadmind Keytab, Start the Kerberos Daemons, Add Administrators to the Kerberos Database, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Create a kadmind Keytab
The kadmind keytab is the key that kadmind will use to decrypt
administrators' Kerberos tickets to determine whether or not it should
give them access to the database. You need to create the kadmin keytab
with entries for the principals @code{kadmin/admin} and
@code{kadmin/changepw}. (These principals are placed in the Kerberos
database automatically when you create it.) To create the kadmin
keytab, run @code{kadmin.local} and use the @code{ktadd} command, as in
the following example. (The line beginning with @result{} is a
continuation of the previous line.):
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmin.local
@b{kadmin.local:} ktadd -k @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
@result{} kadmin/admin kadmin/changepw
@b{Entry for principal kadmin/admin@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
Entry for principal kadmin/changepw@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 3, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
kadmin.local:} quit
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
As specified in the @samp{-k} argument, @code{ktadd} will save the
extracted keytab as @* @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab}.
The filename you use must be the one specified in your @code{kdc.conf}
file.
@need 2000
@node Start the Kerberos Daemons, , Create a kadmind Keytab, Install the Master KDC
@subsubsection Start the Kerberos Daemons on the Master KDC
At this point, you are ready to start the Kerberos daemons on the Master
KDC. To do so, type:
@smallexample
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/krb5kdc
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kadmind
@end smallexample
@noindent
Each daemon will fork and run in the background. Assuming you want
these daemons to start up automatically at boot time, you can add them
to the KDC's @code{/etc/rc} or @code{/etc/inittab} file. You need to
have a stash file in order to do this.
You can verify that they started properly by checking for their startup
messages in the logging locations you defined in @code{/etc/krb5.conf}
(see @xref{Edit the Configuration Files}). For example:

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

@node Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs, Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation, Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs
Each KDC (including the master) needs a keytab to decrypt tickets.
Ideally, you should extract each keytab locally on its own KDC. If this
is not feasible, you should use an encrypted session to send them across
the network. To extract a keytab on a KDC called
@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}, you would execute the following
command:
@smallexample
@group
@b{kadmin:} ktadd host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@b{kadmin: Entry for principal host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM} with
kvno 1, encryption type DES-CBC-CRC added to keytab
WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab.

@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
Note that the principal must exist in the Kerberos database in order to
extract the keytab.
@node Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation, , Extract Host Keytabs for the KDCs, Install the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Set Up the Slave KDCs for Database Propagation
The database is propagated from the master KDC to the slave KDCs via the
@code{kpropd} daemon. To set up propagation, create a file on each KDC,
named @code{@value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/kpropd.acl}, containing the
principals for each of the KDCs.
@need 1200
For example, if the master KDC were
@code{@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, the slave KDCs were
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}} and
@code{@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}}, and the realm were
@code{@value{PRIMARYREALM}}, then the file's contents would be:
@smallexample
@group
host/@value{KDCSERVER}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
host/@value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
host/@value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}@@@value{PRIMARYREALM}
@end group
@end smallexample
@need 1000
Then, add the following lines to @code{/etc/inetd.conf} file on each KDC
(the line beginnng with @result{} is a continuation of the previous
line):
@smallexample
@group
krb5_prop stream tcp nowait root @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kpropd kpropd
eklogin stream tcp nowait root @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/klogind
@result{} klogind -k -c -e
@end group
@end smallexample
@noindent
The first line sets up the @code{kpropd} database propagation daemon.
The second line sets up the @code{eklogin} daemon, allowing
Kerberos-authenticated, encrypted rlogin to the KDC.
You also need to add the following lines to @code{/etc/services} on each
KDC:

Now that the slave KDCs are able to accept database propagation, you'll
need to propagate the database to each of them.
@menu
* Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC::
@end menu
@node Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC, , Back on the Master KDC, Back on the Master KDC
@subsubsection Propagate the Database to Each Slave KDC
First, create a dump of the database on the master KDC, as follows:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kdb5_util dump @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
Next, you need to manually propagate the database to each slave KDC, as
in the following example. (The lines beginning with @result{} are
continuations of the previous line.):
@smallexample
@group
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@result{} @value{KDCSLAVE1}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
@result{} @value{KDCSLAVE2}.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}
@end group
@end smallexample
You will need a script to dump and propagate the database. The
following is an example of a bourne shell script that will do this.
(Note that the line that begins with @result{} is a continuation of the
previous line. Remember that you need to replace @value{ROOTDIR} with
the name of the directory in which you installed @value{PRODUCT}.)
@smallexample
@group

do
@value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/kprop -f @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans $kdc
done
@end group

You will need to set up a cron job to run this script at the intervals
you decided on earlier (@xref{Database Propagation}.)
@node Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Add Kerberos Principals to the Database, Back on the Master KDC, Installing KDCs

@end iftex
@ifinfo
@b{Enter KDC database master key:} @i{<= Enter the database master key.}
@end ifinfo
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
As mentioned above, the stash file is necessary for your KDCs to be able
authenticate to themselves, such as when they reboot. You could run
your KDCs without stash files, but you would then need to type in the
Kerberos database master key by hand every time you start a KDC daemon.
@node Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC, , Create Stash Files on the Slave KDCs, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs
@subsubsection Start the krb5kdc Daemon on Each KDC
The final step in configuing your slave KDCs is to run the KDC daemon:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} @value{ROOTDIR}/sbin/krb5kdc
@end group
@end smallexample
As with the master KDC, you will probably want to add this command to
the KDCs' @code{/etc/rc} or @code{/etc/inittab} files, so they will
start the krb5kdc daemon automatically at boot time.
@node Add Kerberos Principals to the Database, Limit Access to the KDCs, Finish Installing the Slave KDCs, Installing KDCs

Assuming you have configured all of your KDCs to be able to function as

master KDC:
@enumerate
@item
Kill the @code{kadmind} process.
@item
Disable the cron job that propagates the database.
@item
Run your database propagation script manually, to ensure that the slaves
all have the latest copy of the database. (@xref{Propagate the Database

Start the @code{kadmind} daemon. (@xref{Start the Kerberos Daemons}.)
@item
Set up the cron job to propagate the database. (@xref{Propagate the
Database to Each Slave KDC}.)
@item
Switch the CNAMEs of the old and new master KDCs. (If you don't do
this, you'll need to change the @code{krb5.conf} file on every client

to switch the port number for @code{kerberos} to 750 and create a

@end menu
@node Mac OS X Configuration, , Client Machine Configuration Files, Client Machine Configuration Files
@subsubsection Mac OS X Configuration
To install Kerberos V5 on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, follow the
directions for generic Unix-based OS's, except for the
@code{/etc/services} updates described above.
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server use a database called NetInfo to store
the contents of files normally found in @code{/etc}. Instead of
modifying @code{/etc/services}, you should run the following commands
to add the Kerberos service entries to NetInfo:
@smallexample
@group
$ niutil -create . /services/kerberos
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kerberos name kerberos kdc
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kerberos port 750
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kerberos protocol tcp udp
$ niutil -create . /services/krbupdate
$ niutil -createprop . /services/krbupdate name krbupdate kreg
$ niutil -createprop . /services/krbupdate port 760
$ niutil -createprop . /services/krbupdate protocol tcp
$ niutil -create . /services/kpasswd
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kpasswd name kpasswd kpwd
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kpasswd port 761
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kpasswd protocol tcp
$ niutil -create . /services/klogin
$ niutil -createprop . /services/klogin port 543
$ niutil -createprop . /services/klogin protocol tcp
$ niutil -create . /services/eklogin
$ niutil -createprop . /services/eklogin port 2105
$ niutil -createprop . /services/eklogin protocol tcp
$ niutil -create . /services/kshell
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kshell name kshell krcmd
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kshell port 544
$ niutil -createprop . /services/kshell protocol tcp
@end group
@end smallexample
In addition to adding services to NetInfo, you must also modify the
resolver configuration in NetInfo so that the machine resolves its own
hostname as a FQDN (fully qualified domain name). By default, Mac OS X
and Mac OS X Server machines query NetInfo to resolve hostnames before
falling back to DNS. Because NetInfo has an unqualified name for all
the machines in the NetInfo database, the machine's own hostname will
resolve to an unqualified name. Kerberos needs a FQDN to look up keys
in the machine's keytab file.
Fortunately, you can change the @code{lookupd} caching order to query
DNS first. Run the following NetInfo commands and reboot the machine:
@smallexample
@group
$ niutil -create . /locations/lookupd/hosts
$ niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd/hosts LookupOrder CacheAgent DNSAgent
NIAgent NILAgent
@end group
@end smallexample
Once you have rebooted, you can verify that the resolver now behaves
correctly. Compile the Kerberos 5 distribution and run:
@smallexample
@group
$ cd .../src/tests/resolve
$ ./resolve
@end group
@end smallexample
This will tell you whether or not your machine returns FQDNs on name
lookups. If the test still fails, you can also try turning off DNS
caching. Run the following commands and reboot:
@smallexample
@group
$ niutil -create . /locations/lookupd/hosts
$ niutil -createprop . /locations/lookupd/hosts LookupOrder DNSAgent
CacheAgent NIAgent NILAgent
@end group
@end smallexample
The remainder of the setup of a Mac OS X client machine or application
server should be the same as for other UNIX-based systems.
@node UNIX Application Servers, , Installing and Configuring UNIX Client Machines, Installing Kerberos V5
@section UNIX Application Servers
An application server is a host that provides one or more services over
the network. Application servers can be ``secure'' or ``insecure.'' A
``secure'' host is set up to require authentication from every client
connecting to it. An ``insecure'' host will still provide Kerberos
authentication, but will also allow unauthenticated clients to connect.
If you have @value{PRODUCT} installed on all of your client machines,
@value{COMPANY} recommends that you make your hosts secure, to take
advantage of the security that Kerberos authentication affords.
However, if you have some clients that do not have @value{PRODUCT}
installed, you can run an insecure server, and still take advantage of
@value{PRODUCT}'s single sign-on on capability.

@node The Keytab File, Some Advice about Secure Hosts, Server Configuration Files, UNIX Application Servers
@subsection The Keytab File
All Kerberos server machines need a @dfn{keytab} file, called
@code{/etc/krb5.keytab}, to authenticate to the KDC. The keytab file is
an encrypted, local, on-disk copy of the host's key. The keytab file,
like the stash file (@ref{Create the Database}) is a potential
point-of-entry for a break-in, and if compromised, would allow
unrestricted access to its host. The keytab file should be readable
only by root, and should exist only on the machine's local disk. The
file should not be part of any backup of the machine, unless access to
the backup data is secured as tightly as access to the machine's root
password itself.
In order to generate a keytab for a host, the host must have a principal
in the Kerberos database. The procedure for adding hosts to the
database is described fully in the ``Adding or Modifying Principals''
section of the @cite{@value{PRODUCT} System Administrator's Guide}.
@xref{Create Host Keys for the Slave KDCs} for a brief description.)
The keytab is generated by running @code{kadmin} and issuing the
@code{ktadd} command.
@need 1100
For example, to generate a keytab file to allow the host
trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN} to authenticate for the services
@code{host}, @code{ftp}, and @code{pop}, the administrator
@code{@value{ADMINUSER}} would issue the command (on
trillium.@value{PRIMARYDOMAIN}):
@smallexample
@group

kadmin5:} quit
@b{trillium%}
@end group
@end smallexample
If you generate the keytab file on another host, you need to get a copy
of the keytab file onto the destination host (@code{trillium}, in the
above example) without sending it unencrypted over the network. If you
have installed the @value{PRODUCT} client programs, you can use
encrypted @code{rcp}.

but it is possible to install @value{PRODUCT} and still leave your host
vulnerable to attack. Obviously an installation guide is not the place
to try to include an exhaustive list of countermeasures for every
possible attack, but it is worth noting some of the larger holes and how
to close them.
As stated earlier in this section, @value{COMPANY} recommends that on a
secure host, you disable the standard @code{ftp}, @code{login},
@code{telnet}, @code{shell}, and @code{exec} services in
@code{/etc/inetd.conf}. We also recommend that secure hosts have an empty
@code{/etc/hosts.equiv} file and that there not be a @code{.rhosts} file
in @code{root}'s home directory. You can grant Kerberos-authenticated
root access to specific Kerberos principals by placing those principals
in the file @code{.k5login} in root's home directory.
We recommend that backups of secure machines exclude the keytab file
(@code{/etc/krb5.keytab}). If this is not possible, the backups should
at least be done locally, rather than over a network, and the backup
tapes should be physically secured.
Finally, the keytab file and any programs run by root, including the
@value{PRODUCT} binaries, should be kept on local disk. The keytab file
should be readable only by root.

@chapter Upgrading Existing @value{PRODUCT} Installations
If you already have an existing Kerberos database that you created with
a prior release of Kerberos 5, you can upgrade it to work with the
current release with the @code{kdb5_util} command. The process for
upgrading a Master KDC involves the following steps (the lines beginning
with => indicate a continuation of the previous line):
@enumerate
@item Stopping your current KDC and administration
server processes, if any.
@item Dumping your existing Kerberos database to an ASCII file with
@code{kdb5_util}'s ``dump'' command:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util -r @value{PRIMARYREALM} dump
@result{} @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/old-kdb-dump
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@item Creating a new Master KDC installation (@xref{Install the Master
KDC}). If you have a stash file for your current database, choose any
new master password but then copy your existing stash file to the
location specified by your kdc.conf; if you do not have a stash file for
your current database, you must choose the same master password.
@item Load your old Kerberos database into the new system with
@code{kdb5_util}'s ``load'' command:
@smallexample
@group
@b{shell%} kdb5_util load @value{ROOTDIR}/var/krb5kdc/old-kdb-dump
@b{shell%}
@end group
@end smallexample
@end enumerate
To update a Slave KDC, you must stop the old server processes on the
Slave KDC, install the new server binaries, reload the most recent slave
dump file, and re-start the server processes.

For the KDCs, add a section onto the end of the @code{krb5.conf} file
telling how logging information should be stored, as in the following
example:
@smallexample
@group
[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log

@value{PRIMARYREALM} = @{

max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s
master_key_type = des-cbc-crc
supported_enctypes = des-cbc-crc:normal
@}
@end group
@end smallexample
To add Kerberos V4 support, change the @code{supported_enctypes} line to:
@smallexample
supported_enctypes = des-cbc-crc:normal des-cbc-crc:v4
@end smallexample

@node Encryption Types and Salt Types, , kdc.conf, kdc.conf
@appendixsubsec Encryption Types and Salt Types
Currently, @value{PRODUCT} supports only DES and triple-DES encryption;
however, triple-DES is currently supported only for service keys, not
for user keys or session keys. The encoding types include
@code{des-cbc-crc} and @code{des3-cbc-sha1}. The @dfn{salt} is
additional information encoded within the key that tells what kind of
key it is. The only salts that you will be likely to encounter are:
@itemize @bullet
@item @dfn{normal}, which @value{COMPANY} recommends using for all of
your @value{PRODUCT} keys
@item @dfn{v4}, which is necessary only for compatibility with a v4 KDC
@item @dfn{afs}, which you will never need to generate, and which you will
encounter only if you dump an AFS database into a Kerberos database
@end itemize
Support for additional encryption types is planned in the future.
