.sp
The kdc.conf file supplements \fIkrb5.conf(5)\fP for programs which
are typically only used on a KDC, such as the \fIkrb5kdc(8)\fP and
\fIkadmind(8)\fP daemons and the \fIkdb5_util(8)\fP program.
Relations documented here may also be specified in krb5.conf; for the
KDC programs mentioned, krb5.conf and kdc.conf will be merged into a
single configuration profile.
.sp
Normally, the kdc.conf file is found in the KDC state directory,
\fB@LOCALSTATEDIR@\fP\fB/krb5kdc\fP\&. You can override the default location by setting the
environment variable \fBKRB5_KDC_PROFILE\fP\&.
.sp
Please note that you need to restart the KDC daemon for any configuration
changes to take effect.
.SH STRUCTURE
.sp
The kdc.conf file is set up in the same format as the
\fIkrb5.conf(5)\fP file.
.SH SECTIONS
.sp
The kdc.conf file may contain the following sections:
.TS
center;
|l|l|.
_
T{
\fI\%[kdcdefaults]\fP
T} T{
Default values for KDC behavior
T}
_
T{
\fI\%[realms]\fP
T} T{
Realm\-specific database configuration and settings
T}
_
T{
\fI\%[dbdefaults]\fP
T} T{
Default database settings
T}
_
T{
\fI\%[dbmodules]\fP
T} T{
Per\-database settings
T}
_
T{
\fI\%[logging]\fP
T} T{
Controls how Kerberos daemons perform logging
T}
_
.TE
.SS [kdcdefaults]
.sp
With one exception, relations in the [kdcdefaults] section specify
default values for realm variables, to be used if the [realms]
subsection does not contain a relation for the tag. See the
\fI\%[realms]\fP section for the definitions of these relations.
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhost_based_services\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBkdc_ports\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBkdc_tcp_ports\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBno_host_referral\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBrestrict_anonymous_to_tgt\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fBkdc_max_dgram_reply_size\fP
Specifies the maximum packet size that can be sent over UDP. The
default value is 4096 bytes.
.UNINDENT
.SS [realms]
.sp
Each tag in the [realms] section is the name of a Kerberos realm. The
value of the tag is a subsection where the relations define KDC
parameters for that particular realm. The following example shows how
to define one parameter for the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
[realms]
ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s
}
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The following tags may be specified in a [realms] subsection:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fBacl_file\fP
(String.) Location of the access control list file that
\fIkadmind(8)\fP uses to determine which principals are allowed
which permissions on the Kerberos database. The default value is
\fB@LOCALSTATEDIR@\fP\fB/krb5kdc\fP\fB/kadm5.acl\fP\&. For more information on Kerberos ACL
file see \fIkadm5.acl(5)\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBdatabase_module\fP
(String.) This relation indicates the name of the configuration
section under \fI\%[dbmodules]\fP for database\-specific parameters
used by the loadable database library. The default value is the
realm name. If this configuration section does not exist, default
values will be used for all database parameters.
.TP
.B \fBdatabase_name\fP
(String, deprecated.) This relation specifies the location of the
Kerberos database for this realm, if the DB2 module is being used
and the \fI\%[dbmodules]\fP configuration section does not specify a
database name. The default value is \fB@LOCALSTATEDIR@\fP\fB/krb5kdc\fP\fB/principal\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBdefault_principal_expiration\fP
(\fIabstime\fP string.) Specifies the default expiration date of
principals created in this realm. The default value is 0, which
means no expiration date.
.TP
.B \fBdefault_principal_flags\fP
(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 \(aq+\(aq before each flag that
should be enabled and \(aq\-\(aq before each flag that should be
disabled. The \fBpostdateable\fP, \fBforwardable\fP, \fBtgt\-based\fP,
\fBrenewable\fP, \fBproxiable\fP, \fBdup\-skey\fP, \fBallow\-tickets\fP, and
\fBservice\fP flags default to enabled.
.sp
There are a number of possible flags:
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B \fBallow\-tickets\fP
Enabling this flag means that the KDC will issue tickets for
this principal. Disabling this flag essentially deactivates
the principal within this realm.
.TP
.B \fBdup\-skey\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain a session
key for another user, permitting user\-to\-user authentication
for this principal.
.TP
.B \fBforwardable\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain forwardable
tickets.
.TP
.B \fBhwauth\fP
If this flag is enabled, then the principal is required to
preauthenticate using a hardware device before receiving any
tickets.
.TP
.B \fBno\-auth\-data\-required\fP
Enabling this flag prevents PAC or AD\-SIGNEDPATH data from
being added to service tickets for the principal.
.TP
.B \fBok\-as\-delegate\fP
If this flag is enabled, it hints the client that credentials
can and should be delegated when authenticating to the
service.
.TP
.B \fBok\-to\-auth\-as\-delegate\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to use S4USelf tickets.
.TP
.B \fBpostdateable\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain postdateable
tickets.
.TP
.B \fBpreauth\fP
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
bit set.
.TP
.B \fBproxiable\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain proxy
tickets.
.TP
.B \fBpwchange\fP
Enabling this flag forces a password change for this
principal.
.TP
.B \fBpwservice\fP
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\(aqs 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.
.TP
.B \fBrenewable\fP
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renewable
tickets.
.TP
.B \fBservice\fP
Enabling this flag allows the the KDC to issue service tickets
for this principal.
.TP
.B \fBtgt\-based\fP
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.
.UNINDENT
.TP
.B \fBdict_file\fP
(String.) Location of the dictionary file containing strings that
are not allowed as passwords. The file should contain one string
per line, with no additional whitespace. If none is specified or
if there is no policy assigned to the principal, no dictionary
checks of passwords will be performed.
.TP
.B \fBhost_based_services\fP
(Whitespace\- or comma\-separated list.) Lists services which will
get host\-based referral processing even if the server principal is
not marked as host\-based by the client.
.TP
.B \fBiprop_enable\fP
(Boolean value.) Specifies whether incremental database
propagation is enabled. The default value is false.
.TP
.B \fBiprop_master_ulogsize\fP
(Integer.) Specifies the maximum number of log entries to be
retained for incremental propagation. The default value is 1000.
Prior to release 1.11, the maximum value was 2500.
.TP
.B \fBiprop_slave_poll\fP
(Delta time string.) Specifies how often the slave KDC polls for
new updates from the master. The default value is \fB2m\fP (that
is, two minutes).
.TP
.B \fBiprop_port\fP
(Port number.) Specifies the port number to be used for
incremental propagation. This is required in both master and
slave configuration files.
.TP
.B \fBiprop_resync_timeout\fP
(Delta time string.) Specifies the amount of time to wait for a
full propagation to complete. This is optional in configuration
files, and is used by slave KDCs only. The default value is 5
minutes (\fB5m\fP). New in release 1.11.
.TP
.B \fBiprop_logfile\fP
(File name.) Specifies where the update log file for the realm
database is to be stored. The default is to use the
\fBdatabase_name\fP entry from the realms section of the krb5 config
file, with \fB\&.ulog\fP appended. (NOTE: If \fBdatabase_name\fP isn\(aqt
specified in the realms section, perhaps because the LDAP database
back end is being used, or the file name is specified in the
[dbmodules] section, then the hard\-coded default for
\fBdatabase_name\fP is used. Determination of the \fBiprop_logfile\fP
default value will not use values from the [dbmodules] section.)
.TP
.B \fBkadmind_port\fP
(Port number.) Specifies the port on which the \fIkadmind(8)\fP
daemon is to listen for this realm. The assigned port for kadmind
is 749, which is used by default.
.TP
.B \fBkey_stash_file\fP
(String.) Specifies the location where the master key has been
stored (via kdb5_util stash). The default is \fB@LOCALSTATEDIR@\fP\fB/krb5kdc\fP\fB/.k5.REALM\fP, where \fIREALM\fP is the Kerberos realm.
.TP
.B \fBkdc_ports\fP
(Whitespace\- or comma\-separated list.) Lists the ports on which
the Kerberos server should listen for UDP requests, as a
comma\-separated list of integers. The default value is
\fB88,750\fP, which are the assigned Kerberos port and the port
historically used by Kerberos V4.
.TP
.B \fBkdc_tcp_ports\fP
(Whitespace\- or comma\-separated list.) Lists the ports on which
the Kerberos server should listen for TCP connections, as a
comma\-separated list of integers. To disable listening on TCP,
set this relation to the empty string with \fBkdc_tcp_ports = ""\fP\&.
If this relation is not specified, the default is to listen on TCP
port 88 (the standard port). Prior to release 1.13, the default
was not to listen for TCP connections at all.
.TP
.B \fBmaster_key_name\fP
(String.) Specifies the name of the principal associated with the
master key. The default is \fBK/M\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBmaster_key_type\fP
(Key type string.) Specifies the master key\(aqs key type. The
default value for this is \fBaes256\-cts\-hmac\-sha1\-96\fP\&. For a list of all possible
values, see \fI\%Encryption types\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBmax_life\fP
(\fIduration\fP string.) Specifies the maximum time period for
which a ticket may be valid in this realm. The default value is
24 hours.
.TP
.B \fBmax_renewable_life\fP
(\fIduration\fP string.) Specifies the maximum time period
during which a valid ticket may be renewed in this realm.
The default value is 0.
.TP
.B \fBno_host_referral\fP
(Whitespace\- or comma\-separated list.) Lists services to block
from getting host\-based referral processing, even if the client
marks the server principal as host\-based or the service is also
listed in \fBhost_based_services\fP\&. \fBno_host_referral = *\fP will
disable referral processing altogether.
.TP
.B \fBdes_crc_session_supported\fP
(Boolean value). If set to true, the KDC will assume that service
principals support des\-cbc\-crc for session key enctype negotiation
purposes. If \fBallow_weak_crypto\fP in \fIlibdefaults\fP is
false, or if des\-cbc\-crc is not a permitted enctype, then this
variable has no effect. Defaults to true. New in release 1.11.
.TP
.B \fBreject_bad_transit\fP
(Boolean value.) If set to true, the KDC will check the list of
transited realms for cross\-realm tickets against the transit path
computed from the realm names and the capaths section of its
\fIkrb5.conf(5)\fP file; if the path in the ticket to be issued
contains any realms not in the computed path, the ticket will not
be issued, and an error will be returned to the client instead.
If this value is set to false, such tickets will be issued
anyways, and it will be left up to the application server to
validate the realm transit path.
.sp
If the disable\-transited\-check flag is set in the incoming
request, this check is not performed at all. Having the
\fBreject_bad_transit\fP option will cause such ticket requests to
be rejected always.
.sp
This transit path checking and config file option currently apply
only to TGS requests.
.sp
The default value is true.
.TP
.B \fBrestrict_anonymous_to_tgt\fP
(Boolean value.) If set to true, the KDC will reject ticket
requests from anonymous principals to service principals other
than the realm\(aqs ticket\-granting service. This option allows
anonymous PKINIT to be enabled for use as FAST armor tickets
without allowing anonymous authentication to services. The
default value is false. New in release 1.9.
.TP
.B \fBsupported_enctypes\fP
(List of \fIkey\fP:\fIsalt\fP strings.) Specifies the default key/salt
combinations of principals for this realm. Any principals created
through \fIkadmin(1)\fP will have keys of these types. The
default value for this tag is \fBaes256\-cts\-hmac\-sha1\-96:normal aes128\-cts\-hmac\-sha1\-96:normal des3\-cbc\-sha1:normal arcfour\-hmac\-md5:normal\fP\&. For lists of

This DB2\-specific tag indicates the location of the database in
the filesystem. The default is \fB@LOCALSTATEDIR@\fP\fB/krb5kdc\fP\fB/principal\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBdb_library\fP
This tag indicates the name of the loadable database module. The
value should be \fBdb2\fP for the DB2 module and \fBkldap\fP for the
LDAP module.
.TP
.B \fBdisable_last_success\fP
If set to \fBtrue\fP, suppresses KDC updates to the "Last successful
authentication" field of principal entries requiring
preauthentication. Setting this flag may improve performance.
(Principal entries which do not require preauthentication never
update the "Last successful authentication" field.). First
introduced in release 1.9.
.TP
.B \fBdisable_lockout\fP
If set to \fBtrue\fP, suppresses KDC updates to the "Last failed
authentication" and "Failed password attempts" fields of principal
entries requiring preauthentication. Setting this flag may
improve performance, but also disables account lockout. First
introduced in release 1.9.
.TP
.B \fBldap_conns_per_server\fP
This LDAP\-specific tag indicates the number of connections to be
maintained per LDAP server.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kdc_dn\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_dn\fP
These LDAP\-specific tags indicate the default DN for binding to
the LDAP server. The \fIkrb5kdc(8)\fP daemon uses
\fBldap_kdc_dn\fP, while the \fIkadmind(8)\fP daemon and other
administrative programs use \fBldap_kadmind_dn\fP\&. The kadmind DN
must have the rights to read and write the Kerberos data in the
LDAP database. The KDC DN must have the same rights, unless
\fBdisable_lockout\fP and \fBdisable_last_success\fP are true, in
which case it only needs to have rights to read the Kerberos data.
These tags are ignored if a SASL mechanism is set with
\fBldap_kdc_sasl_mech\fP or \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_mech\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kdc_sasl_mech\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_mech\fP
These LDAP\-specific tags specify the SASL mechanism (such as
\fBEXTERNAL\fP) to use when binding to the LDAP server. New in
release 1.13.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kdc_sasl_authcid\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_authcid\fP
These LDAP\-specific tags specify the SASL authentication identity
to use when binding to the LDAP server. Not all SASL mechanisms
require an authentication identity. If the SASL mechanism
requires a secret (such as the password for \fBDIGEST\-MD5\fP), these
tags also determine the name within the
\fBldap_service_password_file\fP where the secret is stashed. New
in release 1.13.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kdc_sasl_authzid\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_authzid\fP
These LDAP\-specific tags specify the SASL authorization identity
to use when binding to the LDAP server. In most circumstances
they do not need to be specified. New in release 1.13.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kdc_sasl_realm\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_realm\fP
These LDAP\-specific tags specify the SASL realm to use when
binding to the LDAP server. In most circumstances they do not
need to be set. New in release 1.13.
.TP
.B \fBldap_kerberos_container_dn\fP
This LDAP\-specific tag indicates the DN of the container object
where the realm objects will be located.
.TP
.B \fBldap_servers\fP
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 \fBldapi:\fP or \fBldaps:\fP URLs to connect
to the LDAP server.
.TP
.B \fBldap_service_password_file\fP
This LDAP\-specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed
passwords (created by \fBkdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw\fP) for the
\fBldap_kdc_dn\fP and \fBldap_kadmind_dn\fP objects, or for the
\fBldap_kdc_sasl_authcid\fP or \fBldap_kadmind_sasl_authcid\fP names
for SASL authentication. This file must be kept secure.
.TP
.B \fBunlockiter\fP
If set to \fBtrue\fP, this DB2\-specific tag causes iteration
operations to release the database lock while processing each
principal. Setting this flag to \fBtrue\fP can prevent extended
blocking of KDC or kadmin operations when dumps of large databases
are in progress. First introduced in release 1.13.

Specifies the location of Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
information to be used by the KDC when verifying the validity of
client certificates. This option may be specified multiple times.
.TP
.B \fBpkinit_require_crl_checking\fP
The default certificate verification process will always check the
available revocation information to see if a certificate has been
revoked. If a match is found for the certificate in a CRL,
verification fails. If the certificate being verified is not
listed in a CRL, or there is no CRL present for its issuing CA,

The string \fBDEFAULT\fP can be used to refer to the default set of
types for the variable in question. Types or families can be removed
from the current list by prefixing them with a minus sign ("\-").
Types or families can be prefixed with a plus sign ("+") for symmetry;
it has the same meaning as just listing the type or family. For
example, "\fBDEFAULT \-des\fP" would be the default set of encryption
types with DES types removed, and "\fBdes3 DEFAULT\fP" would be the
default set of encryption types with triple DES types moved to the
front.
.sp
While \fBaes128\-cts\fP and \fBaes256\-cts\fP are supported for all Kerberos
operations, they are not supported by very old versions of our GSSAPI
implementation (krb5\-1.3.1 and earlier). Services running versions of
krb5 without AES support must not be given AES keys in the KDC
database.
.SH KEYSALT LISTS
.sp
Kerberos keys for users are usually derived from passwords. Kerberos
commands and configuration parameters that affect generation of keys
take lists of enctype\-salttype ("keysalt") pairs, known as \fIkeysalt
lists\fP\&. Each keysalt pair is an enctype name followed by a salttype
name, in the format \fIenc\fP:\fIsalt\fP\&. Individual keysalt list members are
separated by comma (",") characters or space characters. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kadmin \-e aes256\-cts:normal,aes128\-cts:normal
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would start up kadmin so that by default it would generate
password\-derived keys for the \fBaes256\-cts\fP and \fBaes128\-cts\fP
encryption types, using a \fBnormal\fP salt.
.sp
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 salt types are as
follows:
.TS
center;
|l|l|.
_
T{
normal

default for Kerberos Version 5

T{
v4

_
T{
