.SH NAME
kpropd \- Kerberos propagation daemon for slave KDCs
.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBkpropd\fR command runs on the slave KDC server. It listens for update
requests made by \fBkprop\fR(8) from the master KDC and periodically requests
incremental updates from the master KDC.
.sp
.LP
When the slave receives a kprop request from the master, \fBkpropd\fR copies
principal data to a temporary text file. Next, \fBkpropd\fR invokes
\fBkdb5_util\fR(8) (unless a different database utility is selected) to load
the text file in database format.
.sp
.LP
When the slave periodically requests incremental updates, \fBkpropd\fR update
its \fBprincipal.ulog\fR file with any updates from the master.
\fBkproplog\fR(8) can be used to view a summary of the update entry log on the
slave KDC.
.sp
.LP
kpropd is not configured for incremental database propagation by default. These
settings can be changed in the \fBkdc.conf\fR(5) file:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBsunw_dbprop_enable = [true | false]\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Enables or disables incremental database propagation. Default is \fBfalse\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBsunw_dbprop_slave_poll = N[s, m, h]\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies how often the slave KDC polls for any updates that the master might
have. Default is \fB2m\fR (two minutes).
.RE

.sp
.LP
The \fBkiprop/\fI<hostname>\fR@\fI<REALM>\fR\fR principal must exist in the
slave's \fBkeytab\fR file to enable the master to authenticate incremental
propagation requests from the slave. In this syntax, \fI<hostname>\fR is the
slave KDC's host name and \fI<REALM>\fR is the realm in which the slave KDC
resides.
