9realm is an administrative domain.  The name of a Kerberos realm is
10usually the Internet domain name in uppercase.  Call your realm the same
11as your Internet domain name if you do not have strong reasons for not
12doing so.  It will make life easier for you and everyone else.

38@section Configuration file
39
40To setup a realm you will first have to create a configuration file:
41@file{/etc/krb5.conf}. The @file{krb5.conf} file can contain many
42configuration options, some of which are described here.
43
44There is a sample @file{krb5.conf} supplied with the distribution.
45
46The configuration file is a hierarchical structure consisting of
47sections, each containing a list of bindings (either variable
48assignments or subsections). A section starts with
49@samp{[@samp{section-name}]}.  A binding consists of a left hand side, an equal sign
50(@samp{=}) and a right hand side (the left hand side tag must be
51separated from the equal sign with some whitespace). Subsections have a
52@samp{@{} as the first non-whitespace character after the equal sign. All
53other bindings are treated as variable assignments. The value of a
54variable extends to the end of the line.
55
56@example
57[section1]
58        a-subsection = @{
59                var = value1
60                other-var = value with @{@}
61                sub-sub-section = @{
62                        var = 123
63                @}
64        @}
65        var = some other value
66[section2]
67        var = yet another value
68@end example
69
70In this manual, names of sections and bindings will be given as strings
71separated by slashes (@samp{/}). The @samp{other-var} variable will thus
72be @samp{section1/a-subsection/other-var}.
73
74For in-depth information about the contents of the configuration file, refer to
75the @file{krb5.conf} manual page. Some of the more important sections
76are briefly described here.
77
78The @samp{libdefaults} section contains a list of library configuration
79parameters, such as the default realm and the timeout for KDC
80responses. The @samp{realms} section contains information about specific
81realms, such as where they hide their KDC@. This section serves the same
82purpose as the Kerberos 4 @file{krb.conf} file, but can contain more
83information. Finally the @samp{domain_realm} section contains a list of
84mappings from domains to realms, equivalent to the Kerberos 4
85@file{krb.realms} file.
86
87To continue with the realm setup, you will have to create a configuration file,
88with contents similar to the following.
89
90@example
91[libdefaults]
92        default_realm = MY.REALM
93[realms]
94        MY.REALM = @{
95                kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
96                kdc = my.third.kdc
97                kdc = 130.237.237.17
98                kdc = [2001:6b0:1:ea::100]:88
99        @}
100[domain_realm]
101        .my.domain = MY.REALM
102
103@end example
104
105If you use a realm name equal to your domain name, you can omit the
106@samp{libdefaults}, and @samp{domain_realm}, sections. If you have a DNS
107SRV-record for your realm, or your Kerberos server has DNS CNAME
108@samp{kerberos.my.realm}, you can omit the @samp{realms} section too.
109
110@cindex KRB5_CONFIG
111If you want to use a different configuration file then the default you
112can point a file with the enviroment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG}.
113
114@example
115env KRB5_CONFIG=$HOME/etc/krb5.conf kinit user@@REALM
116@end example
117
118@node Creating the database, Modifying the database, Configuration file, Setting up a realm
119@section Creating the database
120
121The database library will look for the database in the directory
122@file{@value{dbdir}}, so you should probably create that directory.
123Make sure the directory has restrictive permissions.
124
125@example
126# mkdir /var/heimdal
127@end example
128
129The keys of all the principals are stored in the database.  If you
130choose to, these can be encrypted with a master key.  You do not have to
131remember this key (or password), but just to enter it once and it will
132be stored in a file (@file{/var/heimdal/m-key}).  If you want to have a
133master key, run @samp{kstash} to create this master key:
134
135@example
136# kstash
137Master key:
138Verifying password - Master key:
139@end example
140
141If you want to generate a random master key you can use the
142@kbd{--random-key} flag to kstash. This will make sure you have a good key
143on which attackers can't do a dictionary attack.
144
145If you have a master key, make sure you make a backup of your master
146key file; without it backups of the database are of no use.
147
148To initialise the database use the @command{kadmin} program, with the
149@kbd{-l} option (to enable local database mode). First issue a
150@kbd{init MY.REALM} command. This will create the database and insert
151default principals for that realm. You can have more than one realm in
152one database, so @samp{init} does not destroy any old database.
153
154Before creating the database, @samp{init} will ask you some questions
155about maximum ticket lifetimes.
156
157After creating the database you should probably add yourself to it. You
158do this with the @samp{add} command. It takes as argument the name of a
159principal. The principal should contain a realm, so if you haven't set up
160a default realm, you will need to explicitly include the realm.
161
162@example
163# kadmin -l
164kadmin> init MY.REALM
165Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
166Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
167kadmin> add me
168Max ticket life [unlimited]:
169Max renewable life [unlimited]:
170Attributes []:
171Password:
172Verifying password - Password:
173@end example
174
175Now start the KDC and try getting a ticket.
176
177@example
178# kdc &
179# kinit me
180me@@MY.REALMS's Password:
181# klist
182Credentials cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
183        Principal: me@@MY.REALM
184
185  Issued           Expires          Principal
186Aug 25 07:25:55  Aug 25 17:25:55  krbtgt/MY.REALM@@MY.REALM
187@end example
188
189If you are curious you can use the @samp{dump} command to list all the
190entries in the database.  It should look something similar to the
191following example (note that the entries here are truncated for
192typographical reasons):
193
194@smallexample
195kadmin> dump

202@node Modifying the database, Checking the setup, Creating the database, Setting up a realm
203@section Modifying the database
204
205All modifications of principals are done with with kadmin.
206
207A principal has several attributes and lifetimes associated with it.
208
209Principals are added, renamed, modified, and deleted with the kadmin
210commands @samp{add}, @samp{rename}, @samp{modify}, @samp{delete}.
211Both interactive editing and command line flags can be used (use --help
212to list the available options).
213
214There are different kinds of types for the fields in the database;
215attributes, absolute time times and relative times.
216
217@subsection Attributes
218
219When doing interactive editing, attributes are listed with @samp{?}.
220
221The attributes are given in a comma (@samp{,}) separated list.
222Attributes are removed from the list by prefixing them with @samp{-}.

264@node Checking the setup, keytabs, Modifying the database, Setting up a realm
265@section Checking the setup
266
267There are two tools that can check the consistency of the Kerberos
268configuration file and the Kerberos database.
269
270The Kerberos configuration file is checked using
271@command{verify_krb5_conf}. The tool checks for common errors, but
272commonly there are several uncommon configuration entries that are
273never added to the tool and thus generates ``unknown entry'' warnings.
274This is usually nothing to worry about.
275
276The database check is built into the kadmin tool. It will check for
277common configuration error that will cause problems later. Common
278check are for existence and flags on important principals. The
279database check by run by the following command :
280
281@example
282kadmin -l check REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
283@end example
284
285@node keytabs, Serving Kerberos 4/524/kaserver, Checking the setup, Setting up a realm
286@section keytabs
287
288To extract a service ticket from the database and put it in a keytab, you
289need to first create the principal in the database with @samp{add}
290(using the @kbd{--random-key} flag to get a random key) and then
291extract it with @samp{ext_keytab}.
292
293@example
294kadmin> add --random-key host/my.host.name
295Max ticket life [unlimited]:

310
311Heimdal can be configured to support 524, Kerberos 4 or kaserver. All
312these services are turned off by default. Kerberos 4 is always
313supported by the KDC, but the Kerberos 4 client support also depends
314on Kerberos 4 support having been included at compile-time, using
315@kbd{--with-krb4=dir}.
316

318
319524 is a service that allows the KDC to convert Kerberos 5 tickets to
320Kerberos 4 tickets for backward compatibility. See also Using 2b
321tokens with AFS in @xref{AFS}.
322
323524 can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file
324
325@example
326[kdc]

329
330@subsection Kerberos 4
331
332Kerberos 4 is the predecessor to to Kerberos 5. It only supports
333single DES@. You should only enable Kerberos 4 support if you have
334needs for compatibility with an installed base of Kerberos 4
335clients/servers.
336
337Kerberos 4 can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file
338
339@example
340[kdc]
341	enable-kerberos4 = yes
342@end example
343
344@subsection kaserver
345
346Kaserver is a Kerberos 4 that is used in AFS@.  The protocol has some
347extra features over plain Kerberos 4, but like Kerberos 4, only uses
348single DES@.
349
350You should only enable Kaserver support if you have needs for
351compatibility with an installed base of AFS machines.
352
353Kaserver can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file

360@node Remote administration, Password changing, Serving Kerberos 4/524/kaserver, Setting up a realm
361@section Remote administration
362
363The administration server, @command{kadmind}, can be started by
364@command{inetd} (which isn't recommended) or run as a normal daemon. If you
365want to start it from @command{inetd} you should add a line similar to the
366one below to your @file{/etc/inetd.conf}.
367
368@example
369kerberos-adm stream     tcp     nowait  root /usr/heimdal/libexec/kadmind kadmind
370@end example
371
372You might need to add @samp{kerberos-adm} to your @file{/etc/services}
373as @samp{749/tcp}.
374
375Access to the administration server is controlled by an ACL file,
376(default @file{/var/heimdal/kadmind.acl}.) The file has the following
377syntax:
378@smallexample
379principal       [priv1,priv2,...]       [glob-pattern]
380@end smallexample
381
382The matching is from top to bottom for matching principals (and if given,
383glob-pattern).  When there is a match, the access rights of that line are
384applied.
385
386The privileges you can assign to a principal are: @samp{add},
387@samp{change-password} (or @samp{cpw} for short), @samp{delete},
388@samp{get}, @samp{list}, and @samp{modify}, or the special privilege
389@samp{all}. All of these roughly correspond to the different commands
390in @command{kadmin}.
391
392If a @var{glob-pattern} is given on a line, it restricts the access
393rights for the principal to only apply for subjects that match the
394pattern.  The patterns are of the same type as those used in shell
395globbing, see @url{none,,fnmatch(3)}.
396
397In the example below @samp{lha/admin} can change every principal in the
398database. @samp{jimmy/admin} can only modify principals that belong to
399the realm @samp{E.KTH.SE}. @samp{mille/admin} is working at the
400help desk, so he should only be able to change the passwords for single
401component principals (ordinary users). He will not be able to change any
402@samp{/admin} principal.
403
404@example
405lha/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all

412@section Password changing
413
414To allow users to change their passwords, you should run @command{kpasswdd}.
415It is not run from @command{inetd}.
416
417You might need to add @samp{kpasswd} to your @file{/etc/services} as
418@samp{464/udp}.  If your realm is not setup to use DNS, you might also
419need to add a @samp{kpasswd_server} entry to the realm configuration
420in @file{/etc/krb5.conf} on client machines:
421
422@example
423[realms]
424        MY.REALM = @{
425                kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
426                kpasswd_server = my.kdc
427        @}
428@end example
429
430@subsection Password quality assurance
431
432It is important that users have good passwords, both to make it harder
433to guess them and to avoid off-line attacks (although
434pre-authentication provides some defence against off-line attacks).
435To ensure that the users choose good passwords, you can enable
436password quality controls in @command{kpasswdd} and @command{kadmind}.
437The controls themselves are done in a shared library or an external
438program that is used by @command{kpasswdd}.  To configure in these
439controls, add lines similar to the following to your
440@file{/etc/krb5.conf}:
441
442@example
443[password_quality]
444	policies = external-check builtin:minimum-length modulename:policyname
445	external_program = /bin/false
446	policy_libraries = @var{library1.so} @var{library2.so}
447@end example
448
449In @samp{[password_quality]policies} the module name is optional if
450the policy name is unique in all modules (members of
451@samp{policy_libraries}).  All built-in policies can be qualified with
452a module name of @samp{builtin} to unambiguously specify the built-in
453policy and not a policy by the same name from a loaded module.
454
455The built-in policies are
456
457@itemize @bullet
458
459@item external-check
460
461Executes the program specified by @samp{[password_quality]external_program}.
462
463A number of key/value pairs are passed as input to the program, one per
464line, ending with the string @samp{end}.  The key/value lines are of
465the form
466@example
467principal: @var{principal}
468new-password: @var{password}
469@end example
470where @var{password} is the password to check for the previous
471@var{principal}.
472
473If the external application approves the password, it should return
474@samp{APPROVED} on standard out and exit with exit code 0.  If it
475doesn't approve the password, an one line error message explaining the
476problem should be returned on standard error and the application
477should exit with exit code 0.  In case of a fatal error, the
478application should, if possible, print an error message on standard
479error and exit with a non-zero error code.
480
481@item minimum-length
482
483The minimum length password quality check reads the configuration file
484stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_length} and requires the password
485to be at least this length.
486
487@item character-class
488
489The character-class password quality check reads the configuration
490file stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_classes}. The policy requires
491the password to have characters from at least that many character
492classes. Default value if not given is 3.
493
494The four different characters classes are, uppercase, lowercase,
495number, special characters.
496
497@end itemize
498
499If you want to write your own shared object to check password
500policies, see the manual page @manpage{kadm5_pwcheck,3}.
501
502Code for a password quality checking function that uses the cracklib
503library can be found in @file{lib/kadm5/sample_password_check.c} in
504the source code distribution.  It requires that the cracklib library
505be built with the patch available at
506@url{ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/cracklib.patch}.
507
508A sample policy external program is included in
509@file{lib/kadm5/check-cracklib.pl}.
510
511If no password quality checking function is configured, the only check
512performed is that the password is at least six characters long.
513
514To check the password policy settings, use the command
515@command{verify-password-quality} in @command{kadmin} program. The password
516verification is only performed locally, on the client.  It may be
517convenient to set the environment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG} to point
518to a test version of @file{krb5.conf} while you're testing the
519@samp{[password_quality]} stanza that way.

530It is desirable to have at least one backup (slave) server in case the
531master server fails. It is possible to have any number of such slave
532servers but more than three usually doesn't buy much more redundancy.
533

535they present the same service to the users.  The

540@command{hpropd} processes.
541
542Every slave needs a database directory, the master key (if it was used
543for the database) and a keytab with the principal
544@samp{hprop/@var{hostname}}.  Add the principal with the
545@pindex ktutil
546@command{ktutil} command and start
547@pindex hpropd
548@command{hpropd}, as follows:
549
550@example
551slave# ktutil get -p foo/admin hprop/`hostname`
552slave# mkdir /var/heimdal
553slave# hpropd
554@end example
555
556The master will use the principal @samp{kadmin/hprop} to authenticate to
557the slaves.  This principal should be added when running @kbd{kadmin -l
558init} but if you do not have it in your database for whatever reason,
559please add it with @kbd{kadmin -l add}.
560
561Then run
562@pindex hprop
563@code{hprop} on the master:
564
565@example
566master# hprop slave
567@end example
568
569This was just an hands-on example to make sure that everything was
570working properly.  Doing it manually is of course the wrong way, and to
571automate this you will want to start
572@pindex hpropd
573@command{hpropd} from @command{inetd} on the slave(s) and regularly run
574@pindex hprop
575@command{hprop} on the master to regularly propagate the database.
576Starting the propagation once an hour from @command{cron} is probably a
577good idea.
578
579@node Incremental propagation, Encryption types and salting, Slave Servers, Setting up a realm
580@section Incremental propagation
581
582There is also a newer mechanism for
583doing incremental propagation in Heimdal.  Instead of sending the whole
584database regularly, it sends the changes as they happen on the master to
585the slaves.  The master keeps track of all the changes by assigning a
586version number to every change to the database.  The slaves know which
587was the latest version they saw and in this way it can be determined if
588they are in sync or not.  A log of all the changes is kept on the master,
589and when a slave is at an older version than the oldest one in the
590log, the whole database has to be sent.
591
592Protocol-wise, all the slaves connect to the master and as a greeting
593tell it the latest version that they have (@samp{IHAVE} message).  The
594master then responds by sending all the changes between that version and
595the current version at the master (a series of @samp{FORYOU} messages)
596or the whole database in a @samp{TELLYOUEVERYTHING} message.  There is
597also a keep-alive protocol that makes sure all slaves are up and running.
598
599In addition on listening on the network to get connection from new
600slaves, the ipropd-master also listens on a status unix
601socket. kadmind and kpasswdd both open that socket when a transation
602is done and written a notification to the socket. That cause
603ipropd-master to check for new version in the log file. As a fallback in
604case a notification is lost by the unix socket, the log file is
605checked after 30 seconds of no event.
606
607@subsection Configuring incremental propagation
608
609The program that runs on the master is @command{ipropd-master} and all
610clients run @command{ipropd-slave}.
611
612Create the file @file{/var/heimdal/slaves} on the master containing all
613the slaves that the database should be propagated to.  Each line contains
614the full name of the principal (for example
615@samp{iprop/hemligare.foo.se@@FOO.SE}).
616
617You should already have @samp{iprop/tcp} defined as 2121, in your
618@file{/etc/services}.  Otherwise, or if you need to use a different port
619for some peculiar reason, you can use the @kbd{--port} option.  This is
620useful when you have multiple realms to distribute from one server.
621
622Then you need to create those principals that you added in the
623configuration file.  Create one @samp{iprop/hostname} for the master and
624for every slave.
625
626
627@example
628master# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
629@end example
630
631@example
632slave# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
633@end example
634
635
636The next step is to start the @command{ipropd-master} process on the master
637server.  The @command{ipropd-master} listens on the UNIX domain socket
638@file{/var/heimdal/signal} to know when changes have been made to the
639database so they can be propagated to the slaves.  There is also a
640safety feature of testing the version number regularly (every 30
641seconds) to see if it has been modified by some means that do not raise
642this signal.  Then, start @command{ipropd-slave} on all the slaves:
643
644@example
645master# /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-master &
646slave#  /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-slave master &
647@end example
648
649To manage the iprop log file you should use the @command{iprop-log}
650command. With it you can dump, truncate and replay the logfile.

654@cindex Salting
655@cindex Encryption types
656
657The encryption types that the KDC is going to assign by default is
658possible to change. Since the keys used for user authentication is
659salted the encryption types are described together with the salt
660strings.
661
662Salting is used to make it harder to pre-calculate all possible
663keys. Using a salt increases the search space to make it almost
664impossible to pre-calculate all keys. Salting is the process of mixing a
665public string (the salt) with the password, then sending it through an
666encryption type specific string-to-key function that will output the
667fixed size encryption key.
668
669In Kerberos 5 the salt is determined by the encryption type, except in
670some special cases.
671
672In @code{des} there is the Kerberos 4 salt
673(none at all) or the afs-salt (using the cell (realm in
674AFS lingo)).
675
676In @code{arcfour} (the encryption type that Microsoft Windows 2000 uses)
677there is no salt. This is to be compatible with NTLM keys in Windows
678NT 4.
679
680@code{[kadmin]default_keys} in @file{krb5.conf} controls
681what salting to use.
682
683The syntax of @code{[kadmin]default_keys} is
684@samp{[etype:]salt-type[:salt-string]}. @samp{etype} is the encryption
685type (des-cbc-crc, arcfour-hmac-md5, aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96),
686@code{salt-type} is the type of salt (pw-salt or afs3-salt), and the
687salt-string is the string that will be used as salt (remember that if
688the salt is appended/prepended, the empty salt "" is the same thing as
689no salt at all).
690
691Common types of salting include
692
693@itemize @bullet
694@item @code{v4} (or @code{des:pw-salt:})
695
696The Kerberos 4 salting is using no salt at all. Reason there is colon
697at the end of the salt string is that it makes the salt the empty
698string (same as no salt).
699
700@item @code{v5} (or @code{pw-salt})
701
702@code{pw-salt} uses the default salt for each encryption type is
703specified for. If the encryption type @samp{etype} isn't given, all
704default encryption will be used.
705
706@item @code{afs3-salt}
707
708@code{afs3-salt} is the salt that is used with Transarc kaserver. It's
709the cell name appended to the password.

718When KCM running is easy for users to switch between different

721
722Other advantages are that there is the long term credentials are not
723written to disk and on reboot the credential is removed when kcm
724process stopps running.
725
726Configure the system startup script to start the kcm process,

767Som applications, like openssh with Simon Wilkinsons patch applied,

783@section Cross realm
784@cindex Cross realm
785
786Suppose you reside in the realm @samp{MY.REALM}, how do you
787authenticate to a server in @samp{OTHER.REALM}? Having valid tickets in
788@samp{MY.REALM} allows you to communicate with Kerberised services in that
789realm. However, the computer in the other realm does not have a secret
790key shared with the Kerberos server in your realm.
791
792It is possible to share keys between two realms that trust each
793other. When a client program, such as @command{telnet} or @command{ssh},
794finds that the other computer is in a different realm, it will try to
795get a ticket granting ticket for that other realm, but from the local
796Kerberos server. With that ticket granting ticket, it will then obtain
797service tickets from the Kerberos server in the other realm.
798
799For a two way trust between @samp{MY.REALM} and @samp{OTHER.REALM}
800add the following principals to each realm. The principals should be
801@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM} and
802@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} in @samp{MY.REALM}, and
803@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} and
804@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM}in @samp{OTHER.REALM}.
805
806In Kerberos 5 the trust can be configured to be one way. So that
807users from @samp{MY.REALM} can authenticate to services in
808@samp{OTHER.REALM}, but not the opposite. In the example above, the
809@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} then should be removed.
810
811The two principals must have the same key, key version number, and the
812same set of encryption types. Remember to transfer the two keys in a
813safe manner.

848
849Under some circumstances, you may not wish to set up direct
850cross-realm trust with every realm to which you wish to authenticate
851or from which you wish to accept authentications. Kerberos supports
852multi-hop cross-realm trust where a client principal in realm A
853authenticates to a service in realm C through a realm B with which
854both A and C have cross-realm trust relationships. In this situation,
855A and C need not set up cross-realm principals between each other.
856
857If you want to use cross-realm authentication through an intermediate
858realm, it must be explicitly allowed by either the KDCs for the realm
859to which the client is authenticating (in this case, realm C), or the
860server receiving the request. This is done in @file{krb5.conf} in the
861@code{[capaths]} section.
862
863In addition, the client in realm A need to be configured to know how
864to reach realm C via realm B. This can be done either on the client or
865via KDC configuration in the KDC for realm A.
866
867@subsection Allowing cross-realm transits
868
869When the ticket transits through a realm to another realm, the
870destination realm adds its peer to the "transited-realms" field in the
871ticket. The field is unordered, since there is no way to know if know
872if one of the transited-realms changed the order of the list. For the
873authentication to be accepted by the final destination realm, all of
874the transited realms must be listed as trusted in the @code{[capaths]}
875configuration, either in the KDC for the destination realm or on the
876server receiving the authentication.
877
878The syntax for @code{[capaths]} section is:
879
880@example
881[capaths]
882        CLIENT-REALM = @{
883                SERVER-REALM = PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS ...
884        @}
885@end example
886
887In the following example, the realm @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} only has
888direct cross-realm set up with @code{KTH.SE}.  @code{KTH.SE} has
889direct cross-realm set up with @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and @code{SU.SE}.
890@code{DSV.SU.SE} only has direct cross-realm set up with @code{SU.SE}.
891The goal is to allow principals in the @code{DSV.SU.SE} or
892@code{SU.SE} realms to authenticate to services in
893@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  This is done with the following
894@code{[capaths]} entry on either the server accepting authentication
895or on the KDC for @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
896
897@example
898[capaths]
899	SU.SE = @{
900                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = KTH.SE
901	@}
902	DSV.SU.SE = @{
903                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = SU.SE KTH.SE
904	@}
905@end example
906
907The first entry allows cross-realm authentication from clients in
908@code{SU.SE} transiting through @code{KTH.SE} to
909@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  The second entry allows cross-realm
910authentication from clients in @code{DSV.SU.SE} transiting through
911both @code{SU.SE} and @code{KTH.SE} to @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
912
913Be careful of which realm goes where; it's easy to put realms in the
914wrong place.  The block is tagged with the client realm (the realm of
915the principal authenticating), and the realm before the equal sign is
916the final destination realm: the realm to which the client is
917authenticating.  After the equal sign go all the realms that the
918client transits through.
919
920The order of the @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is not important when
921doing transit cross realm verification.
922
923@subsection Configuring client cross-realm transits
924
925The @code{[capaths]} section is also used for another purpose: to tell
926clients which realm to transit through to reach a realm with which
927their local realm does not have cross-realm trust.  This can be done
928by either putting a @code{[capaths]} entry in the configuration of the
929client or by putting the entry in the configuration of the KDC for the
930client's local realm.  In the latter case, the KDC will then hand back
931a referral to the client when the client requests a cross-realm ticket
932to the destination realm, telling the client to try to go through an
933intermediate realm.
934
935For client configuration, the order of @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS}
936is significant, since only the first realm in this section (after the
937equal sign) is used by the client.
938
939For example, again consider the @code{[capaths]} entry above for the
940case of a client in the @code{SU.SE} realm, and assume that the client
941or the @code{SU.SE} KDC has that @code{[capaths]} entry.  If the
942client attempts to authenticate to a service in the
943@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} realm, that entry says to first authenticate
944cross-realm to the @code{KTH.SE} realm (the first realm listed in the
945@code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} section), and then from there to
946@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
947
948Each entry in @code{[capaths]} can only give the next hop, since only
949the first realm in @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is used.  If, for
950instance, a client in @code{DSV.SU.SE} had a @code{[capaths]}
951configuration as above but without the first block for @code{SU.SE},
952they would not be able to reach @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  They would get
953as far as @code{SU.SE} based on the @code{DSV.SU.SE} entry in
954@code{[capaths]} and then attempt to go directly from there to
955@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and get stuck (unless, of course, the
956@code{SU.SE} KDC had the additional entry required to tell the client
957to go through @code{KTH.SE}).
958
959@subsection Active Directory forest example
960
961One common place where a @code{[capaths]} configuration is desirable
962is with Windows Active Directory forests.  One common Active Directory
963configuration is to have one top-level Active Directory realm but then
964divide systems, services, and users into child realms (perhaps based
965on organizational unit).  One generally establishes cross-realm trust
966only with the top-level realm, and then uses transit policy to permit
967authentications to and from the child realms.
968
969For example, suppose an organization has a Heimdal realm
970@code{EXAMPLE.COM}, a Windows Active Directory realm
971@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}, and then child Active Directory realms
972@code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}.  The
973goal is to allow users in any of these realms to authenticate to
974services in any of these realms.  The @code{EXAMPLE.COM} KDC (and
975possibly client) configuration should therefore contain a
976@code{[capaths]} section as follows:
977
978@example
979[capaths]
980	ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
981		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
982	@}
983	SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
984		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
985	@}
986	EXAMPLE.COM = @{
987		ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
988		SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
989	@}
990@end example
991
992The first two blocks allow clients in the @code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}
993and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} realms to authenticate to services in
994the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} realm.  The third block tells the client (or
995tells the KDC to tell the client via referrals) to transit through
996@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} to reach these realms.  Both sides of the
997configuration are needed for bi-directional transited cross-realm
998authentication.
999

1007@subsection Using DNS to find KDC
1008
1009If there is information about where to find the KDC or kadmind for a
1010realm in the @file{krb5.conf} for a realm, that information will be
1011preferred, and DNS will not be queried.
1012
1013Heimdal will try to use DNS to find the KDCs for a realm. First it
1014will try to find a @code{SRV} resource record (RR) for the realm. If no
1015SRV RRs are found, it will fall back to looking for an @code{A} RR for
1016a machine named kerberos.REALM, and then kerberos-1.REALM, etc
1017
1018Adding this information to DNS minimises the client configuration (in
1019the common case, resulting in no configuration needed) and allows the
1020system administrator to change the number of KDCs and on what machines
1021they are running without caring about clients.
1022
1023The downside of using DNS is that the client might be fooled to use the
1024wrong server if someone fakes DNS replies/data, but storing the IP
1025addresses of the KDC on all the clients makes it very hard to change
1026the infrastructure.
1027
1028An example of the configuration for the realm @code{EXAMPLE.COM}:
1029
1030@example
1031
1032$ORIGIN example.com.
1033_kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
1034_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
1035_kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
1036_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
1037_kpasswd._udp           SRV     10 1 464 kerberos.example.com.
1038_kerberos-adm._tcp	SRV	10 1 749 kerberos.example.com.
1039
1040@end example
1041
1042More information about DNS SRV resource records can be found in
1043RFC-2782 (A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)).
1044
1045@subsection Using DNS to map hostname to Kerberos realm
1046
1047Heimdal also supports a way to lookup a realm from a hostname. This to
1048minimise configuration needed on clients. Using this has the drawback
1049that clients can be redirected by an attacker to realms within the
1050same cross realm trust and made to believe they are talking to the
1051right server (since Kerberos authentication will succeed).
1052
1053An example configuration that informs clients that for the realms
1054it.example.com and srv.example.com, they should use the realm
1055EXAMPLE.COM:
1056
1057@example
1058
1059$ORIGIN example.com.
1060_kerberos.it		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"
1061_kerberos.srv		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"

1066@section Using LDAP to store the database
1067@cindex Using the LDAP backend
1068
1069This document describes how to install the LDAP backend for
1070Heimdal. Note that before attempting to configure such an
1071installation, you should be aware of the implications of storing
1072private information (such as users' keys) in a directory service
1073primarily designed for public information. Nonetheless, with a
1074suitable authorisation policy, it is possible to set this up in a
1075secure fashion. A knowledge of LDAP, Kerberos, and C is necessary to
1076install this backend. The HDB schema was devised by Leif Johansson.
1077
1078This assumes, OpenLDAP 2.3 or later.
1079
1080Requirements:
1081
1082@itemize @bullet
1083
1084@item
1085A current release of Heimdal, configured with
1086@code{--with-openldap=/usr/local} (adjust according to where you have
1087installed OpenLDAP).
1088
1089You can verify that you manage to configure LDAP support by running
1090@file{kdc --builtin-hdb}, and checking that @samp{ldap:} is one entry
1091in the list.
1092
1093Its also possible to configure the ldap backend as a shared module,
1094see option --hdb-openldap-module to configure.
1095
1096@item
1097Configure OpenLDAP with @kbd{--enable-local} to enable the local transport.
1098
1099@item
1100Add the hdb schema to the LDAP server, it's included in the source-tree
1101in @file{lib/hdb/hdb.schema}. Example from slapd.conf:
1102
1103@example
1104include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/hdb.schema
1105@end example
1106
1107@item
1108Configure the LDAP server ACLs to accept writes from clients over the
1109local transport. For example:
1110
1111@example
1112access to *
1113        by dn.exact="uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com" write
1114        ...
1115
1116authz-regexp "gidNumber=.*\\\+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth''
1117	"uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com"
1118
1119@end example
1120
1121The sasl-regexp is for mapping between the SASL/EXTERNAL and a user in
1122a tree.  The user that the key is mapped to should be have a
1123krb5Principal aux object with krb5PrincipalName set so that the
1124``creator'' and ``modifier'' is right in @file{kadmin}.
1125
1126Another option is to create an admins group and add the dn to that
1127group.
1128
1129Since Heimdal talks to the LDAP server over a UNIX domain socket, and
1130uses external sasl authentication, it's not possible to require
1131security layer quality (ssf in cyrus-sasl lingo). So that requirement
1132has to be turned off in OpenLDAP @command{slapd} configuration file
1133@file{slapd.conf}.
1134
1135@example
1136sasl-secprops minssf=0
1137@end example
1138
1139@item
1140
1141Start @command{slapd} with the local listener (as well as the default TCP/IP
1142listener on port 389) as follows:
1143
1144@example
1145    slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///"
1146@end example
1147
1148Note: These is a bug in @command{slapd} where it appears to corrupt the krb5Key
1149binary attribute on shutdown. This may be related to our use of the V3
1150schema definition syntax instead of the old UMich-style, V2 syntax.
1151
1152@item
1153You should specify the distinguished name under which your
1154principals will be stored in @file{krb5.conf}. Also you need to
1155enter the path to the kadmin acl file:
1156
1157
1158@example
1159[kdc]
1160        database = @{
1161                dbname = ldap:ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com
1162                hdb-ldap-structural-object = inetOrgPerson
1163                acl_file = /path/to/kadmind.acl
1164                mkey_file = /path/to/mkey
1165        @}
1166@end example
1167
1168@samp{mkey_file} can be excluded if you feel that you trust your ldap
1169directory to have the raw keys inside it.  The
1170hdb-ldap-structural-object is not necessary if you do not need Samba
1171comatibility.
1172
1173
1174
1175@item
1176Once you have built Heimdal and started the LDAP server, run kadmin
1177(as usual) to initialise the database. Note that the instructions for
1178stashing a master key are as per any Heimdal installation.
1179
1180@example
1181kdc# kadmin -l
1182kadmin> init EXAMPLE.COM
1183Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
1184Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
1185kadmin> add lukeh
1186Max ticket life [1 day]:
1187Max renewable life [1 week]:
1188Principal expiration time [never]:
1189Password expiration time [never]:
1190Attributes []:
1191lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1192Verifying password - lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1193kadmin> exit
1194@end example
1195
1196Verify that the principal database has indeed been stored in the
1197directory with the following command:
1198
1199@example
1200kdc# ldapsearch -L -h localhost -D cn=manager \
1201 -w secret -b ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com \
1202 'objectclass=krb5KDCEntry'
1203@end example
1204
1205@item
1206Now consider adding indexes to the database to speed up the access, at
1207least theses should be added to slapd.conf.
1208
1209@example
1210index	objectClass		eq
1211index	cn			eq,sub,pres
1212index	uid			eq,sub,pres
1213index	displayName		eq,sub,pres
1214index	krb5PrincipalName	eq

1240will be your first and only chance name your Kerberos realm without
1241needing to deal with old configuration files.
1242
1243First, you should set up Samba and get that working with LDAP backend.
1244
1245Now you can proceed as in @xref{Using LDAP to store the database}.
1246Heimdal will pick up the Samba LDAP entries if they are in the same
1247search space as the Kerberos entries.
1248
1249@node Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up PK-INIT, Using LDAP to store the database, Setting up a realm
1250@section Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs
1251
1252Some services require Kerberos credentials when they start to make
1253connections to other services or need to use them when they have started.
1254
1255The easiest way to get tickets for a service is to store the key in a
1256keytab. Both ktutil get and kadmin ext can be used to get a
1257keytab. ktutil get is better in that way it changes the key/password
1258for the user. This is also the problem with ktutil. If ktutil is used
1259for the same service principal on several hosts, they keytab will only
1260be useful on the last host. In that case, run the extract command on
1261one host and then securely copy the keytab around to all other hosts
1262that need it.
1263
1264@example
1265host# ktutil -k /etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1266      get -p lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1267lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG's Password:
1268@end example
1269
1270To get a Kerberos credential file for the service, use kinit in the
1271@kbd{--keytab} mode. This will not ask for a password but instead fetch the
1272key from the keytab.
1273
1274@example
1275service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1276               --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1277       service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1278@end example
1279
1280Long running services might need credentials longer then the
1281expiration time of the tickets. kinit can run in a mode that refreshes
1282the tickets before they expire. This is useful for services that write
1283into AFS and other distributed file systems using Kerberos. To run the
1284long running script, just append the program and arguments (if any)
1285after the principal. kinit will stop refreshing credentials and remove
1286the credentials when the script-to-start-service exits.
1287
1288@example
1289service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1290       --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \

1296@node Setting up PK-INIT, Debugging Kerberos problems, Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up a realm
1297@section Setting up PK-INIT
1298
1299PK-INIT leverages an existing PKI (public key infrastructure), using
1300certificates to get the initial ticket (usually the krbtgt
1301ticket-granting ticket).
1302
1303To use PK-INIT you must first have a PKI. If you don't have one, it is
1304time to create it. You should first read the whole chapter of the
1305document to see the requirements imposed on the CA software.
1306
1307A mapping between the PKI certificate and what principals that
1308certificate is allowed to use must exist. There are several ways to do
1309this. The administrator can use a configuration file, store the
1310principal in the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate, or store
1311the mapping in the principals entry in the kerberos database.
1312
1313@section Certificates
1314
1315This section documents the requirements on the KDC and client
1316certificates and the format used in the id-pkinit-san OtherName
1317extention.
1318
1319@subsection KDC certificate
1320
1321The certificate for the KDC has serveral requirements.
1322
1323First, the certificate should have an Extended Key Usage (EKU)
1324id-pkkdcekuoid (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5) set. Second, there must be a
1325subjectAltName otherName using OID id-pkinit-san (1.3.6.1.5.2.2) in
1326the type field and a DER encoded KRB5PrincipalName that matches the
1327name of the TGS of the target realm.  Also, if the certificate has a
1328nameConstraints extention with a Generalname with dNSName or iPAdress,
1329it must match the hostname or adress of the KDC.
1330
1331The client is not required by the standard to check the server
1332certificate for this information if the client has external
1333information confirming which certificate the KDC is supposed to be
1334using. However, adding this information to the KDC certificate removes
1335the need to specially configure the client to recognize the KDC
1336certificate.
1337
1338Remember that if the client would accept any certificate as the KDC's
1339certificate, the client could be fooled into trusting something that
1340isn't a KDC and thus expose the user to giving away information (like
1341a password or other private information) that it is supposed to keep
1342secret.
1343
1344@subsection Client certificate
1345
1346The client certificate may need to have a EKU id-pkekuoid
1347(1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4) set depending on the certifiate on the KDC.
1348
1349It possible to store the principal (if allowed by the KDC) in the
1350certificate and thus delegate responsibility to do the mapping between
1351certificates and principals to the CA.
1352
1353This behavior is controlled by KDC configuration option:
1354
1355@example
1356[kdc]
1357	pkinit_principal_in_certificate = yes
1358@end example
1359
1360@subsubsection Using KRB5PrincipalName in id-pkinit-san
1361
1362The OtherName extention in the GeneralName is used to do the mapping
1363between certificate and principal.  For the KDC certificate, this
1364stores the krbtgt principal name for that KDC.  For the client
1365certificate, this stores the principal for which that certificate is
1366allowed to get tickets.
1367
1368The principal is stored in a SubjectAltName in the certificate using
1369OtherName. The OID in the type is id-pkinit-san.
1370
1371@example
1372id-pkinit-san OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= @{ iso (1) org (3) dod (6)
1373internet (1) security (5) kerberosv5 (2) 2 @}
1374@end example
1375
1376The data part of the OtherName is filled with the following DER
1377encoded ASN.1 structure:
1378
1379@example
1380KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE @{
1381	realm [0] Realm,
1382	principalName [1] PrincipalName
1383@}
1384@end example
1385
1386where Realm and PrincipalName is defined by the Kerberos ASN.1
1387specification.
1388
1389@section Naming certificate using hx509
1390
1391hx509 is the X.509 software used in Heimdal to handle
1392certificates. hx509 supports several different syntaxes for specifying
1393certificate files or formats. Several formats may be used:  PEM,
1394certificates embedded in PKCS#12 files, certificates embedded in
1395PKCS#11 devices, and raw DER encoded certificates.
1396
1397Those formats may be specified as follows:
1398
1399@table @asis
1400
1401@item DIR:
1402
1403DIR specifies a directory which contains certificates in the DER or
1404PEM format.
1405
1406The main feature of DIR is that the directory is read on demand when
1407iterating over certificates. This allows applications, in some
1408situations, to avoid having to store all certificates in memory.  It's
1409very useful for tests that iterate over large numbers of certificates.
1410
1411The syntax is:
1412
1413@example
1414DIR:/path/to/der/files
1415@end example
1416
1417@item FILE:
1418
1419FILE: specifies a file that contains a certificate or private key.
1420The file can be either a PEM (openssl) file or a raw DER encoded
1421certificate. If it's a PEM file, it can contain several keys and
1422certificates and the code will try to match the private key and
1423certificate together. Multiple files may be specified, separated by
1424commas.
1425
1426It's useful to have one PEM file that contains all the trust anchors.
1427
1428The syntax is:
1429
1430@example
1431FILE:certificate.pem,private-key.key,other-cert.pem,....
1432@end example
1433
1434@item PKCS11:
1435
1436PKCS11: is used to handle smartcards via PKCS#11 drivers, such as
1437soft-token, opensc, or muscle. The argument specifies a shared object
1438that implements the PKCS#11 API. The default is to use all slots on
1439the device/token.
1440
1441The syntax is:
1442
1443@example
1444PKCS11:shared-object.so
1445@end example
1446
1447@item PKCS12:
1448
1449PKCS12: is used to handle PKCS#12 files. PKCS#12 files commonly have
1450the extension pfx or p12.
1451
1452The syntax is:
1453
1454@example
1455PKCS12:/path/to/file.pfx
1456@end example
1457
1458@end table
1459
1460@section Configure the Kerberos software
1461
1462First configure the client's trust anchors and what parameters to
1463verify. See the subsections below for how to do that. Then, you can
1464use kinit to get yourself tickets. For example:
1465
1466@example
1467$ kinit -C FILE:$HOME/.certs/lha.crt,$HOME/.certs/lha.key lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1468Enter your private key passphrase:
1469: lha@@nutcracker ; klist

1546hxtool issue-certificate \
1547    --self-signed \
1548    --issue-ca \
1549    --generate-key=rsa \
1550    --subject="CN=CA,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \

1552    --certificate="FILE:ca.pem"
1553@end example
1554
1555The KDC needs to have a certificate, so generate a certificate of the
1556type ``pkinit-kdc'' and set the PK-INIT specifial SubjectAltName to the
1557name of the krbtgt of the realm.
1558
1559You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1560below to something appropriate for your site.
1561
1562@example
1563hxtool issue-certificate \
1564    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1565    --generate-key=rsa \
1566    --type="pkinit-kdc" \
1567    --pk-init-principal="krbtgt/TEST.H5L.SE@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1568    --subject="uid=kdc,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1569    --certificate="FILE:kdc.pem"
1570@end example
1571
1572The users also needs to have certificates. For your first client,
1573generate a certificate of type ``pkinit-client''. The client doesn't
1574need to have the PK-INIT SubjectAltName set; you can have the Subject
1575DN in the ACL file (pki-mapping) instead.
1576
1577You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1578below to something appropriate for your site. You can omit
1579--pk-init-principal if you're going to use the ACL file instead.
1580
1581@example
1582hxtool issue-certificate \
1583    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1584    --generate-key=rsa \
1585    --type="pkinit-client" \
1586    --pk-init-principal="lha@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1587    --subject="uid=lha,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1588    --certificate="FILE:user.pem"
1589@end example
1590
1591@subsection Validate the certificate
1592
1593hxtool also contains a tool that will validate certificates according
1594to rules from the PKIX document. These checks are not complete, but
1595they provide a good test of whether you got all of the basic bits
1596right in your certificates.
1597
1598@example
1599hxtool validate FILE:user.pem
1600@end example

1602@section Use OpenSSL to create certificates
1603
1604This section tries to give the CA owners hints how to create
1605certificates using OpenSSL (or CA software based on OpenSSL).
1606
1607@subsection Using OpenSSL to create certificates with krb5PrincipalName
1608
1609To make OpenSSL create certificates with krb5PrincipalName, use an
1610@file{openssl.cnf} as described below. To see a complete example of
1611creating client and KDC certificates, see the test-data generation
1612script @file{lib/hx509/data/gen-req.sh} in the source-tree. The
1613certicates it creates are used to test the PK-INIT functionality in
1614@file{tests/kdc/check-kdc.in}.
1615
1616To use this example you have to use OpenSSL 0.9.8a or later.
1617
1618@example
1619
1620[user_certificate]
1621subjectAltName=otherName:1.3.6.1.5.2.2;SEQUENCE:princ_name
1622
1623[princ_name]
1624realm = EXP:0, GeneralString:MY.REALM
1625principal_name = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principal_seq
1626
1627[principal_seq]
1628name_type = EXP:0, INTEGER:1
1629name_string = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principals
1630
1631[principals]
1632princ1 = GeneralString:userid
1633
1634@end example
1635
1636Command usage:
1637
1638@example
1639openssl x509 -extensions user_certificate
1640openssl ca -extensions user_certificate
1641@end example
1642
1643
1644@c --- ms certificate
1645@c

1650@c [ req_smartcard ]
1651@c keyUsage                = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
1652@c extendedKeyUsage        = msSmartcardLogin, clientAuth
1653@c msCertificateTemplateName       = ASN1:BMP:SmartcardLogon
1654@c subjectAltName          = otherName:msUPN;UTF8:lukeh@dsg.padl.com

1658@section Using PK-INIT with Windows
1659
1660@subsection Client configration
1661
1662Clients using a Windows KDC with PK-INIT need configuration since
1663windows uses pre-standard format and this can't be autodetected.
1664
1665The pkinit_win2k_require_binding option requires the reply for the KDC
1666to be of the new, secure, type that binds the request to
1667reply. Before, clients could fake the reply from the KDC. To use this
1668option you have to apply a fix from Microsoft.
1669
1670@example
1671[realms]
1672        MY.MS.REALM = @{
1673                pkinit_win2k = yes
1674                pkinit_win2k_require_binding = no
1675	@}
1676@end example
1677
1678@subsection Certificates
1679
1680The client certificates need to have the extended keyusage ``Microsoft
1681Smartcardlogin'' (openssl has the OID shortname msSmartcardLogin).
1682
1683See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 281245 ``Guidelines for Enabling
1684Smart Card Logon with Third-Party Certification Authorities'' for a
1685more extensive description of how set setup an external CA so that it
1686includes all the information required to make a Windows KDC happy.
1687
1688@subsection Configure Windows 2000 CA
1689
1690To enable Microsoft Smartcardlogin for certificates in your Windows
16912000 CA, you want to look at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 313274
1692``HOW TO: Configure a Certification Authority to Issue Smart Card
1693Certificates in Windows''.

1698To debug Kerberos client and server problems you can enable debug
1699traceing by adding the following to @file{/etc/krb5,conf}. Note that the
1700trace logging is sparse at the moment, but will continue to improve.
