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.

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

184  Issued           Expires          Principal
185Aug 25 07:25:55  Aug 25 17:25:55  krbtgt/MY.REALM@@MY.REALM
186@end example
187
188If you are curious you can use the @samp{dump} command to list all the
189entries in the database.  It should look something similar to the
190following example (note that the entries here are truncated for
191typographical reasons):
192
193@smallexample
194kadmin> dump
195me@@MY.REALM 1:0:1:0b01d3cb7c293b57:-:0:7:8aec316b9d1629e3baf8 ...

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

263@node Checking the setup, keytabs, Modifying the database, Setting up a realm
264@section Checking the setup
265
266There are two tools that can check the consistency of the Kerberos
267configuration file and the Kerberos database.
268
269The Kerberos configuration file is checked using
270@command{verify_krb5_conf}. The tool checks for common errors, but
271commonly there are several uncommon configuration entries that are
272never added to the tool and thus generates ``unknown entry'' warnings.
273This is usually nothing to worry about.
274
275The database check is built into the kadmin tool. It will check for
276common configuration error that will cause problems later. Common
277check are for existence and flags on important principals. The
278database check by run by the following command :
279
280@example
281kadmin -l check REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
282@end example
283
284@node keytabs, Remote administration, Checking the setup, Setting up a realm
285@section keytabs
286
287To extract a service ticket from the database and put it in a keytab, you
288need to first create the principal in the database with @samp{add}
289(using the @kbd{--random-key} flag to get a random key) and then
290extract it with @samp{ext_keytab}.
291
292@example
293kadmin> add --random-key host/my.host.name
294Max ticket life [unlimited]:
295Max renewable life [unlimited]:
296Attributes []:
297kadmin> ext host/my.host.name

307@node Remote administration, Password changing, keytabs, Setting up a realm
308@section Remote administration
309
310The administration server, @command{kadmind}, can be started by
311@command{inetd} (which isn't recommended) or run as a normal daemon. If you
312want to start it from @command{inetd} you should add a line similar to the
313one below to your @file{/etc/inetd.conf}.
314
315@example
316kerberos-adm stream     tcp     nowait  root /usr/heimdal/libexec/kadmind kadmind
317@end example
318
319You might need to add @samp{kerberos-adm} to your @file{/etc/services}
320as @samp{749/tcp}.
321
322Access to the administration server is controlled by an ACL file,
323(default @file{/var/heimdal/kadmind.acl}.) The file has the following
324syntax:
325@smallexample
326principal       [priv1,priv2,...]       [glob-pattern]
327@end smallexample
328
329The matching is from top to bottom for matching principals (and if given,
330glob-pattern).  When there is a match, the access rights of that line are
331applied.
332
333The privileges you can assign to a principal are: @samp{add},
334@samp{change-password} (or @samp{cpw} for short), @samp{delete},
335@samp{get}, @samp{list}, and @samp{modify}, or the special privilege
336@samp{all}. All of these roughly correspond to the different commands
337in @command{kadmin}.
338
339If a @var{glob-pattern} is given on a line, it restricts the access
340rights for the principal to only apply for subjects that match the
341pattern.  The patterns are of the same type as those used in shell
342globbing, see @url{none,,fnmatch(3)}.
343
344In the example below @samp{lha/admin} can change every principal in the
345database. @samp{jimmy/admin} can only modify principals that belong to
346the realm @samp{E.KTH.SE}. @samp{mille/admin} is working at the
347help desk, so he should only be able to change the passwords for single
348component principals (ordinary users). He will not be able to change any
349@samp{/admin} principal.
350
351@example
352lha/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all
353jimmy/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all		*@@E.KTH.SE
354jimmy/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all		*/*@@E.KTH.SE

357
358@node Password changing, Testing clients and servers, Remote administration, Setting up a realm
359@section Password changing
360
361To allow users to change their passwords, you should run @command{kpasswdd}.
362It is not run from @command{inetd}.
363
364You might need to add @samp{kpasswd} to your @file{/etc/services} as
365@samp{464/udp}.  If your realm is not setup to use DNS, you might also
366need to add a @samp{kpasswd_server} entry to the realm configuration
367in @file{/etc/krb5.conf} on client machines:
368
369@example
370[realms]
371        MY.REALM = @{
372                kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
373                kpasswd_server = my.kdc
374        @}
375@end example
376
377@subsection Password quality assurance
378
379It is important that users have good passwords, both to make it harder
380to guess them and to avoid off-line attacks (although
381pre-authentication provides some defence against off-line attacks).
382To ensure that the users choose good passwords, you can enable
383password quality controls in @command{kpasswdd} and @command{kadmind}.
384The controls themselves are done in a shared library or an external
385program that is used by @command{kpasswdd}.  To configure in these
386controls, add lines similar to the following to your
387@file{/etc/krb5.conf}:
388
389@example
390[password_quality]
391	policies = external-check builtin:minimum-length modulename:policyname
392	external_program = /bin/false
393	policy_libraries = @var{library1.so} @var{library2.so}
394@end example
395
396In @samp{[password_quality]policies} the module name is optional if
397the policy name is unique in all modules (members of
398@samp{policy_libraries}).  All built-in policies can be qualified with
399a module name of @samp{builtin} to unambiguously specify the built-in
400policy and not a policy by the same name from a loaded module.
401
402The built-in policies are
403
404@itemize @bullet
405
406@item external-check
407
408Executes the program specified by @samp{[password_quality]external_program}.
409
410A number of key/value pairs are passed as input to the program, one per
411line, ending with the string @samp{end}.  The key/value lines are of
412the form
413@example
414principal: @var{principal}
415new-password: @var{password}
416@end example
417where @var{password} is the password to check for the previous
418@var{principal}.
419
420If the external application approves the password, it should return
421@samp{APPROVED} on standard out and exit with exit code 0.  If it
422doesn't approve the password, an one line error message explaining the
423problem should be returned on standard error and the application
424should exit with exit code 0.  In case of a fatal error, the
425application should, if possible, print an error message on standard
426error and exit with a non-zero error code.
427
428@item minimum-length
429
430The minimum length password quality check reads the configuration file
431stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_length} and requires the password
432to be at least this length.
433
434@item character-class
435
436The character-class password quality check reads the configuration
437file stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_classes}. The policy requires
438the password to have characters from at least that many character
439classes. Default value if not given is 3.
440
441The four different characters classes are, uppercase, lowercase,
442number, special characters.
443
444@end itemize
445
446If you want to write your own shared object to check password
447policies, see the manual page @manpage{kadm5_pwcheck,3}.
448
449Code for a password quality checking function that uses the cracklib
450library can be found in @file{lib/kadm5/sample_password_check.c} in
451the source code distribution.  It requires that the cracklib library
452be built with the patch available at
453@url{ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/cracklib.patch}.
454
455A sample policy external program is included in
456@file{lib/kadm5/check-cracklib.pl}.
457
458If no password quality checking function is configured, the only check
459performed is that the password is at least six characters long.
460
461To check the password policy settings, use the command
462@command{verify-password-quality} in @command{kadmin} program. The password
463verification is only performed locally, on the client.  It may be
464convenient to set the environment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG} to point
465to a test version of @file{krb5.conf} while you're testing the
466@samp{[password_quality]} stanza that way.

475@section Slave servers, Incremental propagation, Testing clients and servers, Setting up a realm
476
477It is desirable to have at least one backup (slave) server in case the
478master server fails. It is possible to have any number of such slave
479servers but more than three usually doesn't buy much more redundancy.
480
481All Kerberos servers for a realm must have the same database so that
482they present the same service to the users.  The
483@pindex hprop
484@command{hprop} program, running on the master, will propagate the database
485to the slaves, running
486@pindex hpropd
487@command{hpropd} processes.
488
489Every slave needs a database directory, the master key (if it was used
490for the database) and a keytab with the principal
491@samp{hprop/@var{hostname}}.  Add the principal with the
492@pindex ktutil
493@command{ktutil} command and start
494@pindex hpropd
495@command{hpropd}, as follows:
496
497@example
498slave# ktutil get -p foo/admin hprop/`hostname`
499slave# mkdir /var/heimdal
500slave# hpropd
501@end example
502
503The master will use the principal @samp{kadmin/hprop} to authenticate to
504the slaves.  This principal should be added when running @kbd{kadmin -l
505init} but if you do not have it in your database for whatever reason,
506please add it with @kbd{kadmin -l add}.
507
508Then run
509@pindex hprop
510@code{hprop} on the master:
511
512@example
513master# hprop slave
514@end example
515
516This was just an hands-on example to make sure that everything was
517working properly.  Doing it manually is of course the wrong way, and to
518automate this you will want to start
519@pindex hpropd
520@command{hpropd} from @command{inetd} on the slave(s) and regularly run
521@pindex hprop
522@command{hprop} on the master to regularly propagate the database.
523Starting the propagation once an hour from @command{cron} is probably a
524good idea.
525
526@node Incremental propagation, Encryption types and salting, Slave Servers, Setting up a realm
527@section Incremental propagation
528
529There is also a newer mechanism for
530doing incremental propagation in Heimdal.  Instead of sending the whole
531database regularly, it sends the changes as they happen on the master to
532the slaves.  The master keeps track of all the changes by assigning a
533version number to every change to the database.  The slaves know which
534was the latest version they saw and in this way it can be determined if
535they are in sync or not.  A log of all the changes is kept on the master,
536and when a slave is at an older version than the oldest one in the
537log, the whole database has to be sent.
538
539Protocol-wise, all the slaves connect to the master and as a greeting
540tell it the latest version that they have (@samp{IHAVE} message).  The
541master then responds by sending all the changes between that version and
542the current version at the master (a series of @samp{FORYOU} messages)
543or the whole database in a @samp{TELLYOUEVERYTHING} message.  There is
544also a keep-alive protocol that makes sure all slaves are up and running.
545
546In addition on listening on the network to get connection from new
547slaves, the ipropd-master also listens on a status unix
548socket. kadmind and kpasswdd both open that socket when a transation
549is done and written a notification to the socket. That cause
550ipropd-master to check for new version in the log file. As a fallback in
551case a notification is lost by the unix socket, the log file is
552checked after 30 seconds of no event.
553
554@subsection Configuring incremental propagation
555
556The program that runs on the master is @command{ipropd-master} and all
557clients run @command{ipropd-slave}.
558
559Create the file @file{/var/heimdal/slaves} on the master containing all
560the slaves that the database should be propagated to.  Each line contains
561the full name of the principal (for example
562@samp{iprop/hemligare.foo.se@@FOO.SE}).
563
564You should already have @samp{iprop/tcp} defined as 2121, in your
565@file{/etc/services}.  Otherwise, or if you need to use a different port
566for some peculiar reason, you can use the @kbd{--port} option.  This is
567useful when you have multiple realms to distribute from one server.
568
569Then you need to create those principals that you added in the
570configuration file.  Create one @samp{iprop/hostname} for the master and
571for every slave.
572
573
574@example
575master# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
576@end example
577
578@example
579slave# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
580@end example
581
582
583The next step is to start the @command{ipropd-master} process on the master
584server.  The @command{ipropd-master} listens on the UNIX domain socket
585@file{/var/heimdal/signal} to know when changes have been made to the
586database so they can be propagated to the slaves.  There is also a
587safety feature of testing the version number regularly (every 30
588seconds) to see if it has been modified by some means that do not raise
589this signal.  Then, start @command{ipropd-slave} on all the slaves:
590
591@example
592master# /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-master &
593slave#  /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-slave master &
594@end example
595
596To manage the iprop log file you should use the @command{iprop-log}
597command. With it you can dump, truncate and replay the logfile.

600@section Encryption types and salting
601@cindex Salting
602@cindex Encryption types
603
604The encryption types that the KDC is going to assign by default is
605possible to change. Since the keys used for user authentication is
606salted the encryption types are described together with the salt
607strings.
608
609Salting is used to make it harder to pre-calculate all possible
610keys. Using a salt increases the search space to make it almost
611impossible to pre-calculate all keys. Salting is the process of mixing a
612public string (the salt) with the password, then sending it through an
613encryption type specific string-to-key function that will output the
614fixed size encryption key.
615
616In Kerberos 5 the salt is determined by the encryption type, except in
617some special cases.
618
619In @code{des} there is the Kerberos 4 salt
620(none at all) or the afs-salt (using the cell (realm in
621AFS lingo)).
622
623In @code{arcfour} (the encryption type that Microsoft Windows 2000 uses)
624there is no salt. This is to be compatible with NTLM keys in Windows
625NT 4.
626
627@code{[kadmin]default_keys} in @file{krb5.conf} controls
628what salting to use.
629
630The syntax of @code{[kadmin]default_keys} is
631@samp{[etype:]salt-type[:salt-string]}. @samp{etype} is the encryption
632type (des-cbc-crc, arcfour-hmac-md5, aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96),
633@code{salt-type} is the type of salt (pw-salt or afs3-salt), and the
634salt-string is the string that will be used as salt (remember that if
635the salt is appended/prepended, the empty salt "" is the same thing as
636no salt at all).
637
638Common types of salting include
639
640@itemize @bullet
641@item @code{v4} (or @code{des:pw-salt:})
642
643The Kerberos 4 salting is using no salt at all. Reason there is colon
644at the end of the salt string is that it makes the salt the empty
645string (same as no salt).
646
647@item @code{v5} (or @code{pw-salt})
648
649@code{pw-salt} uses the default salt for each encryption type is
650specified for. If the encryption type @samp{etype} isn't given, all
651default encryption will be used.
652
653@item @code{afs3-salt}
654
655@code{afs3-salt} is the salt that is used with Transarc kaserver. It's
656the cell name appended to the password.

665When KCM running is easy for users to switch between different
666kerberos principals using @file{kswitch} or built in support in
667application, like OpenSSH's GSSAPIClientIdentity.
668
669Other advantages are that there is the long term credentials are not
670written to disk and on reboot the credential is removed when kcm
671process stopps running.
672
673Configure the system startup script to start the kcm process,
674@file{/usr/heimdal/libexec/kcm} and then configure the system to use kcm in @file{krb5.conf}.
675
676@example
677[libdefaults]
678	default_cc_type = KCM
679@end example
680
681Now when you run @command{kinit} it doesn't overwrite your existing
682credentials but rather just add them to the set of
683credentials. @command{klist -l} lists the credentials and the star
684marks the default credential.
685

694
695When switching between credentials you can use @command{kswitch}.

703@end example
704
705After switching, a new set of credentials are used as default.

712@end example
713
714Som applications, like openssh with Simon Wilkinsons patch applied,
715support specifiying that credential to use.  The example below will

730@section Cross realm
731@cindex Cross realm
732
733Suppose you reside in the realm @samp{MY.REALM}, how do you
734authenticate to a server in @samp{OTHER.REALM}? Having valid tickets in
735@samp{MY.REALM} allows you to communicate with Kerberised services in that
736realm. However, the computer in the other realm does not have a secret
737key shared with the Kerberos server in your realm.
738
739It is possible to share keys between two realms that trust each
740other. When a client program, such as @command{telnet} or @command{ssh},
741finds that the other computer is in a different realm, it will try to
742get a ticket granting ticket for that other realm, but from the local
743Kerberos server. With that ticket granting ticket, it will then obtain
744service tickets from the Kerberos server in the other realm.
745
746For a two way trust between @samp{MY.REALM} and @samp{OTHER.REALM}
747add the following principals to each realm. The principals should be
748@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM} and
749@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} in @samp{MY.REALM}, and
750@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} and
751@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM}in @samp{OTHER.REALM}.
752
753In Kerberos 5 the trust can be configured to be one way. So that
754users from @samp{MY.REALM} can authenticate to services in
755@samp{OTHER.REALM}, but not the opposite. In the example above, the
756@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} then should be removed.
757
758The two principals must have the same key, key version number, and the
759same set of encryption types. Remember to transfer the two keys in a
760safe manner.

792@node Transit policy, Setting up DNS, Cross realm, Setting up a realm
793@section Transit policy
794@cindex Transit policy
795
796Under some circumstances, you may not wish to set up direct
797cross-realm trust with every realm to which you wish to authenticate
798or from which you wish to accept authentications. Kerberos supports
799multi-hop cross-realm trust where a client principal in realm A
800authenticates to a service in realm C through a realm B with which
801both A and C have cross-realm trust relationships. In this situation,
802A and C need not set up cross-realm principals between each other.
803
804If you want to use cross-realm authentication through an intermediate
805realm, it must be explicitly allowed by either the KDCs for the realm
806to which the client is authenticating (in this case, realm C), or the
807server receiving the request. This is done in @file{krb5.conf} in the
808@code{[capaths]} section.
809
810In addition, the client in realm A need to be configured to know how
811to reach realm C via realm B. This can be done either on the client or
812via KDC configuration in the KDC for realm A.
813
814@subsection Allowing cross-realm transits
815
816When the ticket transits through a realm to another realm, the
817destination realm adds its peer to the "transited-realms" field in the
818ticket. The field is unordered, since there is no way to know if know
819if one of the transited-realms changed the order of the list. For the
820authentication to be accepted by the final destination realm, all of
821the transited realms must be listed as trusted in the @code{[capaths]}
822configuration, either in the KDC for the destination realm or on the
823server receiving the authentication.
824
825The syntax for @code{[capaths]} section is:
826
827@example
828[capaths]
829        CLIENT-REALM = @{
830                SERVER-REALM = PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS ...
831        @}
832@end example
833
834In the following example, the realm @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} only has
835direct cross-realm set up with @code{KTH.SE}.  @code{KTH.SE} has
836direct cross-realm set up with @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and @code{SU.SE}.
837@code{DSV.SU.SE} only has direct cross-realm set up with @code{SU.SE}.
838The goal is to allow principals in the @code{DSV.SU.SE} or
839@code{SU.SE} realms to authenticate to services in
840@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  This is done with the following
841@code{[capaths]} entry on either the server accepting authentication
842or on the KDC for @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
843
844@example
845[capaths]
846	SU.SE = @{
847                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = KTH.SE
848	@}
849	DSV.SU.SE = @{
850                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = SU.SE KTH.SE
851	@}
852@end example
853
854The first entry allows cross-realm authentication from clients in
855@code{SU.SE} transiting through @code{KTH.SE} to
856@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  The second entry allows cross-realm
857authentication from clients in @code{DSV.SU.SE} transiting through
858both @code{SU.SE} and @code{KTH.SE} to @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
859
860Be careful of which realm goes where; it's easy to put realms in the
861wrong place.  The block is tagged with the client realm (the realm of
862the principal authenticating), and the realm before the equal sign is
863the final destination realm: the realm to which the client is
864authenticating.  After the equal sign go all the realms that the
865client transits through.
866
867The order of the @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is not important when
868doing transit cross realm verification.
869
870@subsection Configuring client cross-realm transits
871
872The @code{[capaths]} section is also used for another purpose: to tell
873clients which realm to transit through to reach a realm with which
874their local realm does not have cross-realm trust.  This can be done
875by either putting a @code{[capaths]} entry in the configuration of the
876client or by putting the entry in the configuration of the KDC for the
877client's local realm.  In the latter case, the KDC will then hand back
878a referral to the client when the client requests a cross-realm ticket
879to the destination realm, telling the client to try to go through an
880intermediate realm.
881
882For client configuration, the order of @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS}
883is significant, since only the first realm in this section (after the
884equal sign) is used by the client.
885
886For example, again consider the @code{[capaths]} entry above for the
887case of a client in the @code{SU.SE} realm, and assume that the client
888or the @code{SU.SE} KDC has that @code{[capaths]} entry.  If the
889client attempts to authenticate to a service in the
890@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} realm, that entry says to first authenticate
891cross-realm to the @code{KTH.SE} realm (the first realm listed in the
892@code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} section), and then from there to
893@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
894
895Each entry in @code{[capaths]} can only give the next hop, since only
896the first realm in @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is used.  If, for
897instance, a client in @code{DSV.SU.SE} had a @code{[capaths]}
898configuration as above but without the first block for @code{SU.SE},
899they would not be able to reach @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  They would get
900as far as @code{SU.SE} based on the @code{DSV.SU.SE} entry in
901@code{[capaths]} and then attempt to go directly from there to
902@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and get stuck (unless, of course, the
903@code{SU.SE} KDC had the additional entry required to tell the client
904to go through @code{KTH.SE}).
905
906@subsection Active Directory forest example
907
908One common place where a @code{[capaths]} configuration is desirable
909is with Windows Active Directory forests.  One common Active Directory
910configuration is to have one top-level Active Directory realm but then
911divide systems, services, and users into child realms (perhaps based
912on organizational unit).  One generally establishes cross-realm trust
913only with the top-level realm, and then uses transit policy to permit
914authentications to and from the child realms.
915
916For example, suppose an organization has a Heimdal realm
917@code{EXAMPLE.COM}, a Windows Active Directory realm
918@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}, and then child Active Directory realms
919@code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}.  The
920goal is to allow users in any of these realms to authenticate to
921services in any of these realms.  The @code{EXAMPLE.COM} KDC (and
922possibly client) configuration should therefore contain a
923@code{[capaths]} section as follows:
924
925@example
926[capaths]
927	ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
928		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
929	@}
930	SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
931		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
932	@}
933	EXAMPLE.COM = @{
934		ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
935		SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
936	@}
937@end example
938
939The first two blocks allow clients in the @code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}
940and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} realms to authenticate to services in
941the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} realm.  The third block tells the client (or
942tells the KDC to tell the client via referrals) to transit through
943@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} to reach these realms.  Both sides of the
944configuration are needed for bi-directional transited cross-realm
945authentication.
946
947@c To test the cross realm configuration, use:

953
954@subsection Using DNS to find KDC
955
956If there is information about where to find the KDC or kadmind for a
957realm in the @file{krb5.conf} for a realm, that information will be
958preferred, and DNS will not be queried.
959
960Heimdal will try to use DNS to find the KDCs for a realm. First it
961will try to find a @code{SRV} resource record (RR) for the realm. If no
962SRV RRs are found, it will fall back to looking for an @code{A} RR for
963a machine named kerberos.REALM, and then kerberos-1.REALM, etc
964
965Adding this information to DNS minimises the client configuration (in
966the common case, resulting in no configuration needed) and allows the
967system administrator to change the number of KDCs and on what machines
968they are running without caring about clients.
969
970The downside of using DNS is that the client might be fooled to use the
971wrong server if someone fakes DNS replies/data, but storing the IP
972addresses of the KDC on all the clients makes it very hard to change
973the infrastructure.
974
975An example of the configuration for the realm @code{EXAMPLE.COM}:
976
977@example
978
979$ORIGIN example.com.
980_kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
981_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
982_kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
983_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
984_kpasswd._udp           SRV     10 1 464 kerberos.example.com.
985_kerberos-adm._tcp	SRV	10 1 749 kerberos.example.com.
986
987@end example
988
989More information about DNS SRV resource records can be found in
990RFC-2782 (A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)).
991
992@subsection Using DNS to map hostname to Kerberos realm
993
994Heimdal also supports a way to lookup a realm from a hostname. This to
995minimise configuration needed on clients. Using this has the drawback
996that clients can be redirected by an attacker to realms within the
997same cross realm trust and made to believe they are talking to the
998right server (since Kerberos authentication will succeed).
999
1000An example configuration that informs clients that for the realms
1001it.example.com and srv.example.com, they should use the realm
1002EXAMPLE.COM:
1003
1004@example
1005
1006$ORIGIN example.com.
1007_kerberos.it		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"
1008_kerberos.srv		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"

1014@cindex Using the LDAP backend
1015
1016This document describes how to install the LDAP backend for
1017Heimdal. Note that before attempting to configure such an
1018installation, you should be aware of the implications of storing
1019private information (such as users' keys) in a directory service
1020primarily designed for public information. Nonetheless, with a
1021suitable authorisation policy, it is possible to set this up in a
1022secure fashion. A knowledge of LDAP, Kerberos, and C is necessary to
1023install this backend. The HDB schema was devised by Leif Johansson.
1024
1025This assumes, OpenLDAP 2.3 or later.
1026
1027Requirements:
1028
1029@itemize @bullet
1030
1031@item
1032A current release of Heimdal, configured with
1033@code{--with-openldap=/usr/local} (adjust according to where you have
1034installed OpenLDAP).
1035
1036You can verify that you manage to configure LDAP support by running
1037@file{kdc --builtin-hdb}, and checking that @samp{ldap:} is one entry
1038in the list.
1039
1040Its also possible to configure the ldap backend as a shared module,
1041see option --hdb-openldap-module to configure.
1042
1043@item
1044Configure OpenLDAP with @kbd{--enable-local} to enable the local transport.
1045
1046@item
1047Add the hdb schema to the LDAP server, it's included in the source-tree
1048in @file{lib/hdb/hdb.schema}. Example from slapd.conf:
1049
1050@example
1051include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/hdb.schema
1052@end example
1053
1054@item
1055Configure the LDAP server ACLs to accept writes from clients over the
1056local transport. For example:
1057
1058@example
1059access to *
1060        by dn.exact="uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com" write
1061        ...
1062
1063authz-regexp "gidNumber=.*\\\+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth''
1064	"uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com"
1065
1066@end example
1067
1068The sasl-regexp is for mapping between the SASL/EXTERNAL and a user in
1069a tree.  The user that the key is mapped to should be have a
1070krb5Principal aux object with krb5PrincipalName set so that the
1071``creator'' and ``modifier'' is right in @file{kadmin}.
1072
1073Another option is to create an admins group and add the dn to that
1074group.
1075
1076Since Heimdal talks to the LDAP server over a UNIX domain socket, and
1077uses external sasl authentication, it's not possible to require
1078security layer quality (ssf in cyrus-sasl lingo). So that requirement
1079has to be turned off in OpenLDAP @command{slapd} configuration file
1080@file{slapd.conf}.
1081
1082@example
1083sasl-secprops minssf=0
1084@end example
1085
1086@item
1087
1088Start @command{slapd} with the local listener (as well as the default TCP/IP
1089listener on port 389) as follows:
1090
1091@example
1092    slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///"
1093@end example
1094
1095Note: These is a bug in @command{slapd} where it appears to corrupt the krb5Key
1096binary attribute on shutdown. This may be related to our use of the V3
1097schema definition syntax instead of the old UMich-style, V2 syntax.
1098
1099@item
1100You should specify the distinguished name under which your
1101principals will be stored in @file{krb5.conf}. Also you need to
1102enter the path to the kadmin acl file:
1103
1104
1105@example
1106[kdc]
1107        database = @{
1108                dbname = ldap:ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com
1109                hdb-ldap-structural-object = inetOrgPerson
1110                acl_file = /path/to/kadmind.acl
1111                mkey_file = /path/to/mkey
1112        @}
1113@end example
1114
1115@samp{mkey_file} can be excluded if you feel that you trust your ldap
1116directory to have the raw keys inside it.  The
1117hdb-ldap-structural-object is not necessary if you do not need Samba
1118comatibility.
1119
1120
1121
1122@item
1123Once you have built Heimdal and started the LDAP server, run kadmin
1124(as usual) to initialise the database. Note that the instructions for
1125stashing a master key are as per any Heimdal installation.
1126
1127@example
1128kdc# kadmin -l
1129kadmin> init EXAMPLE.COM
1130Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
1131Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
1132kadmin> add lukeh
1133Max ticket life [1 day]:
1134Max renewable life [1 week]:
1135Principal expiration time [never]:
1136Password expiration time [never]:
1137Attributes []:
1138lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1139Verifying password - lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1140kadmin> exit
1141@end example
1142
1143Verify that the principal database has indeed been stored in the
1144directory with the following command:
1145
1146@example
1147kdc# ldapsearch -L -h localhost -D cn=manager \
1148 -w secret -b ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com \
1149 'objectclass=krb5KDCEntry'
1150@end example
1151
1152@item
1153Now consider adding indexes to the database to speed up the access, at
1154least theses should be added to slapd.conf.
1155
1156@example
1157index	objectClass		eq
1158index	cn			eq,sub,pres
1159index	uid			eq,sub,pres
1160index	displayName		eq,sub,pres
1161index	krb5PrincipalName	eq
1162@end example

1185The Samba domain and the Kerberos realm can have different names since
1186arcfour's string to key functions principal/realm independent.  So now
1187will be your first and only chance name your Kerberos realm without
1188needing to deal with old configuration files.
1189
1190First, you should set up Samba and get that working with LDAP backend.
1191
1192Now you can proceed as in @xref{Using LDAP to store the database}.
1193Heimdal will pick up the Samba LDAP entries if they are in the same
1194search space as the Kerberos entries.
1195
1196@node Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up PK-INIT, Using LDAP to store the database, Setting up a realm
1197@section Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs
1198
1199Some services require Kerberos credentials when they start to make
1200connections to other services or need to use them when they have started.
1201
1202The easiest way to get tickets for a service is to store the key in a
1203keytab. Both ktutil get and kadmin ext can be used to get a
1204keytab. ktutil get is better in that way it changes the key/password
1205for the user. This is also the problem with ktutil. If ktutil is used
1206for the same service principal on several hosts, they keytab will only
1207be useful on the last host. In that case, run the extract command on
1208one host and then securely copy the keytab around to all other hosts
1209that need it.
1210
1211@example
1212host# ktutil -k /etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1213      get -p lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1214lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG's Password:
1215@end example
1216
1217To get a Kerberos credential file for the service, use kinit in the
1218@kbd{--keytab} mode. This will not ask for a password but instead fetch the
1219key from the keytab.
1220
1221@example
1222service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1223               --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1224       service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1225@end example
1226
1227Long running services might need credentials longer then the
1228expiration time of the tickets. kinit can run in a mode that refreshes
1229the tickets before they expire. This is useful for services that write
1230into AFS and other distributed file systems using Kerberos. To run the
1231long running script, just append the program and arguments (if any)
1232after the principal. kinit will stop refreshing credentials and remove
1233the credentials when the script-to-start-service exits.
1234
1235@example
1236service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1237       --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \

1243@node Setting up PK-INIT, Debugging Kerberos problems, Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up a realm
1244@section Setting up PK-INIT
1245
1246PK-INIT leverages an existing PKI (public key infrastructure), using
1247certificates to get the initial ticket (usually the krbtgt
1248ticket-granting ticket).
1249
1250To use PK-INIT you must first have a PKI. If you don't have one, it is
1251time to create it. You should first read the whole chapter of the
1252document to see the requirements imposed on the CA software.
1253
1254A mapping between the PKI certificate and what principals that
1255certificate is allowed to use must exist. There are several ways to do
1256this. The administrator can use a configuration file, store the
1257principal in the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate, or store
1258the mapping in the principals entry in the kerberos database.
1259
1260@section Certificates
1261
1262This section documents the requirements on the KDC and client
1263certificates and the format used in the id-pkinit-san OtherName
1264extention.
1265
1266@subsection KDC certificate
1267
1268The certificate for the KDC has serveral requirements.
1269
1270First, the certificate should have an Extended Key Usage (EKU)
1271id-pkkdcekuoid (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5) set. Second, there must be a
1272subjectAltName otherName using OID id-pkinit-san (1.3.6.1.5.2.2) in
1273the type field and a DER encoded KRB5PrincipalName that matches the
1274name of the TGS of the target realm.  Also, if the certificate has a
1275nameConstraints extention with a Generalname with dNSName or iPAdress,
1276it must match the hostname or adress of the KDC.
1277
1278The client is not required by the standard to check the server
1279certificate for this information if the client has external
1280information confirming which certificate the KDC is supposed to be
1281using. However, adding this information to the KDC certificate removes
1282the need to specially configure the client to recognize the KDC
1283certificate.
1284
1285Remember that if the client would accept any certificate as the KDC's
1286certificate, the client could be fooled into trusting something that
1287isn't a KDC and thus expose the user to giving away information (like
1288a password or other private information) that it is supposed to keep
1289secret.
1290
1291@subsection Client certificate
1292
1293The client certificate may need to have a EKU id-pkekuoid
1294(1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4) set depending on the certifiate on the KDC.
1295
1296It possible to store the principal (if allowed by the KDC) in the
1297certificate and thus delegate responsibility to do the mapping between
1298certificates and principals to the CA.
1299
1300This behavior is controlled by KDC configuration option:
1301
1302@example
1303[kdc]
1304	pkinit_principal_in_certificate = yes
1305@end example
1306
1307@subsubsection Using KRB5PrincipalName in id-pkinit-san
1308
1309The OtherName extention in the GeneralName is used to do the mapping
1310between certificate and principal.  For the KDC certificate, this
1311stores the krbtgt principal name for that KDC.  For the client
1312certificate, this stores the principal for which that certificate is
1313allowed to get tickets.
1314
1315The principal is stored in a SubjectAltName in the certificate using
1316OtherName. The OID in the type is id-pkinit-san.
1317
1318@example
1319id-pkinit-san OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= @{ iso (1) org (3) dod (6)
1320internet (1) security (5) kerberosv5 (2) 2 @}
1321@end example
1322
1323The data part of the OtherName is filled with the following DER
1324encoded ASN.1 structure:
1325
1326@example
1327KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE @{
1328	realm [0] Realm,
1329	principalName [1] PrincipalName
1330@}
1331@end example
1332
1333where Realm and PrincipalName is defined by the Kerberos ASN.1
1334specification.
1335
1336@section Naming certificate using hx509
1337
1338hx509 is the X.509 software used in Heimdal to handle
1339certificates. hx509 supports several different syntaxes for specifying
1340certificate files or formats. Several formats may be used:  PEM,
1341certificates embedded in PKCS#12 files, certificates embedded in
1342PKCS#11 devices, and raw DER encoded certificates.
1343
1344Those formats may be specified as follows:
1345
1346@table @asis
1347
1348@item DIR:
1349
1350DIR specifies a directory which contains certificates in the DER or
1351PEM format.
1352
1353The main feature of DIR is that the directory is read on demand when
1354iterating over certificates. This allows applications, in some
1355situations, to avoid having to store all certificates in memory.  It's
1356very useful for tests that iterate over large numbers of certificates.
1357
1358The syntax is:
1359
1360@example
1361DIR:/path/to/der/files
1362@end example
1363
1364@item FILE:
1365
1366FILE: specifies a file that contains a certificate or private key.
1367The file can be either a PEM (openssl) file or a raw DER encoded
1368certificate. If it's a PEM file, it can contain several keys and
1369certificates and the code will try to match the private key and
1370certificate together. Multiple files may be specified, separated by
1371commas.
1372
1373It's useful to have one PEM file that contains all the trust anchors.
1374
1375The syntax is:
1376
1377@example
1378FILE:certificate.pem,private-key.key,other-cert.pem,....
1379@end example
1380
1381@item PKCS11:
1382
1383PKCS11: is used to handle smartcards via PKCS#11 drivers, such as
1384soft-token, opensc, or muscle. The argument specifies a shared object
1385that implements the PKCS#11 API. The default is to use all slots on
1386the device/token.
1387
1388The syntax is:
1389
1390@example
1391PKCS11:shared-object.so
1392@end example
1393
1394@item PKCS12:
1395
1396PKCS12: is used to handle PKCS#12 files. PKCS#12 files commonly have
1397the extension pfx or p12.
1398
1399The syntax is:
1400
1401@example
1402PKCS12:/path/to/file.pfx
1403@end example
1404
1405@end table
1406
1407@section Configure the Kerberos software
1408
1409First configure the client's trust anchors and what parameters to
1410verify. See the subsections below for how to do that. Then, you can
1411use kinit to get yourself tickets. For example:
1412
1413@example
1414$ kinit -C FILE:$HOME/.certs/lha.crt,$HOME/.certs/lha.key lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1415Enter your private key passphrase:
1416: lha@@nutcracker ; klist

1481
1482@section Use hxtool to create certificates
1483
1484@subsection Generate certificates
1485
1486First, you need to generate a CA certificate. This example creates a
1487CA certificate that will be valid for 10 years.
1488
1489You need to change --subject in the command below to something
1490appropriate for your site.
1491
1492@example
1493hxtool issue-certificate \
1494    --self-signed \
1495    --issue-ca \
1496    --generate-key=rsa \
1497    --subject="CN=CA,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1498    --lifetime=10years \
1499    --certificate="FILE:ca.pem"
1500@end example
1501
1502The KDC needs to have a certificate, so generate a certificate of the
1503type ``pkinit-kdc'' and set the PK-INIT specifial SubjectAltName to the
1504name of the krbtgt of the realm.
1505
1506You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1507below to something appropriate for your site.
1508
1509@example
1510hxtool issue-certificate \
1511    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1512    --generate-key=rsa \
1513    --type="pkinit-kdc" \
1514    --pk-init-principal="krbtgt/TEST.H5L.SE@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1515    --subject="uid=kdc,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1516    --certificate="FILE:kdc.pem"
1517@end example
1518
1519The users also needs to have certificates. For your first client,
1520generate a certificate of type ``pkinit-client''. The client doesn't
1521need to have the PK-INIT SubjectAltName set; you can have the Subject
1522DN in the ACL file (pki-mapping) instead.
1523
1524You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1525below to something appropriate for your site. You can omit
1526--pk-init-principal if you're going to use the ACL file instead.
1527
1528@example
1529hxtool issue-certificate \
1530    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1531    --generate-key=rsa \
1532    --type="pkinit-client" \
1533    --pk-init-principal="lha@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1534    --subject="uid=lha,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1535    --certificate="FILE:user.pem"

1538@subsection Validate the certificate
1539
1540hxtool also contains a tool that will validate certificates according
1541to rules from the PKIX document. These checks are not complete, but
1542they provide a good test of whether you got all of the basic bits
1543right in your certificates.
1544
1545@example
1546hxtool validate FILE:user.pem
1547@end example

1549@section Use OpenSSL to create certificates
1550
1551This section tries to give the CA owners hints how to create
1552certificates using OpenSSL (or CA software based on OpenSSL).
1553
1554@subsection Using OpenSSL to create certificates with krb5PrincipalName
1555
1556To make OpenSSL create certificates with krb5PrincipalName, use an
1557@file{openssl.cnf} as described below. To see a complete example of
1558creating client and KDC certificates, see the test-data generation
1559script @file{lib/hx509/data/gen-req.sh} in the source-tree. The
1560certicates it creates are used to test the PK-INIT functionality in
1561@file{tests/kdc/check-kdc.in}.
1562
1563To use this example you have to use OpenSSL 0.9.8a or later.
1564
1565@example
1566
1567[user_certificate]
1568subjectAltName=otherName:1.3.6.1.5.2.2;SEQUENCE:princ_name
1569
1570[princ_name]
1571realm = EXP:0, GeneralString:MY.REALM
1572principal_name = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principal_seq
1573
1574[principal_seq]
1575name_type = EXP:0, INTEGER:1
1576name_string = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principals
1577
1578[principals]
1579princ1 = GeneralString:userid
1580
1581@end example
1582
1583Command usage:
1584
1585@example
1586openssl x509 -extensions user_certificate
1587openssl ca -extensions user_certificate
1588@end example
1589
1590
1591@c --- ms certificate
1592@c
1593@c [ new_oids ]
1594@c msCertificateTemplateName       = 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2
1595@c
1596@c
1597@c [ req_smartcard ]
1598@c keyUsage                = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
1599@c extendedKeyUsage        = msSmartcardLogin, clientAuth
1600@c msCertificateTemplateName       = ASN1:BMP:SmartcardLogon
1601@c subjectAltName          = otherName:msUPN;UTF8:lukeh@dsg.padl.com
1602@c #subjectAltName         = email:copy

1605@section Using PK-INIT with Windows
1606
1607@subsection Client configration
1608
1609Clients using a Windows KDC with PK-INIT need configuration since
1610windows uses pre-standard format and this can't be autodetected.
1611
1612The pkinit_win2k_require_binding option requires the reply for the KDC
1613to be of the new, secure, type that binds the request to
1614reply. Before, clients could fake the reply from the KDC. To use this
1615option you have to apply a fix from Microsoft.
1616
1617@example
1618[realms]
1619        MY.MS.REALM = @{
1620                pkinit_win2k = yes
1621                pkinit_win2k_require_binding = no
1622	@}
1623@end example
1624
1625@subsection Certificates
1626
1627The client certificates need to have the extended keyusage ``Microsoft
1628Smartcardlogin'' (openssl has the OID shortname msSmartcardLogin).
1629
1630See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 281245 ``Guidelines for Enabling
1631Smart Card Logon with Third-Party Certification Authorities'' for a
1632more extensive description of how set setup an external CA so that it
1633includes all the information required to make a Windows KDC happy.
1634
1635@subsection Configure Windows 2000 CA
1636
1637To enable Microsoft Smartcardlogin for certificates in your Windows
16382000 CA, you want to look at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 313274
1639``HOW TO: Configure a Certification Authority to Issue Smart Card
1640Certificates in Windows''.

1643@section Debugging Kerberos problems
1644
1645To debug Kerberos client and server problems you can enable debug
1646traceing by adding the following to @file{/etc/krb5,conf}. Note that the
1647trace logging is sparse at the moment, but will continue to improve.
