"KRB5KDC" "8" " " "1.21.3" "MIT Kerberos"
NAME
krb5kdc - Kerberos V5 KDC
SYNOPSIS
krb5kdc
[-x db_args]
[-d dbname]
[-k keytype]
[-M mkeyname]
[-p portnum]
[-m]
[-r realm]
[-n]
[-w numworkers]
[-P pid_file]
[-T time_offset]
DESCRIPTION
krb5kdc is the Kerberos version 5 Authentication Service and Key
Distribution Center (AS/KDC).
OPTIONS
The -r realm option specifies the realm for which the server
should provide service. This option may be specified multiple times
to serve multiple realms. If no -r option is given, the default
realm (as specified in krb5.conf(5)) will be served.
The -d dbname option specifies the name under which the
principal database can be found. This option does not apply to the
LDAP database.
The -k keytype option specifies the key type of the master key
to be entered manually as a password when -m is given; the default
is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96.
The -M mkeyname option specifies the principal name for the
master key in the database (usually K/M in the KDC\(aqs realm).
The -m option specifies that the master database password should
be fetched from the keyboard rather than from a stash file.
The -n option specifies that the KDC does not put itself in the
background and does not disassociate itself from the terminal.
The -P pid_file option tells the KDC to write its PID into
pid_file after it starts up. This can be used to identify whether
the KDC is still running and to allow init scripts to stop the correct
process.
The -p portnum option specifies the default UDP and TCP port
numbers which the KDC should listen on for Kerberos version 5
requests, as a comma-separated list. This value overrides the port
numbers specified in the kdcdefaults section of
kdc.conf(5), but may be overridden by realm-specific values.
If no value is given from any source, the default port is 88.
The -w numworkers option tells the KDC to fork numworkers
processes to listen to the KDC ports and process requests in parallel.
The top level KDC process (whose pid is recorded in the pid file if
the -P option is also given) acts as a supervisor. The supervisor
will relay SIGHUP signals to the worker subprocesses, and will
terminate the worker subprocess if the it is itself terminated or if
any other worker process exits.
The -x db_args option specifies database-specific arguments.
See Database Options in kadmin(1) for
supported arguments.
The -T offset option specifies a time offset, in seconds, which
the KDC will operate under. It is intended only for testing purposes.
EXAMPLE
The KDC may service requests for multiple realms (maximum 32 realms).
The realms are listed on the command line. Per-realm options that can
be specified on the command line pertain for each realm that follows
it and are superseded by subsequent definitions of the same option.
For example:
NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 krb5kdc -p 2001 -r REALM1 -p 2002 -r REALM2 -r REALM3NINDENT NINDENT specifies that the KDC listen on port 2001 for REALM1 and on port 2002 for REALM2 and REALM3. Additionally, per-realm parameters may be specified in the kdc.conf(5) file. The location of this file may be specified by the KRB5_KDC_PROFILE environment variable. Per-realm parameters specified in this file take precedence over options specified on the command line. See the kdc.conf(5) description for further details.
ENVIRONMENT
See kerberos(7) for a description of Kerberos environment
variables.
