10realm is an administrative domain.  The name of a Kerberos realm is
11usually the Internet domain name in uppercase.  Call your realm the same
12as your Internet domain name if you do not have strong reasons for not
13doing so.  It will make life easier for you and everyone else.

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

195@node Modifying the database, Checking the setup, Creating the database, Setting up a realm
196@section Modifying the database
197
198All modifications of principals are done with with kadmin.
199
200A principal has several attributes and lifetimes associated with it.
201
202Principals are added, renamed, modified, and deleted with the kadmin
203commands @samp{add}, @samp{rename}, @samp{modify}, @samp{delete}.
204Both interactive editing and command line flags can be used (use --help
205to list the available options).
206
207There are different kinds of types for the fields in the database;
208attributes, absolute time times and relative times.
209
210@subsection Attributes
211
212When doing interactive editing, attributes are listed with @samp{?}.
213
214The attributes are given in a comma (@samp{,}) separated list.
215Attributes are removed from the list by prefixing them with @samp{-}.

257@node Checking the setup, keytabs, Modifying the database, Setting up a realm
258@section Checking the setup
259
260There are two tools that can check the consistency of the Kerberos
261configuration file and the Kerberos database.
262
263The Kerberos configuration file is checked using
264@command{verify_krb5_conf}. The tool checks for common errors, but
265commonly there are several uncommon configuration entries that are
266never added to the tool and thus generates ``unknown entry'' warnings.
267This is usually nothing to worry about.
268
269The database check is built into the kadmin tool. It will check for
270common configuration error that will cause problems later. Common
271check are for existence and flags on important principals. The
272database check by run by the following command :
273
274@example
275kadmin -l check REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
276@end example
277
278@node keytabs, Serving Kerberos 4/524/kaserver, Checking the setup, Setting up a realm
279@section keytabs
280
281To extract a service ticket from the database and put it in a keytab, you
282need to first create the principal in the database with @samp{add}
283(using the @kbd{--random-key} flag to get a random key) and then
284extract it with @samp{ext_keytab}.
285
286@example
287kadmin> add --random-key host/my.host.name
288Max ticket life [unlimited]:
289Max renewable life [unlimited]:

303
304Heimdal can be configured to support 524, Kerberos 4 or kaserver. All
305these services are turned off by default. Kerberos 4 is always
306supported by the KDC, but the Kerberos 4 client support also depends
307on Kerberos 4 support having been included at compile-time, using
308@kbd{--with-krb4=dir}.
309
310@subsection 524
311
312524 is a service that allows the KDC to convert Kerberos 5 tickets to
313Kerberos 4 tickets for backward compatibility. See also Using 2b
314tokens with AFS in @xref{AFS}.
315
316524 can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file
317
318@example
319[kdc]
320	enable-524 = yes
321@end example
322
323@subsection Kerberos 4
324
325Kerberos 4 is the predecessor to to Kerberos 5. It only supports
326single DES@. You should only enable Kerberos 4 support if you have
327needs for compatibility with an installed base of Kerberos 4
328clients/servers.
329
330Kerberos 4 can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file
331
332@example
333[kdc]
334	enable-kerberos4 = yes
335@end example
336
337@subsection kaserver
338
339Kaserver is a Kerberos 4 that is used in AFS@.  The protocol has some
340extra features over plain Kerberos 4, but like Kerberos 4, only uses
341single DES@.
342
343You should only enable Kaserver support if you have needs for
344compatibility with an installed base of AFS machines.
345
346Kaserver can be turned on by adding this to the configuration file

353@node Remote administration, Password changing, Serving Kerberos 4/524/kaserver, Setting up a realm
354@section Remote administration
355
356The administration server, @command{kadmind}, can be started by
357@command{inetd} (which isn't recommended) or run as a normal daemon. If you
358want to start it from @command{inetd} you should add a line similar to the
359one below to your @file{/etc/inetd.conf}.
360
361@example
362kerberos-adm stream     tcp     nowait  root /usr/heimdal/libexec/kadmind kadmind
363@end example
364
365You might need to add @samp{kerberos-adm} to your @file{/etc/services}
366as @samp{749/tcp}.
367
368Access to the administration server is controlled by an ACL file,
369(default @file{/var/heimdal/kadmind.acl}.) The file has the following
370syntax:
371@smallexample
372principal       [priv1,priv2,...]       [glob-pattern]
373@end smallexample
374
375The matching is from top to bottom for matching principals (and if given,
376glob-pattern).  When there is a match, the access rights of that line are
377applied.
378
379The privileges you can assign to a principal are: @samp{add},
380@samp{change-password} (or @samp{cpw} for short), @samp{delete},
381@samp{get}, @samp{list}, and @samp{modify}, or the special privilege
382@samp{all}. All of these roughly correspond to the different commands
383in @command{kadmin}.
384
385If a @var{glob-pattern} is given on a line, it restricts the access
386rights for the principal to only apply for subjects that match the
387pattern.  The patterns are of the same type as those used in shell
388globbing, see @url{none,,fnmatch(3)}.
389
390In the example below @samp{lha/admin} can change every principal in the
391database. @samp{jimmy/admin} can only modify principals that belong to
392the realm @samp{E.KTH.SE}. @samp{mille/admin} is working at the
393help desk, so he should only be able to change the passwords for single
394component principals (ordinary users). He will not be able to change any
395@samp{/admin} principal.
396
397@example
398lha/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all
399jimmy/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all		*@@E.KTH.SE

403
404@node Password changing, Testing clients and servers, Remote administration, Setting up a realm
405@section Password changing
406
407To allow users to change their passwords, you should run @command{kpasswdd}.
408It is not run from @command{inetd}.
409
410You might need to add @samp{kpasswd} to your @file{/etc/services} as
411@samp{464/udp}.  If your realm is not setup to use DNS, you might also
412need to add a @samp{kpasswd_server} entry to the realm configuration
413in @file{/etc/krb5.conf} on client machines:
414
415@example
416[realms]
417        MY.REALM = @{
418                kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
419                kpasswd_server = my.kdc
420        @}
421@end example
422
423@subsection Password quality assurance
424
425It is important that users have good passwords, both to make it harder
426to guess them and to avoid off-line attacks (although
427pre-authentication provides some defence against off-line attacks).
428To ensure that the users choose good passwords, you can enable
429password quality controls in @command{kpasswdd} and @command{kadmind}.
430The controls themselves are done in a shared library or an external
431program that is used by @command{kpasswdd}.  To configure in these
432controls, add lines similar to the following to your
433@file{/etc/krb5.conf}:
434
435@example
436[password_quality]
437	policies = external-check builtin:minimum-length modulename:policyname
438	external_program = /bin/false
439	policy_libraries = @var{library1.so} @var{library2.so}
440@end example
441
442In @samp{[password_quality]policies} the module name is optional if
443the policy name is unique in all modules (members of
444@samp{policy_libraries}).  All built-in policies can be qualified with
445a module name of @samp{builtin} to unambiguously specify the built-in
446policy and not a policy by the same name from a loaded module.
447
448The built-in policies are
449
450@itemize @bullet
451
452@item external-check
453
454Executes the program specified by @samp{[password_quality]external_program}.
455
456A number of key/value pairs are passed as input to the program, one per
457line, ending with the string @samp{end}.  The key/value lines are of
458the form
459@example
460principal: @var{principal}
461new-password: @var{password}
462@end example
463where @var{password} is the password to check for the previous
464@var{principal}.
465
466If the external application approves the password, it should return
467@samp{APPROVED} on standard out and exit with exit code 0.  If it
468doesn't approve the password, an one line error message explaining the
469problem should be returned on standard error and the application
470should exit with exit code 0.  In case of a fatal error, the
471application should, if possible, print an error message on standard
472error and exit with a non-zero error code.
473
474@item minimum-length
475
476The minimum length password quality check reads the configuration file
477stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_length} and requires the password
478to be at least this length.
479
480@item character-class
481
482The character-class password quality check reads the configuration
483file stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_classes}. The policy requires
484the password to have characters from at least that many character
485classes. Default value if not given is 3.
486
487The four different characters classes are, uppercase, lowercase,
488number, special characters.
489
490@end itemize
491
492If you want to write your own shared object to check password
493policies, see the manual page @manpage{kadm5_pwcheck,3}.
494
495Code for a password quality checking function that uses the cracklib
496library can be found in @file{lib/kadm5/sample_password_check.c} in
497the source code distribution.  It requires that the cracklib library
498be built with the patch available at
499@url{ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/cracklib.patch}.
500
501A sample policy external program is included in
502@file{lib/kadm5/check-cracklib.pl}.
503
504If no password quality checking function is configured, the only check
505performed is that the password is at least six characters long.
506
507To check the password policy settings, use the command
508@command{verify-password-quality} in @command{kadmin} program. The password
509verification is only performed locally, on the client.  It may be
510convenient to set the environment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG} to point
511to a test version of @file{krb5.conf} while you're testing the
512@samp{[password_quality]} stanza that way.

523It is desirable to have at least one backup (slave) server in case the
524master server fails. It is possible to have any number of such slave
525servers but more than three usually doesn't buy much more redundancy.
526
527All Kerberos servers for a realm must have the same database so that
528they present the same service to the users.  The
529@pindex hprop
530@command{hprop} program, running on the master, will propagate the database
531to the slaves, running
532@pindex hpropd
533@command{hpropd} processes.
534
535Every slave needs a database directory, the master key (if it was used
536for the database) and a keytab with the principal
537@samp{hprop/@var{hostname}}.  Add the principal with the
538@pindex ktutil
539@command{ktutil} command and start
540@pindex hpropd
541@command{hpropd}, as follows:
542
543@example
544slave# ktutil get -p foo/admin hprop/`hostname`
545slave# mkdir /var/heimdal
546slave# hpropd
547@end example
548
549The master will use the principal @samp{kadmin/hprop} to authenticate to
550the slaves.  This principal should be added when running @kbd{kadmin -l
551init} but if you do not have it in your database for whatever reason,
552please add it with @kbd{kadmin -l add}.
553
554Then run
555@pindex hprop
556@code{hprop} on the master:
557
558@example
559master# hprop slave
560@end example
561
562This was just an hands-on example to make sure that everything was
563working properly.  Doing it manually is of course the wrong way, and to
564automate this you will want to start
565@pindex hpropd
566@command{hpropd} from @command{inetd} on the slave(s) and regularly run
567@pindex hprop
568@command{hprop} on the master to regularly propagate the database.
569Starting the propagation once an hour from @command{cron} is probably a
570good idea.

572@node Incremental propagation, Encryption types and salting, Slave Servers, Setting up a realm
573@section Incremental propagation
574
575There is also a newer mechanism for
576doing incremental propagation in Heimdal.  Instead of sending the whole
577database regularly, it sends the changes as they happen on the master to
578the slaves.  The master keeps track of all the changes by assigning a
579version number to every change to the database.  The slaves know which
580was the latest version they saw and in this way it can be determined if
581they are in sync or not.  A log of all the changes is kept on the master,
582and when a slave is at an older version than the oldest one in the
583log, the whole database has to be sent.
584
585Protocol-wise, all the slaves connect to the master and as a greeting
586tell it the latest version that they have (@samp{IHAVE} message).  The
587master then responds by sending all the changes between that version and
588the current version at the master (a series of @samp{FORYOU} messages)
589or the whole database in a @samp{TELLYOUEVERYTHING} message.  There is
590also a keep-alive protocol that makes sure all slaves are up and running.
591
592In addition on listening on the network to get connection from new
593slaves, the ipropd-master also listens on a status unix
594socket. kadmind and kpasswdd both open that socket when a transation
595is done and written a notification to the socket. That cause
596ipropd-master to check for new version in the log file. As a fallback in
597case a notification is lost by the unix socket, the log file is
598checked after 30 seconds of no event.
599
600@subsection Configuring incremental propagation
601
602The program that runs on the master is @command{ipropd-master} and all
603clients run @command{ipropd-slave}.
604
605Create the file @file{/var/heimdal/slaves} on the master containing all
606the slaves that the database should be propagated to.  Each line contains
607the full name of the principal (for example
608@samp{iprop/hemligare.foo.se@@FOO.SE}).
609
610You should already have @samp{iprop/tcp} defined as 2121, in your
611@file{/etc/services}.  Otherwise, or if you need to use a different port
612for some peculiar reason, you can use the @kbd{--port} option.  This is
613useful when you have multiple realms to distribute from one server.
614
615Then you need to create those principals that you added in the
616configuration file.  Create one @samp{iprop/hostname} for the master and
617for every slave.
618
619
620@example
621master# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
622@end example
623
624@example
625slave# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
626@end example
627
628
629The next step is to start the @command{ipropd-master} process on the master
630server.  The @command{ipropd-master} listens on the UNIX domain socket
631@file{/var/heimdal/signal} to know when changes have been made to the
632database so they can be propagated to the slaves.  There is also a
633safety feature of testing the version number regularly (every 30
634seconds) to see if it has been modified by some means that do not raise
635this signal.  Then, start @command{ipropd-slave} on all the slaves:
636
637@example
638master# /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-master &
639slave#  /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-slave master &
640@end example
641
642To manage the iprop log file you should use the @command{iprop-log}
643command. With it you can dump, truncate and replay the logfile.

647@cindex Salting
648@cindex Encryption types
649
650The encryption types that the KDC is going to assign by default is
651possible to change. Since the keys used for user authentication is
652salted the encryption types are described together with the salt
653strings.
654
655Salting is used to make it harder to pre-calculate all possible
656keys. Using a salt increases the search space to make it almost
657impossible to pre-calculate all keys. Salting is the process of mixing a
658public string (the salt) with the password, then sending it through an
659encryption type specific string-to-key function that will output the
660fixed size encryption key.
661
662In Kerberos 5 the salt is determined by the encryption type, except in
663some special cases.
664
665In @code{des} there is the Kerberos 4 salt
666(none at all) or the afs-salt (using the cell (realm in
667AFS lingo)).
668
669In @code{arcfour} (the encryption type that Microsoft Windows 2000 uses)
670there is no salt. This is to be compatible with NTLM keys in Windows
671NT 4.
672
673@code{[kadmin]default_keys} in @file{krb5.conf} controls
674what salting to use.
675
676The syntax of @code{[kadmin]default_keys} is
677@samp{[etype:]salt-type[:salt-string]}. @samp{etype} is the encryption
678type (des-cbc-crc, arcfour-hmac-md5, aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96),
679@code{salt-type} is the type of salt (pw-salt or afs3-salt), and the
680salt-string is the string that will be used as salt (remember that if
681the salt is appended/prepended, the empty salt "" is the same thing as
682no salt at all).
683
684Common types of salting include
685
686@itemize @bullet
687@item @code{v4} (or @code{des:pw-salt:})
688
689The Kerberos 4 salting is using no salt at all. Reason there is colon
690at the end of the salt string is that it makes the salt the empty
691string (same as no salt).
692
693@item @code{v5} (or @code{pw-salt})
694
695@code{pw-salt} uses the default salt for each encryption type is
696specified for. If the encryption type @samp{etype} isn't given, all
697default encryption will be used.
698
699@item @code{afs3-salt}
700
701@code{afs3-salt} is the salt that is used with Transarc kaserver. It's
702the cell name appended to the password.

711When KCM running is easy for users to switch between different

714
715Other advantages are that there is the long term credentials are not
716written to disk and on reboot the credential is removed when kcm
717process stopps running.
718

777@cindex Cross realm
778
779Suppose you reside in the realm @samp{MY.REALM}, how do you
780authenticate to a server in @samp{OTHER.REALM}? Having valid tickets in
781@samp{MY.REALM} allows you to communicate with Kerberised services in that
782realm. However, the computer in the other realm does not have a secret
783key shared with the Kerberos server in your realm.
784
785It is possible to share keys between two realms that trust each
786other. When a client program, such as @command{telnet} or @command{ssh},
787finds that the other computer is in a different realm, it will try to
788get a ticket granting ticket for that other realm, but from the local
789Kerberos server. With that ticket granting ticket, it will then obtain
790service tickets from the Kerberos server in the other realm.
791
792For a two way trust between @samp{MY.REALM} and @samp{OTHER.REALM}
793add the following principals to each realm. The principals should be
794@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM} and
795@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} in @samp{MY.REALM}, and
796@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} and
797@samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM}in @samp{OTHER.REALM}.
798
799In Kerberos 5 the trust can be configured to be one way. So that
800users from @samp{MY.REALM} can authenticate to services in
801@samp{OTHER.REALM}, but not the opposite. In the example above, the
802@samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} then should be removed.
803
804The two principals must have the same key, key version number, and the
805same set of encryption types. Remember to transfer the two keys in a
806safe manner.

841
842Under some circumstances, you may not wish to set up direct
843cross-realm trust with every realm to which you wish to authenticate
844or from which you wish to accept authentications. Kerberos supports
845multi-hop cross-realm trust where a client principal in realm A
846authenticates to a service in realm C through a realm B with which
847both A and C have cross-realm trust relationships. In this situation,
848A and C need not set up cross-realm principals between each other.
849
850If you want to use cross-realm authentication through an intermediate
851realm, it must be explicitly allowed by either the KDCs for the realm
852to which the client is authenticating (in this case, realm C), or the
853server receiving the request. This is done in @file{krb5.conf} in the
854@code{[capaths]} section.
855
856In addition, the client in realm A need to be configured to know how
857to reach realm C via realm B. This can be done either on the client or
858via KDC configuration in the KDC for realm A.
859
860@subsection Allowing cross-realm transits
861
862When the ticket transits through a realm to another realm, the
863destination realm adds its peer to the "transited-realms" field in the
864ticket. The field is unordered, since there is no way to know if know
865if one of the transited-realms changed the order of the list. For the
866authentication to be accepted by the final destination realm, all of
867the transited realms must be listed as trusted in the @code{[capaths]}
868configuration, either in the KDC for the destination realm or on the
869server receiving the authentication.
870
871The syntax for @code{[capaths]} section is:
872
873@example
874[capaths]
875        CLIENT-REALM = @{
876                SERVER-REALM = PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS ...
877        @}
878@end example
879
880In the following example, the realm @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} only has
881direct cross-realm set up with @code{KTH.SE}.  @code{KTH.SE} has
882direct cross-realm set up with @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and @code{SU.SE}.
883@code{DSV.SU.SE} only has direct cross-realm set up with @code{SU.SE}.
884The goal is to allow principals in the @code{DSV.SU.SE} or
885@code{SU.SE} realms to authenticate to services in
886@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  This is done with the following
887@code{[capaths]} entry on either the server accepting authentication
888or on the KDC for @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
889
890@example
891[capaths]
892	SU.SE = @{
893                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = KTH.SE
894	@}
895	DSV.SU.SE = @{
896                    STACKEN.KTH.SE = SU.SE KTH.SE
897	@}
898@end example
899
900The first entry allows cross-realm authentication from clients in
901@code{SU.SE} transiting through @code{KTH.SE} to
902@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  The second entry allows cross-realm
903authentication from clients in @code{DSV.SU.SE} transiting through
904both @code{SU.SE} and @code{KTH.SE} to @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
905
906Be careful of which realm goes where; it's easy to put realms in the
907wrong place.  The block is tagged with the client realm (the realm of
908the principal authenticating), and the realm before the equal sign is
909the final destination realm: the realm to which the client is
910authenticating.  After the equal sign go all the realms that the
911client transits through.
912
913The order of the @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is not important when
914doing transit cross realm verification.
915
916@subsection Configuring client cross-realm transits
917
918The @code{[capaths]} section is also used for another purpose: to tell
919clients which realm to transit through to reach a realm with which
920their local realm does not have cross-realm trust.  This can be done
921by either putting a @code{[capaths]} entry in the configuration of the
922client or by putting the entry in the configuration of the KDC for the
923client's local realm.  In the latter case, the KDC will then hand back
924a referral to the client when the client requests a cross-realm ticket
925to the destination realm, telling the client to try to go through an
926intermediate realm.
927
928For client configuration, the order of @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS}
929is significant, since only the first realm in this section (after the
930equal sign) is used by the client.
931
932For example, again consider the @code{[capaths]} entry above for the
933case of a client in the @code{SU.SE} realm, and assume that the client
934or the @code{SU.SE} KDC has that @code{[capaths]} entry.  If the
935client attempts to authenticate to a service in the
936@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} realm, that entry says to first authenticate
937cross-realm to the @code{KTH.SE} realm (the first realm listed in the
938@code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} section), and then from there to
939@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
940
941Each entry in @code{[capaths]} can only give the next hop, since only
942the first realm in @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is used.  If, for
943instance, a client in @code{DSV.SU.SE} had a @code{[capaths]}
944configuration as above but without the first block for @code{SU.SE},
945they would not be able to reach @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  They would get
946as far as @code{SU.SE} based on the @code{DSV.SU.SE} entry in
947@code{[capaths]} and then attempt to go directly from there to
948@code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and get stuck (unless, of course, the
949@code{SU.SE} KDC had the additional entry required to tell the client
950to go through @code{KTH.SE}).
951
952@subsection Active Directory forest example
953
954One common place where a @code{[capaths]} configuration is desirable
955is with Windows Active Directory forests.  One common Active Directory
956configuration is to have one top-level Active Directory realm but then
957divide systems, services, and users into child realms (perhaps based
958on organizational unit).  One generally establishes cross-realm trust
959only with the top-level realm, and then uses transit policy to permit
960authentications to and from the child realms.
961
962For example, suppose an organization has a Heimdal realm
963@code{EXAMPLE.COM}, a Windows Active Directory realm
964@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}, and then child Active Directory realms
965@code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}.  The
966goal is to allow users in any of these realms to authenticate to
967services in any of these realms.  The @code{EXAMPLE.COM} KDC (and
968possibly client) configuration should therefore contain a
969@code{[capaths]} section as follows:
970
971@example
972[capaths]
973	ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
974		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
975	@}
976	SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
977		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
978	@}
979	EXAMPLE.COM = @{
980		ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
981		SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
982	@}
983@end example
984
985The first two blocks allow clients in the @code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}
986and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} realms to authenticate to services in
987the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} realm.  The third block tells the client (or
988tells the KDC to tell the client via referrals) to transit through
989@code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} to reach these realms.  Both sides of the
990configuration are needed for bi-directional transited cross-realm
991authentication.

1000@subsection Using DNS to find KDC
1001
1002If there is information about where to find the KDC or kadmind for a
1003realm in the @file{krb5.conf} for a realm, that information will be
1004preferred, and DNS will not be queried.
1005
1006Heimdal will try to use DNS to find the KDCs for a realm. First it
1007will try to find a @code{SRV} resource record (RR) for the realm. If no
1008SRV RRs are found, it will fall back to looking for an @code{A} RR for
1009a machine named kerberos.REALM, and then kerberos-1.REALM, etc
1010
1011Adding this information to DNS minimises the client configuration (in
1012the common case, resulting in no configuration needed) and allows the
1013system administrator to change the number of KDCs and on what machines
1014they are running without caring about clients.

1016The downside of using DNS is that the client might be fooled to use the
1017wrong server if someone fakes DNS replies/data, but storing the IP
1018addresses of the KDC on all the clients makes it very hard to change
1019the infrastructure.
1020
1021An example of the configuration for the realm @code{EXAMPLE.COM}:
1022
1023@example
1024
1025$ORIGIN example.com.
1026_kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
1027_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.

1029_kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
1030_kpasswd._udp           SRV     10 1 464 kerberos.example.com.
1031_kerberos-adm._tcp	SRV	10 1 749 kerberos.example.com.
1032
1033@end example

1036RFC-2782 (A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)).

1038@subsection Using DNS to map hostname to Kerberos realm
1039
1040Heimdal also supports a way to lookup a realm from a hostname. This to
1041minimise configuration needed on clients. Using this has the drawback
1042that clients can be redirected by an attacker to realms within the
1043same cross realm trust and made to believe they are talking to the
1044right server (since Kerberos authentication will succeed).
1045
1046An example configuration that informs clients that for the realms
1047it.example.com and srv.example.com, they should use the realm
1048EXAMPLE.COM:
1049
1050@example
1051
1052$ORIGIN example.com.
1053_kerberos.it		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"
1054_kerberos.srv		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"

1059@section Using LDAP to store the database
1060@cindex Using the LDAP backend
1061
1062This document describes how to install the LDAP backend for
1063Heimdal. Note that before attempting to configure such an
1064installation, you should be aware of the implications of storing
1065private information (such as users' keys) in a directory service
1066primarily designed for public information. Nonetheless, with a
1067suitable authorisation policy, it is possible to set this up in a
1068secure fashion. A knowledge of LDAP, Kerberos, and C is necessary to
1069install this backend. The HDB schema was devised by Leif Johansson.
1070
1071This assumes, OpenLDAP 2.3 or later.
1072
1073Requirements:
1074
1075@itemize @bullet
1076
1077@item
1078A current release of Heimdal, configured with
1079@code{--with-openldap=/usr/local} (adjust according to where you have
1080installed OpenLDAP).
1081
1082You can verify that you manage to configure LDAP support by running
1083@file{kdc --builtin-hdb}, and checking that @samp{ldap:} is one entry
1084in the list.
1085
1086Its also possible to configure the ldap backend as a shared module,
1087see option --hdb-openldap-module to configure.
1088
1089@item
1090Configure OpenLDAP with @kbd{--enable-local} to enable the local transport.
1091
1092@item
1093Add the hdb schema to the LDAP server, it's included in the source-tree
1094in @file{lib/hdb/hdb.schema}. Example from slapd.conf:
1095
1096@example
1097include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/hdb.schema
1098@end example
1099
1100@item
1101Configure the LDAP server ACLs to accept writes from clients over the
1102local transport. For example:
1103
1104@example
1105access to *
1106        by dn.exact="uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com" write
1107        ...
1108
1109authz-regexp "gidNumber=.*\\\+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth''
1110	"uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com"
1111
1112@end example
1113
1114The sasl-regexp is for mapping between the SASL/EXTERNAL and a user in
1115a tree.  The user that the key is mapped to should be have a
1116krb5Principal aux object with krb5PrincipalName set so that the
1117``creator'' and ``modifier'' is right in @file{kadmin}.
1118
1119Another option is to create an admins group and add the dn to that
1120group.
1121
1122Since Heimdal talks to the LDAP server over a UNIX domain socket, and
1123uses external sasl authentication, it's not possible to require
1124security layer quality (ssf in cyrus-sasl lingo). So that requirement
1125has to be turned off in OpenLDAP @command{slapd} configuration file
1126@file{slapd.conf}.
1127
1128@example
1129sasl-secprops minssf=0
1130@end example
1131
1132@item
1133
1134Start @command{slapd} with the local listener (as well as the default TCP/IP
1135listener on port 389) as follows:
1136
1137@example
1138    slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///"
1139@end example
1140
1141Note: These is a bug in @command{slapd} where it appears to corrupt the krb5Key
1142binary attribute on shutdown. This may be related to our use of the V3
1143schema definition syntax instead of the old UMich-style, V2 syntax.
1144
1145@item
1146You should specify the distinguished name under which your
1147principals will be stored in @file{krb5.conf}. Also you need to
1148enter the path to the kadmin acl file:
1149
1150
1151@example
1152[kdc]
1153        database = @{
1154                dbname = ldap:ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com
1155                hdb-ldap-structural-object = inetOrgPerson
1156                acl_file = /path/to/kadmind.acl
1157                mkey_file = /path/to/mkey
1158        @}
1159@end example
1160
1161@samp{mkey_file} can be excluded if you feel that you trust your ldap
1162directory to have the raw keys inside it.  The
1163hdb-ldap-structural-object is not necessary if you do not need Samba
1164comatibility.
1165
1166
1167
1168@item
1169Once you have built Heimdal and started the LDAP server, run kadmin
1170(as usual) to initialise the database. Note that the instructions for
1171stashing a master key are as per any Heimdal installation.
1172
1173@example
1174kdc# kadmin -l
1175kadmin> init EXAMPLE.COM
1176Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
1177Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
1178kadmin> add lukeh
1179Max ticket life [1 day]:
1180Max renewable life [1 week]:
1181Principal expiration time [never]:
1182Password expiration time [never]:
1183Attributes []:
1184lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1185Verifying password - lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
1186kadmin> exit
1187@end example
1188
1189Verify that the principal database has indeed been stored in the
1190directory with the following command:
1191
1192@example
1193kdc# ldapsearch -L -h localhost -D cn=manager \
1194 -w secret -b ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com \
1195 'objectclass=krb5KDCEntry'
1196@end example
1197
1198@item
1199Now consider adding indexes to the database to speed up the access, at
1200least theses should be added to slapd.conf.
1201
1202@example
1203index	objectClass		eq
1204index	cn			eq,sub,pres
1205index	uid			eq,sub,pres
1206index	displayName		eq,sub,pres
1207index	krb5PrincipalName	eq

1234needing to deal with old configuration files.
1235
1236First, you should set up Samba and get that working with LDAP backend.
1237
1238Now you can proceed as in @xref{Using LDAP to store the database}.
1239Heimdal will pick up the Samba LDAP entries if they are in the same
1240search space as the Kerberos entries.
1241
1242@node Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up PK-INIT, Using LDAP to store the database, Setting up a realm
1243@section Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs
1244
1245Some services require Kerberos credentials when they start to make
1246connections to other services or need to use them when they have started.
1247
1248The easiest way to get tickets for a service is to store the key in a
1249keytab. Both ktutil get and kadmin ext can be used to get a
1250keytab. ktutil get is better in that way it changes the key/password
1251for the user. This is also the problem with ktutil. If ktutil is used
1252for the same service principal on several hosts, they keytab will only
1253be useful on the last host. In that case, run the extract command on
1254one host and then securely copy the keytab around to all other hosts
1255that need it.
1256
1257@example
1258host# ktutil -k /etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1259      get -p lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1260lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG's Password:
1261@end example
1262
1263To get a Kerberos credential file for the service, use kinit in the
1264@kbd{--keytab} mode. This will not ask for a password but instead fetch the
1265key from the keytab.
1266
1267@example
1268service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1269               --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \
1270       service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1271@end example
1272
1273Long running services might need credentials longer then the
1274expiration time of the tickets. kinit can run in a mode that refreshes
1275the tickets before they expire. This is useful for services that write
1276into AFS and other distributed file systems using Kerberos. To run the
1277long running script, just append the program and arguments (if any)
1278after the principal. kinit will stop refreshing credentials and remove
1279the credentials when the script-to-start-service exits.
1280
1281@example
1282service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
1283       --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \

1289@node Setting up PK-INIT, Debugging Kerberos problems, Providing Kerberos credentials to servers and programs, Setting up a realm
1290@section Setting up PK-INIT
1291
1292PK-INIT leverages an existing PKI (public key infrastructure), using
1293certificates to get the initial ticket (usually the krbtgt
1294ticket-granting ticket).
1295
1296To use PK-INIT you must first have a PKI. If you don't have one, it is
1297time to create it. You should first read the whole chapter of the
1298document to see the requirements imposed on the CA software.
1299
1300A mapping between the PKI certificate and what principals that
1301certificate is allowed to use must exist. There are several ways to do
1302this. The administrator can use a configuration file, store the
1303principal in the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate, or store
1304the mapping in the principals entry in the kerberos database.
1305
1306@section Certificates
1307
1308This section documents the requirements on the KDC and client
1309certificates and the format used in the id-pkinit-san OtherName
1310extention.
1311
1312@subsection KDC certificate
1313
1314The certificate for the KDC has serveral requirements.
1315
1316First, the certificate should have an Extended Key Usage (EKU)
1317id-pkkdcekuoid (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5) set. Second, there must be a
1318subjectAltName otherName using OID id-pkinit-san (1.3.6.1.5.2.2) in
1319the type field and a DER encoded KRB5PrincipalName that matches the
1320name of the TGS of the target realm.  Also, if the certificate has a
1321nameConstraints extention with a Generalname with dNSName or iPAdress,
1322it must match the hostname or adress of the KDC.
1323
1324The client is not required by the standard to check the server
1325certificate for this information if the client has external
1326information confirming which certificate the KDC is supposed to be
1327using. However, adding this information to the KDC certificate removes
1328the need to specially configure the client to recognize the KDC
1329certificate.
1330
1331Remember that if the client would accept any certificate as the KDC's
1332certificate, the client could be fooled into trusting something that
1333isn't a KDC and thus expose the user to giving away information (like
1334a password or other private information) that it is supposed to keep
1335secret.
1336
1337@subsection Client certificate
1338
1339The client certificate may need to have a EKU id-pkekuoid
1340(1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4) set depending on the certifiate on the KDC.
1341
1342It possible to store the principal (if allowed by the KDC) in the
1343certificate and thus delegate responsibility to do the mapping between
1344certificates and principals to the CA.
1345
1346This behavior is controlled by KDC configuration option:
1347
1348@example
1349[kdc]
1350	pkinit_principal_in_certificate = yes
1351@end example
1352
1353@subsubsection Using KRB5PrincipalName in id-pkinit-san
1354
1355The OtherName extention in the GeneralName is used to do the mapping
1356between certificate and principal.  For the KDC certificate, this
1357stores the krbtgt principal name for that KDC.  For the client
1358certificate, this stores the principal for which that certificate is
1359allowed to get tickets.
1360
1361The principal is stored in a SubjectAltName in the certificate using
1362OtherName. The OID in the type is id-pkinit-san.
1363
1364@example
1365id-pkinit-san OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= @{ iso (1) org (3) dod (6)
1366internet (1) security (5) kerberosv5 (2) 2 @}
1367@end example
1368
1369The data part of the OtherName is filled with the following DER
1370encoded ASN.1 structure:
1371
1372@example
1373KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE @{
1374	realm [0] Realm,
1375	principalName [1] PrincipalName
1376@}
1377@end example
1378
1379where Realm and PrincipalName is defined by the Kerberos ASN.1
1380specification.
1381
1382@section Naming certificate using hx509
1383
1384hx509 is the X.509 software used in Heimdal to handle
1385certificates. hx509 supports several different syntaxes for specifying
1386certificate files or formats. Several formats may be used:  PEM,
1387certificates embedded in PKCS#12 files, certificates embedded in
1388PKCS#11 devices, and raw DER encoded certificates.
1389
1390Those formats may be specified as follows:
1391
1392@table @asis
1393
1394@item DIR:
1395
1396DIR specifies a directory which contains certificates in the DER or
1397PEM format.
1398
1399The main feature of DIR is that the directory is read on demand when
1400iterating over certificates. This allows applications, in some
1401situations, to avoid having to store all certificates in memory.  It's
1402very useful for tests that iterate over large numbers of certificates.
1403
1404The syntax is:
1405
1406@example
1407DIR:/path/to/der/files
1408@end example
1409
1410@item FILE:
1411
1412FILE: specifies a file that contains a certificate or private key.
1413The file can be either a PEM (openssl) file or a raw DER encoded
1414certificate. If it's a PEM file, it can contain several keys and
1415certificates and the code will try to match the private key and
1416certificate together. Multiple files may be specified, separated by
1417commas.
1418
1419It's useful to have one PEM file that contains all the trust anchors.
1420
1421The syntax is:
1422
1423@example
1424FILE:certificate.pem,private-key.key,other-cert.pem,....
1425@end example
1426
1427@item PKCS11:
1428
1429PKCS11: is used to handle smartcards via PKCS#11 drivers, such as
1430soft-token, opensc, or muscle. The argument specifies a shared object
1431that implements the PKCS#11 API. The default is to use all slots on
1432the device/token.
1433
1434The syntax is:
1435
1436@example
1437PKCS11:shared-object.so
1438@end example
1439
1440@item PKCS12:
1441
1442PKCS12: is used to handle PKCS#12 files. PKCS#12 files commonly have
1443the extension pfx or p12.
1444
1445The syntax is:
1446
1447@example
1448PKCS12:/path/to/file.pfx
1449@end example
1450
1451@end table
1452
1453@section Configure the Kerberos software
1454
1455First configure the client's trust anchors and what parameters to
1456verify. See the subsections below for how to do that. Then, you can
1457use kinit to get yourself tickets. For example:
1458
1459@example
1460$ kinit -C FILE:$HOME/.certs/lha.crt,$HOME/.certs/lha.key lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG
1461Enter your private key passphrase:
1462: lha@@nutcracker ; klist

1543    --subject="CN=CA,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1544    --lifetime=10years \
1545    --certificate="FILE:ca.pem"
1546@end example
1547
1548The KDC needs to have a certificate, so generate a certificate of the
1549type ``pkinit-kdc'' and set the PK-INIT specifial SubjectAltName to the
1550name of the krbtgt of the realm.
1551
1552You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1553below to something appropriate for your site.
1554
1555@example
1556hxtool issue-certificate \
1557    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1558    --generate-key=rsa \
1559    --type="pkinit-kdc" \
1560    --pk-init-principal="krbtgt/TEST.H5L.SE@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1561    --subject="uid=kdc,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1562    --certificate="FILE:kdc.pem"
1563@end example
1564
1565The users also needs to have certificates. For your first client,
1566generate a certificate of type ``pkinit-client''. The client doesn't
1567need to have the PK-INIT SubjectAltName set; you can have the Subject
1568DN in the ACL file (pki-mapping) instead.
1569
1570You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
1571below to something appropriate for your site. You can omit
1572--pk-init-principal if you're going to use the ACL file instead.
1573
1574@example
1575hxtool issue-certificate \
1576    --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
1577    --generate-key=rsa \
1578    --type="pkinit-client" \
1579    --pk-init-principal="lha@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
1580    --subject="uid=lha,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
1581    --certificate="FILE:user.pem"
1582@end example
1583
1584@subsection Validate the certificate
1585
1586hxtool also contains a tool that will validate certificates according
1587to rules from the PKIX document. These checks are not complete, but
1588they provide a good test of whether you got all of the basic bits
1589right in your certificates.
1590
1591@example
1592hxtool validate FILE:user.pem
1593@end example
1594
1595@section Use OpenSSL to create certificates
1596
1597This section tries to give the CA owners hints how to create
1598certificates using OpenSSL (or CA software based on OpenSSL).
1599
1600@subsection Using OpenSSL to create certificates with krb5PrincipalName
1601
1602To make OpenSSL create certificates with krb5PrincipalName, use an
1603@file{openssl.cnf} as described below. To see a complete example of
1604creating client and KDC certificates, see the test-data generation
1605script @file{lib/hx509/data/gen-req.sh} in the source-tree. The
1606certicates it creates are used to test the PK-INIT functionality in
1607@file{tests/kdc/check-kdc.in}.
1608
1609To use this example you have to use OpenSSL 0.9.8a or later.
1610
1611@example
1612
1613[user_certificate]
1614subjectAltName=otherName:1.3.6.1.5.2.2;SEQUENCE:princ_name
1615
1616[princ_name]
1617realm = EXP:0, GeneralString:MY.REALM
1618principal_name = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principal_seq
1619
1620[principal_seq]
1621name_type = EXP:0, INTEGER:1
1622name_string = EXP:1, SEQUENCE:principals
1623
1624[principals]
1625princ1 = GeneralString:userid
1626
1627@end example
1628
1629Command usage:
1630
1631@example
1632openssl x509 -extensions user_certificate
1633openssl ca -extensions user_certificate
1634@end example
1635
1636
1637@c --- ms certificate
1638@c
1639@c [ new_oids ]
1640@c msCertificateTemplateName       = 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2
1641@c
1642@c
1643@c [ req_smartcard ]
1644@c keyUsage                = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
1645@c extendedKeyUsage        = msSmartcardLogin, clientAuth
1646@c msCertificateTemplateName       = ASN1:BMP:SmartcardLogon
1647@c subjectAltName          = otherName:msUPN;UTF8:lukeh@dsg.padl.com
1648@c #subjectAltName         = email:copy

1650
1651@section Using PK-INIT with Windows
1652
1653@subsection Client configration
1654
1655Clients using a Windows KDC with PK-INIT need configuration since
1656windows uses pre-standard format and this can't be autodetected.
1657
1658The pkinit_win2k_require_binding option requires the reply for the KDC
1659to be of the new, secure, type that binds the request to
1660reply. Before, clients could fake the reply from the KDC. To use this
1661option you have to apply a fix from Microsoft.
1662
1663@example
1664[realms]
1665        MY.MS.REALM = @{
1666                pkinit_win2k = yes
1667                pkinit_win2k_require_binding = no
1668	@}
1669@end example
1670
1671@subsection Certificates
1672
1673The client certificates need to have the extended keyusage ``Microsoft
1674Smartcardlogin'' (openssl has the OID shortname msSmartcardLogin).
1675
1676See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 281245 ``Guidelines for Enabling
1677Smart Card Logon with Third-Party Certification Authorities'' for a
1678more extensive description of how set setup an external CA so that it
1679includes all the information required to make a Windows KDC happy.
1680
1681@subsection Configure Windows 2000 CA
1682
1683To enable Microsoft Smartcardlogin for certificates in your Windows
16842000 CA, you want to look at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 313274
1685``HOW TO: Configure a Certification Authority to Issue Smart Card
1686Certificates in Windows''.

1690
1691To debug Kerberos client and server problems you can enable debug
1692traceing by adding the following to @file{/etc/krb5,conf}. Note that the
1693trace logging is sparse at the moment, but will continue to improve.
