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

     37 @node  Configuration file, Creating the database, Setting up a realm, Setting up a realm
     38 @section Configuration file
     39 
     40 To setup a realm you will first have to create a configuration file:
     41 @file{/etc/krb5.conf}. The @file{krb5.conf} file can contain many
     42 configuration options, some of which are described here.
     43 
     44 There is a sample @file{krb5.conf} supplied with the distribution.
     45 
     46 The configuration file is a hierarchical structure consisting of
     47 sections, each containing a list of bindings (either variable
     48 assignments or subsections). A section starts with
     49 @samp{[@samp{section-name}]}.  A binding consists of a left hand side, an equal sign
     50 (@samp{=}) and a right hand side (the left hand side tag must be
     51 separated from the equal sign with some whitespace). Subsections have a
     52 @samp{@{} as the first non-whitespace character after the equal sign. All
     53 other bindings are treated as variable assignments. The value of a
     54 variable extends to the end of the line.
     55 
     56 @example
     57 [section1]
     58         a-subsection = @{
     59                 var = value1
     60                 other-var = value with @{@}
     61                 sub-sub-section = @{
     62                         var = 123
     63                 @}
     64         @}
     65         var = some other value
     66 [section2]
     67         var = yet another value
     68 @end example
     69 
     70 In this manual, names of sections and bindings will be given as strings
     71 separated by slashes (@samp{/}). The @samp{other-var} variable will thus
     72 be @samp{section1/a-subsection/other-var}.
     73 
     74 For in-depth information about the contents of the configuration file, refer to
     75 the @file{krb5.conf} manual page. Some of the more important sections
     76 are briefly described here.
     77 
     78 The @samp{libdefaults} section contains a list of library configuration
     79 parameters, such as the default realm and the timeout for KDC
     80 responses. The @samp{realms} section contains information about specific
     81 realms, such as where they hide their KDC@. This section serves the same
     82 purpose as the Kerberos 4 @file{krb.conf} file, but can contain more
     83 information. Finally the @samp{domain_realm} section contains a list of
     84 mappings from domains to realms, equivalent to the Kerberos 4
     85 @file{krb.realms} file.
     86 
     87 To continue with the realm setup, you will have to create a configuration file,
     88 with contents similar to the following.
     89 
     90 @example
     91 [libdefaults]
     92         default_realm = MY.REALM
     93 [realms]
     94         MY.REALM = @{
     95                 kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
     96                 kdc = my.third.kdc
     97                 kdc = 130.237.237.17
     98                 kdc = [2001:6b0:1:ea::100]:88
     99         @}
    100 [domain_realm]
    101         .my.domain = MY.REALM
    102 
    103 @end example
    104 
    105 If you use a realm name equal to your domain name, you can omit the
    106 @samp{libdefaults}, and @samp{domain_realm}, sections. If you have a DNS
    107 SRV-record for your realm, or your Kerberos server has DNS CNAME
    108 @samp{kerberos.my.realm}, you can omit the @samp{realms} section too.
    109 
    110 @cindex KRB5_CONFIG
    111 If you want to use a different configuration file then the default you
    112 can point a file with the environment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG}.
    113 
    114 @example
    115 env KRB5_CONFIG=$HOME/etc/krb5.conf kinit user@@REALM
    116 @end example
    117 
    118 @node Creating the database, Modifying the database, Configuration file, Setting up a realm
    119 @section Creating the database
    120 
    121 The database library will look for the database in the directory
    122 @file{@value{dbdir}}, so you should probably create that directory.
    123 Make sure the directory has restrictive permissions.
    124 
    125 @example
    126 # mkdir /var/heimdal
    127 # chmod og-rwx /var/heimdal
    128 @end example
    129 
    130 Heimdal supports various database backends: lmdb (LMDB), db3 (Berkeley
    131 DB 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x), db1 (Berkeley DB 2.x), sqlite (SQLite3), and ldap
    132 (LDAP).  The default is @value{dbtype}, and is selected at build time
    133 from one of lmdb, db3, or db1.
    134 
    135 These defaults can be overriden in the 'database' key in the @samp{kdc}
    136 section of the configuration.
    137 
    138 @example
    139 [kdc]
    140         database = @{
    141                 dbname = lmdb:/path/to/db-file
    142                 realm = REALM
    143                 acl_file = /path/to/kadmind.acl
    144                 mkey_file = /path/to/mkey
    145                 log_file = /path/to/iprop-log-file
    146         @}
    147 @end example
    148 
    149 To use LDAP, see @xref{Using LDAP to store the database}.
    150 
    151 The keys of all the principals are stored in the database.  If you
    152 choose to, these can be encrypted with a master key.  You do not have to
    153 remember this key (or password), but just to enter it once and it will
    154 be stored in a file (@file{/var/heimdal/m-key}).  If you want to have a
    155 master key, run @samp{kstash} to create this master key:
    156 
    157 @example
    158 # kstash
    159 Master key:
    160 Verifying password - Master key:
    161 @end example
    162 
    163 If you want to generate a random master key you can use the
    164 @kbd{--random-key} flag to kstash. This will make sure you have a good key
    165 on which attackers can't do a dictionary attack.
    166 
    167 If you have a master key, make sure you make a backup of your master
    168 key file; without it backups of the database are of no use.
    169 
    170 To initialise the database use the @command{kadmin} program, with the
    171 @kbd{-l} option (to enable local database mode). First issue a
    172 @kbd{init MY.REALM} command. This will create the database and insert
    173 default principals for that realm. You can have more than one realm in
    174 one database, so @samp{init} does not destroy any old database.
    175 
    176 Before creating the database, @samp{init} will ask you some questions
    177 about maximum ticket lifetimes.
    178 
    179 After creating the database you should probably add yourself to it. You
    180 do this with the @samp{add} command. It takes as argument the name of a
    181 principal. The principal should contain a realm, so if you haven't set up
    182 a default realm, you will need to explicitly include the realm.
    183 
    184 @example
    185 # kadmin -l
    186 kadmin> init MY.REALM
    187 Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
    188 Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:
    189 kadmin> add me
    190 Max ticket life [unlimited]:
    191 Max renewable life [unlimited]:
    192 Attributes []:
    193 Password:
    194 Verifying password - Password:
    195 @end example
    196 
    197 Now start the KDC and try getting a ticket.
    198 
    199 @example
    200 # kdc &
    201 # kinit me
    202 me@@MY.REALMS's Password:
    203 # klist
    204 Credentials cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
    205         Principal: me@@MY.REALM
    206 
    207   Issued           Expires          Principal
    208 Aug 25 07:25:55  Aug 25 17:25:55  krbtgt/MY.REALM@@MY.REALM
    209 @end example
    210 
    211 If you are curious you can use the @samp{dump} command to list all the
    212 entries in the database.  It should look something similar to the
    213 following example (note that the entries here are truncated for
    214 typographical reasons):
    215 
    216 @smallexample
    217 kadmin> dump

    224 @node Modifying the database, Checking the setup, Creating the database, Setting up a realm
    225 @section Modifying the database
    226 
    227 All modifications of principals are done with with kadmin.
    228 
    229 A principal has several attributes and lifetimes associated with it.
    230 
    231 Principals are added, renamed, modified, and deleted with the kadmin
    232 commands @samp{add}, @samp{rename}, @samp{modify}, @samp{delete}.
    233 Both interactive editing and command line flags can be used (use --help
    234 to list the available options).
    235 
    236 There are different kinds of types for the fields in the database;
    237 attributes, absolute time times and relative times.
    238 
    239 @subsection Attributes
    240 
    241 When doing interactive editing, attributes are listed with @samp{?}.
    242 
    243 The attributes are given in a comma (@samp{,}) separated list.
    244 Attributes are removed from the list by prefixing them with @samp{-}.
    245

    286 @node Checking the setup, keytabs, Modifying the database, Setting up a realm
    287 @section Checking the setup
    288 
    289 There are two tools that can check the consistency of the Kerberos
    290 configuration file and the Kerberos database.
    291 
    292 The Kerberos configuration file is checked using
    293 @command{verify_krb5_conf}. The tool checks for common errors, but
    294 commonly there are several uncommon configuration entries that are
    295 never added to the tool and thus generates ``unknown entry'' warnings.
    296 This is usually nothing to worry about.
    297 
    298 The database check is built into the kadmin tool. It will check for
    299 common configuration error that will cause problems later. Common
    300 check are for existence and flags on important principals. The
    301 database check by run by the following command :
    302 
    303 @example
    304 kadmin -l check REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
    305 @end example
    306 
    307 @node keytabs, Remote administration, Checking the setup, Setting up a realm
    308 @section keytabs
    309 
    310 To extract a service ticket from the database and put it in a keytab, you
    311 need to first create the principal in the database with @samp{add}
    312 (using the @kbd{--random-key} flag to get a random key) and then
    313 extract it with @samp{ext_keytab}.
    314 
    315 @example
    316 kadmin> add --random-key host/my.host.name
    317 Max ticket life [unlimited]:
    318 Max renewable life [unlimited]:

    330 @node Remote administration, Password changing, keytabs, Setting up a realm
    331 @section Remote administration
    332 
    333 The administration server, @command{kadmind}, can be started by
    334 @command{inetd} (which isn't recommended) or run as a normal daemon. If you
    335 want to start it from @command{inetd} you should add a line similar to the
    336 one below to your @file{/etc/inetd.conf}.
    337 
    338 @example
    339 kerberos-adm stream     tcp     nowait  root /usr/heimdal/libexec/kadmind kadmind
    340 @end example
    341 
    342 You might need to add @samp{kerberos-adm} to your @file{/etc/services}
    343 as @samp{749/tcp}.
    344 
    345 Access to the administration server is controlled by an ACL file,
    346 (default @file{/var/heimdal/kadmind.acl}.) The file has the following
    347 syntax:
    348 @smallexample
    349 principal       [priv1,priv2,...]       [glob-pattern]
    350 @end smallexample
    351 
    352 The matching is from top to bottom for matching principals (and if given,
    353 glob-pattern).  When there is a match, the access rights of that line are
    354 applied.
    355 
    356 The privileges you can assign to a principal are: @samp{add},
    357 @samp{change-password} (or @samp{cpw} for short), @samp{delete},
    358 @samp{get}, @samp{list}, and @samp{modify}, or the special privilege
    359 @samp{all}. All of these roughly correspond to the different commands
    360 in @command{kadmin}.
    361 
    362 If a @var{glob-pattern} is given on a line, it restricts the access
    363 rights for the principal to only apply for subjects that match the
    364 pattern.  The patterns are of the same type as those used in shell
    365 globbing, see @url{none,,fnmatch(3)}.
    366 
    367 In the example below @samp{lha/admin} can change every principal in the
    368 database. @samp{jimmy/admin} can only modify principals that belong to
    369 the realm @samp{E.KTH.SE}. @samp{mille/admin} is working at the
    370 help desk, so he should only be able to change the passwords for single
    371 component principals (ordinary users). He will not be able to change any
    372 @samp{/admin} principal.
    373 
    374 @example
    375 lha/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all
    376 jimmy/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all		*@@E.KTH.SE
    377 jimmy/admin@@E.KTH.SE	all		*/*@@E.KTH.SE

    380 
    381 @node Password changing, Testing clients and servers, Remote administration, Setting up a realm
    382 @section Password changing
    383 
    384 To allow users to change their passwords, you should run @command{kpasswdd}.
    385 It is not run from @command{inetd}.
    386 
    387 You might need to add @samp{kpasswd} to your @file{/etc/services} as
    388 @samp{464/udp}.  If your realm is not setup to use DNS, you might also
    389 need to add a @samp{kpasswd_server} entry to the realm configuration
    390 in @file{/etc/krb5.conf} on client machines:
    391 
    392 @example
    393 [realms]
    394         MY.REALM = @{
    395                 kdc = my.kdc my.slave.kdc
    396                 kpasswd_server = my.kdc
    397         @}
    398 @end example
    399 
    400 @subsection Password quality assurance
    401 
    402 It is important that users have good passwords, both to make it harder
    403 to guess them and to avoid off-line attacks (although
    404 pre-authentication provides some defence against off-line attacks).
    405 To ensure that the users choose good passwords, you can enable
    406 password quality controls in @command{kpasswdd} and @command{kadmind}.
    407 The controls themselves are done in a shared library or an external
    408 program that is used by @command{kpasswdd}.  To configure in these
    409 controls, add lines similar to the following to your
    410 @file{/etc/krb5.conf}:
    411 
    412 @example
    413 [password_quality]
    414 	policies = external-check builtin:minimum-length modulename:policyname
    415 	external_program = /bin/false
    416 	policy_libraries = @var{library1.so} @var{library2.so}
    417 @end example
    418 
    419 In @samp{[password_quality]policies} the module name is optional if
    420 the policy name is unique in all modules (members of
    421 @samp{policy_libraries}).  All built-in policies can be qualified with
    422 a module name of @samp{builtin} to unambiguously specify the built-in
    423 policy and not a policy by the same name from a loaded module.
    424 
    425 The built-in policies are
    426 
    427 @itemize @bullet
    428 
    429 @item external-check
    430 
    431 Executes the program specified by @samp{[password_quality]external_program}.
    432 
    433 A number of key/value pairs are passed as input to the program, one per
    434 line, ending with the string @samp{end}.  The key/value lines are of
    435 the form
    436 @example
    437 principal: @var{principal}
    438 new-password: @var{password}
    439 @end example
    440 where @var{password} is the password to check for the previous
    441 @var{principal}.
    442 
    443 If the external application approves the password, it should return
    444 @samp{APPROVED} on standard out and exit with exit code 0.  If it
    445 doesn't approve the password, an one line error message explaining the
    446 problem should be returned on standard error and the application
    447 should exit with exit code 0.  In case of a fatal error, the
    448 application should, if possible, print an error message on standard
    449 error and exit with a non-zero error code.
    450 
    451 @item minimum-length
    452 
    453 The minimum length password quality check reads the configuration file
    454 stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_length} and requires the password
    455 to be at least this length.
    456 
    457 @item character-class
    458 
    459 The character-class password quality check reads the configuration
    460 file stanza @samp{[password_quality]min_classes}. The policy requires
    461 the password to have characters from at least that many character

    472 Code for a password quality checking function that uses the cracklib
    473 library can be found in @file{lib/kadm5/sample_password_check.c} in
    474 the source code distribution.  It requires that the cracklib library
    475 be built with the patch available at
    476 @url{ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/cracklib.patch}.
    477 
    478 A sample policy external program is included in
    479 @file{lib/kadm5/check-cracklib.pl}.
    480 
    481 If no password quality checking function is configured, the only check
    482 performed is that the password is at least six characters long.
    483 
    484 To check the password policy settings, use the command
    485 @command{verify-password-quality} in @command{kadmin} program. The password
    486 verification is only performed locally, on the client.  It may be
    487 convenient to set the environment variable @samp{KRB5_CONFIG} to point
    488 to a test version of @file{krb5.conf} while you're testing the
    489 @samp{[password_quality]} stanza that way.

    499 
    500 It is desirable to have at least one backup (slave) server in case the
    501 master server fails. It is possible to have any number of such slave
    502 servers but more than three usually doesn't buy much more redundancy.
    503 
    504 All Kerberos servers for a realm must have the same database so that
    505 they present the same service to the users.  The
    506 @pindex hprop
    507 @command{hprop} program, running on the master, will propagate the database
    508 to the slaves, running
    509 @pindex hpropd
    510 @command{hpropd} processes.
    511 
    512 Every slave needs a database directory, the master key (if it was used
    513 for the database) and a keytab with the principal
    514 @samp{hprop/@var{hostname}}.  Add the principal with the
    515 @pindex ktutil
    516 @command{ktutil} command and start
    517 @pindex hpropd
    518 @command{hpropd}, as follows:
    519 
    520 @example
    521 slave# ktutil get -p foo/admin hprop/`hostname`
    522 slave# mkdir /var/heimdal
    523 slave# hpropd
    524 @end example
    525 
    526 The master will use the principal @samp{kadmin/hprop} to authenticate to
    527 the slaves.  This principal should be added when running @kbd{kadmin -l
    528 init} but if you do not have it in your database for whatever reason,
    529 please add it with @kbd{kadmin -l add}.
    530 
    531 Then run
    532 @pindex hprop
    533 @code{hprop} on the master:
    534 
    535 @example
    536 master# hprop slave
    537 @end example
    538 
    539 This was just an hands-on example to make sure that everything was
    540 working properly.  Doing it manually is of course the wrong way, and to
    541 automate this you will want to start
    542 @pindex hpropd
    543 @command{hpropd} from @command{inetd} on the slave(s) and regularly run
    544 @pindex hprop
    545 @command{hprop} on the master to regularly propagate the database.
    546 Starting the propagation once an hour from @command{cron} is probably a
    547 good idea.
    548 
    549 @node Incremental propagation, Encryption types and salting, Slave Servers, Setting up a realm
    550 @section Incremental propagation
    551 
    552 There is also a newer mechanism for
    553 doing incremental propagation in Heimdal.  Instead of sending the whole
    554 database regularly, it sends the changes as they happen on the master to
    555 the slaves.  The master keeps track of all the changes by assigning a
    556 version number to every change to the database.  The slaves know which
    557 was the latest version they saw and in this way it can be determined if
    558 they are in sync or not.  A log of all the changes is kept on the master,
    559 and when a slave is at an older version than the oldest one in the
    560 log, the whole database has to be sent.
    561 
    562 Protocol-wise, all the slaves connect to the master and as a greeting
    563 tell it the latest version that they have (@samp{IHAVE} message).  The
    564 master then responds by sending all the changes between that version and
    565 the current version at the master (a series of @samp{FORYOU} messages)
    566 or the whole database in a @samp{TELLYOUEVERYTHING} message.  There is
    567 also a keep-alive protocol that makes sure all slaves are up and running.
    568 
    569 In addition on listening on the network to get connection from new
    570 slaves, the ipropd-master also listens on a status unix
    571 socket. kadmind and kpasswdd both open that socket when a transation
    572 is done and written a notification to the socket. That cause
    573 ipropd-master to check for new version in the log file. As a fallback in
    574 case a notification is lost by the unix socket, the log file is
    575 checked after 30 seconds of no event.
    576 
    577 @subsection Configuring incremental propagation
    578 
    579 The program that runs on the master is @command{ipropd-master} and all
    580 clients run @command{ipropd-slave}.
    581 
    582 Create the file @file{/var/heimdal/slaves} on the master containing all
    583 the slaves that the database should be propagated to.  Each line contains
    584 the full name of the principal (for example
    585 @samp{iprop/hemligare.foo.se@@FOO.SE}).
    586 
    587 You should already have @samp{iprop/tcp} defined as 2121, in your
    588 @file{/etc/services}.  Otherwise, or if you need to use a different port
    589 for some peculiar reason, you can use the @kbd{--port} option.  This is
    590 useful when you have multiple realms to distribute from one server.
    591 
    592 Then you need to create those principals that you added in the
    593 configuration file.  Create one @samp{iprop/hostname} for the master and
    594 for every slave.
    595 
    596 
    597 @example
    598 master# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
    599 @end example
    600 
    601 @example
    602 slave# /usr/heimdal/sbin/ktutil get iprop/`hostname`
    603 @end example
    604 
    605 
    606 The next step is to start the @command{ipropd-master} process on the master
    607 server.  The @command{ipropd-master} listens on the UNIX domain socket
    608 @file{/var/heimdal/signal} to know when changes have been made to the
    609 database so they can be propagated to the slaves.  There is also a
    610 safety feature of testing the version number regularly (every 30
    611 seconds) to see if it has been modified by some means that do not raise
    612 this signal.  Then, start @command{ipropd-slave} on all the slaves:
    613 
    614 @example
    615 master# /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-master &
    616 slave#  /usr/heimdal/libexec/ipropd-slave master &
    617 @end example
    618 
    619 To manage the iprop log file you should use the @command{iprop-log}
    620 command. With it you can dump, truncate and replay the logfile.
    621 
    622 @subsection Status of iprop master and slave
    623 
    624 Both the master and slave provides status of the world as they see it.
    625 
    626 The master write outs the current status of the slaves, last seen and
    627 their version number in @file{/var/heimdal/slaves-stats}.
    628 
    629 The slave write out the current status in @file{/var/heimdal/ipropd-slave-status}.
    630 
    631 These locations can be changed with command line options, and in the
    632 case of @command{ipropd_master}, the configuration file.

    636 @cindex Salting
    637 @cindex Encryption types
    638 
    639 The encryption types that the KDC is going to assign by default is
    640 possible to change. Since the keys used for user authentication is
    641 salted the encryption types are described together with the salt
    642 strings.
    643 
    644 Salting is used to make it harder to pre-calculate all possible
    645 keys. Using a salt increases the search space to make it almost
    646 impossible to pre-calculate all keys. Salting is the process of mixing a
    647 public string (the salt) with the password, then sending it through an
    648 encryption type specific string-to-key function that will output the
    649 fixed size encryption key.
    650 
    651 In Kerberos 5 the salt is determined by the encryption type, except in
    652 some special cases.
    653 
    654 In @code{des} there is the Kerberos 4 salt
    655 (none at all) or the afs-salt (using the cell (realm in
    656 AFS lingo)).
    657 
    658 In @code{arcfour} (the encryption type that Microsoft Windows 2000 uses)
    659 there is no salt. This is to be compatible with NTLM keys in Windows
    660 NT 4.
    661 
    662 @code{[kadmin]default_keys} in @file{krb5.conf} controls
    663 what salting to use.
    664 
    665 The syntax of @code{[kadmin]default_keys} is
    666 @samp{[etype:]salt-type[:salt-string]}. @samp{etype} is the encryption
    667 type (des-cbc-crc, arcfour-hmac-md5, aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96),
    668 @code{salt-type} is the type of salt (pw-salt or afs3-salt), and the
    669 salt-string is the string that will be used as salt (remember that if
    670 the salt is appended/prepended, the empty salt "" is the same thing as
    671 no salt at all).
    672 
    673 Common types of salting include
    674 
    675 @itemize @bullet
    676 @item @code{v4} (or @code{des:pw-salt:})
    677 
    678 The Kerberos 4 salting is using no salt at all. Reason there is colon
    679 at the end of the salt string is that it makes the salt the empty
    680 string (same as no salt).
    681 
    682 @item @code{v5} (or @code{pw-salt})
    683 
    684 @code{pw-salt} uses the default salt for each encryption type is
    685 specified for. If the encryption type @samp{etype} isn't given, all
    686 default encryption will be used.
    687 
    688 @item @code{afs3-salt}
    689 
    690 @code{afs3-salt} is the salt that is used with Transarc kaserver. It's
    691 the cell name appended to the password.

    699 
    700 When KCM running is easy for users to switch between different
    701 kerberos principals using @file{kswitch} or built in support in
    702 application, like OpenSSH's GSSAPIClientIdentity.
    703 
    704 Other advantages are that there is the long term credentials are not
    705 written to disk and on reboot the credential is removed when kcm
    706 process stopps running.
    707 
    708 Configure the system startup script to start the kcm process,

    728 @end example
    729 
    730 When switching between credentials you can use @command{kswitch}.

    733 $ kswitch -i
    734      Principal
    735 1    lha@@KTH.SE
    736 2    lha@@SU.SE
    737 Select number: 2
    738 @end example
    739 
    740 After switching, a new set of credentials are used as default.
    741 
    742 @example
    743 $ klist -l
    744   Name         Cache name               Expires

    767 
    768 Suppose you reside in the realm @samp{MY.REALM}, how do you
    769 authenticate to a server in @samp{OTHER.REALM}? Having valid tickets in
    770 @samp{MY.REALM} allows you to communicate with Kerberised services in that
    771 realm. However, the computer in the other realm does not have a secret
    772 key shared with the Kerberos server in your realm.
    773 
    774 It is possible to share keys between two realms that trust each
    775 other. When a client program, such as @command{telnet} or @command{ssh},
    776 finds that the other computer is in a different realm, it will try to
    777 get a ticket granting ticket for that other realm, but from the local
    778 Kerberos server. With that ticket granting ticket, it will then obtain
    779 service tickets from the Kerberos server in the other realm.
    780 
    781 For a two way trust between @samp{MY.REALM} and @samp{OTHER.REALM}
    782 add the following principals to each realm. The principals should be
    783 @samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM} and
    784 @samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} in @samp{MY.REALM}, and
    785 @samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} and
    786 @samp{krbtgt/OTHER.REALM@@MY.REALM}in @samp{OTHER.REALM}.
    787 
    788 In Kerberos 5 the trust can be configured to be one way. So that
    789 users from @samp{MY.REALM} can authenticate to services in
    790 @samp{OTHER.REALM}, but not the opposite. In the example above, the
    791 @samp{krbtgt/MY.REALM@@OTHER.REALM} then should be removed.
    792 
    793 The two principals must have the same key, key version number, and the
    794 same set of encryption types. Remember to transfer the two keys in a
    795 safe manner.

    831 Under some circumstances, you may not wish to set up direct
    832 cross-realm trust with every realm to which you wish to authenticate
    833 or from which you wish to accept authentications. Kerberos supports
    834 multi-hop cross-realm trust where a client principal in realm A
    835 authenticates to a service in realm C through a realm B with which
    836 both A and C have cross-realm trust relationships. In this situation,
    837 A and C need not set up cross-realm principals between each other.
    838 
    839 If you want to use cross-realm authentication through an intermediate
    840 realm, it must be explicitly allowed by either the KDCs for the realm
    841 to which the client is authenticating (in this case, realm C), or the
    842 server receiving the request. This is done in @file{krb5.conf} in the
    843 @code{[capaths]} section.
    844 
    845 In addition, the client in realm A need to be configured to know how
    846 to reach realm C via realm B. This can be done either on the client or
    847 via KDC configuration in the KDC for realm A.
    848 
    849 @subsection Allowing cross-realm transits
    850 
    851 When the ticket transits through a realm to another realm, the
    852 destination realm adds its peer to the "transited-realms" field in the
    853 ticket. The field is unordered, since there is no way to know if know
    854 if one of the transited-realms changed the order of the list. For the
    855 authentication to be accepted by the final destination realm, all of
    856 the transited realms must be listed as trusted in the @code{[capaths]}
    857 configuration, either in the KDC for the destination realm or on the
    858 server receiving the authentication.
    859 
    860 The syntax for @code{[capaths]} section is:
    861 
    862 @example
    863 [capaths]
    864         CLIENT-REALM = @{
    865                 SERVER-REALM = PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS ...
    866         @}
    867 @end example
    868 
    869 In the following example, the realm @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} only has
    870 direct cross-realm set up with @code{KTH.SE}.  @code{KTH.SE} has
    871 direct cross-realm set up with @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and @code{SU.SE}.
    872 @code{DSV.SU.SE} only has direct cross-realm set up with @code{SU.SE}.
    873 The goal is to allow principals in the @code{DSV.SU.SE} or
    874 @code{SU.SE} realms to authenticate to services in
    875 @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  This is done with the following
    876 @code{[capaths]} entry on either the server accepting authentication
    877 or on the KDC for @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
    878 
    879 @example
    880 [capaths]
    881 	SU.SE = @{
    882                     STACKEN.KTH.SE = KTH.SE
    883 	@}
    884 	DSV.SU.SE = @{
    885                     STACKEN.KTH.SE = SU.SE KTH.SE
    886 	@}
    887 @end example
    888 
    889 The first entry allows cross-realm authentication from clients in
    890 @code{SU.SE} transiting through @code{KTH.SE} to
    891 @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  The second entry allows cross-realm
    892 authentication from clients in @code{DSV.SU.SE} transiting through
    893 both @code{SU.SE} and @code{KTH.SE} to @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
    894 
    895 Be careful of which realm goes where; it's easy to put realms in the
    896 wrong place.  The block is tagged with the client realm (the realm of
    897 the principal authenticating), and the realm before the equal sign is
    898 the final destination realm: the realm to which the client is
    899 authenticating.  After the equal sign go all the realms that the
    900 client transits through.
    901 
    902 The order of the @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is not important when
    903 doing transit cross realm verification.
    904 
    905 @subsection Configuring client cross-realm transits
    906 
    907 The @code{[capaths]} section is also used for another purpose: to tell
    908 clients which realm to transit through to reach a realm with which
    909 their local realm does not have cross-realm trust.  This can be done
    910 by either putting a @code{[capaths]} entry in the configuration of the
    911 client or by putting the entry in the configuration of the KDC for the
    912 client's local realm.  In the latter case, the KDC will then hand back
    913 a referral to the client when the client requests a cross-realm ticket
    914 to the destination realm, telling the client to try to go through an
    915 intermediate realm.
    916 
    917 For client configuration, the order of @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS}
    918 is significant, since only the first realm in this section (after the
    919 equal sign) is used by the client.
    920 
    921 For example, again consider the @code{[capaths]} entry above for the
    922 case of a client in the @code{SU.SE} realm, and assume that the client
    923 or the @code{SU.SE} KDC has that @code{[capaths]} entry.  If the
    924 client attempts to authenticate to a service in the
    925 @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} realm, that entry says to first authenticate
    926 cross-realm to the @code{KTH.SE} realm (the first realm listed in the
    927 @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} section), and then from there to
    928 @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.
    929 
    930 Each entry in @code{[capaths]} can only give the next hop, since only
    931 the first realm in @code{PERMITTED-CROSS-REALMS} is used.  If, for
    932 instance, a client in @code{DSV.SU.SE} had a @code{[capaths]}
    933 configuration as above but without the first block for @code{SU.SE},
    934 they would not be able to reach @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE}.  They would get
    935 as far as @code{SU.SE} based on the @code{DSV.SU.SE} entry in
    936 @code{[capaths]} and then attempt to go directly from there to
    937 @code{STACKEN.KTH.SE} and get stuck (unless, of course, the
    938 @code{SU.SE} KDC had the additional entry required to tell the client
    939 to go through @code{KTH.SE}).
    940 
    941 @subsection Active Directory forest example
    942 
    943 One common place where a @code{[capaths]} configuration is desirable
    944 is with Windows Active Directory forests.  One common Active Directory
    945 configuration is to have one top-level Active Directory realm but then
    946 divide systems, services, and users into child realms (perhaps based
    947 on organizational unit).  One generally establishes cross-realm trust
    948 only with the top-level realm, and then uses transit policy to permit
    949 authentications to and from the child realms.
    950 
    951 For example, suppose an organization has a Heimdal realm
    952 @code{EXAMPLE.COM}, a Windows Active Directory realm
    953 @code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}, and then child Active Directory realms
    954 @code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}.  The
    955 goal is to allow users in any of these realms to authenticate to
    956 services in any of these realms.  The @code{EXAMPLE.COM} KDC (and
    957 possibly client) configuration should therefore contain a
    958 @code{[capaths]} section as follows:
    959 
    960 @example
    961 [capaths]
    962 	ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
    963 		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
    964 	@}
    965 	SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = @{
    966 		EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
    967 	@}
    968 	EXAMPLE.COM = @{
    969 		ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
    970 		SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM = WIN.EXAMPLE.COM
    971 	@}
    972 @end example
    973 
    974 The first two blocks allow clients in the @code{ENGR.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM}
    975 and @code{SALES.WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} realms to authenticate to services in
    976 the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} realm.  The third block tells the client (or
    977 tells the KDC to tell the client via referrals) to transit through
    978 @code{WIN.EXAMPLE.COM} to reach these realms.  Both sides of the
    979 configuration are needed for bi-directional transited cross-realm
    980 authentication.
    981 
    982 @c To test the cross realm configuration, use:
    983 @c    kmumble transit-check client server transit-realms ...

    988 
    989 @subsection Using DNS to find KDC
    990 
    991 If there is information about where to find the KDC or kadmind for a
    992 realm in the @file{krb5.conf} for a realm, that information will be
    993 preferred, and DNS will not be queried.
    994 
    995 Heimdal will try to use DNS to find the KDCs for a realm. First it
    996 will try to find a @code{SRV} resource record (RR) for the realm. If no
    997 SRV RRs are found, it will fall back to looking for an @code{A} RR for
    998 a machine named kerberos.REALM, and then kerberos-1.REALM, etc
    999 
   1000 Adding this information to DNS minimises the client configuration (in
   1001 the common case, resulting in no configuration needed) and allows the
   1002 system administrator to change the number of KDCs and on what machines
   1003 they are running without caring about clients.
   1004 
   1005 The downside of using DNS is that the client might be fooled to use the
   1006 wrong server if someone fakes DNS replies/data, but storing the IP
   1007 addresses of the KDC on all the clients makes it very hard to change
   1008 the infrastructure.
   1009 
   1010 An example of the configuration for the realm @code{EXAMPLE.COM}:
   1011 
   1012 @example
   1013 
   1014 $ORIGIN example.com.
   1015 _kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
   1016 _kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos.example.com.
   1017 _kerberos._tcp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
   1018 _kerberos._udp          SRV     10 1 88 kerberos-1.example.com.
   1019 _kpasswd._udp           SRV     10 1 464 kerberos.example.com.
   1020 _kerberos-adm._tcp	SRV	10 1 749 kerberos.example.com.
   1021 
   1022 @end example
   1023 
   1024 More information about DNS SRV resource records can be found in
   1025 RFC-2782 (A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)).
   1026 
   1027 @subsection Using DNS to map hostname to Kerberos realm
   1028 
   1029 Heimdal also supports a way to lookup a realm from a hostname. This to
   1030 minimise configuration needed on clients. Using this has the drawback
   1031 that clients can be redirected by an attacker to realms within the
   1032 same cross realm trust and made to believe they are talking to the
   1033 right server (since Kerberos authentication will succeed).
   1034 
   1035 An example configuration that informs clients that for the realms
   1036 it.example.com and srv.example.com, they should use the realm
   1037 EXAMPLE.COM:
   1038 
   1039 @example
   1040 
   1041 $ORIGIN example.com.
   1042 _kerberos.it		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"
   1043 _kerberos.srv		TXT     "EXAMPLE.COM"

   1048 @section Using LDAP to store the database
   1049 @cindex Using the LDAP backend
   1050 
   1051 This document describes how to install the LDAP backend for
   1052 Heimdal. Note that before attempting to configure such an
   1053 installation, you should be aware of the implications of storing
   1054 private information (such as users' keys) in a directory service
   1055 primarily designed for public information. Nonetheless, with a
   1056 suitable authorisation policy, it is possible to set this up in a
   1057 secure fashion. A knowledge of LDAP, Kerberos, and C is necessary to
   1058 install this backend. The HDB schema was devised by Leif Johansson.
   1059 
   1060 This assumes, OpenLDAP 2.3 or later.
   1061 
   1062 Requirements:
   1063 
   1064 @itemize @bullet
   1065 
   1066 @item
   1067 A current release of Heimdal, configured with
   1068 @code{--with-openldap=/usr/local} (adjust according to where you have
   1069 installed OpenLDAP).
   1070 
   1071 You can verify that you manage to configure LDAP support by running
   1072 @file{kdc --builtin-hdb}, and checking that @samp{ldap:} is one entry
   1073 in the list.
   1074 
   1075 Its also possible to configure the ldap backend as a shared module,
   1076 see option --hdb-openldap-module to configure.
   1077 
   1078 @item
   1079 Optionally configure OpenLDAP with @kbd{--enable-local} to enable the
   1080 local transport.
   1081 
   1082 @item
   1083 Add the hdb schema to the LDAP server, it's included in the source-tree
   1084 in @file{lib/hdb/hdb.schema}. Example from slapd.conf:
   1085 
   1086 @example
   1087 include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/hdb.schema
   1088 @end example
   1089 
   1090 @item
   1091 Configure the LDAP server ACLs to accept writes from clients. For
   1092 example:
   1093 
   1094 @example
   1095 access to *
   1096         by dn.exact="uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com" write
   1097         ...
   1098 
   1099 authz-regexp "gidNumber=.*\\\+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth''
   1100 	"uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com"
   1101 
   1102 @end example
   1103 
   1104 The sasl-regexp is for mapping between the SASL/EXTERNAL and a user in
   1105 a tree.  The user that the key is mapped to should be have a
   1106 krb5Principal aux object with krb5PrincipalName set so that the
   1107 ``creator'' and ``modifier'' is right in @file{kadmin}.
   1108 
   1109 Another option is to create an admins group and add the dn to that
   1110 group.
   1111 
   1112 If a non-local LDAP connection is used, the authz-regexp is not
   1113 needed as Heimdal will bind to LDAP over the network using
   1114 provided credentials.
   1115 
   1116 Since Heimdal talks to the LDAP server over a UNIX domain socket when
   1117 configured for ldapi:///, and uses external sasl authentication, it's
   1118 not possible to require security layer quality (ssf in cyrus-sasl lingo).
   1119 So that requirement has to be turned off in OpenLDAP @command{slapd}
   1120 configuration file
   1121 @file{slapd.conf}.
   1122 
   1123 @example
   1124 sasl-secprops minssf=0
   1125 @end example
   1126 
   1127 @item
   1128 
   1129 Start @command{slapd} with the local listener (as well as the default TCP/IP
   1130 listener on port 389) as follows:
   1131 
   1132 @example
   1133     slapd -h "ldapi:/// ldap:///"
   1134 @end example
   1135 
   1136 Note: These is a bug in @command{slapd} where it appears to corrupt the krb5Key
   1137 binary attribute on shutdown. This may be related to our use of the V3
   1138 schema definition syntax instead of the old UMich-style, V2 syntax.
   1139 
   1140 @item
   1141 You should specify the distinguished name under which your
   1142 principals will be stored in @file{krb5.conf}. Also you need to
   1143 enter the path to the kadmin acl file:
   1144 
   1145 
   1146 @example
   1147 [kdc]
   1148 	# Optional configuration
   1149 	hdb-ldap-structural-object = inetOrgPerson
   1150 	hdb-ldap-url = ldapi:/// (default), ldap://hostname or ldaps://hostname
   1151 	hdb-ldap-secret-file = /path/to/file/containing/ldap/credentials
   1152 	hdb-ldap-start-tls = false
   1153 
   1154         database = @{
   1155                 dbname = ldap:ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com
   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
   1162 directory to have the raw keys inside it.  The
   1163 hdb-ldap-structural-object is not necessary if you do not need Samba
   1164 comatibility.
   1165 
   1166 If connecting to a server over a non-local transport, the @samp{hdb-ldap-url}
   1167 and @samp{hdb-ldap-secret-file} options must be provided. The
   1168 @samp{hdb-ldap-secret-file} must contain the bind credentials:
   1169 
   1170 @example
   1171 [kdc]
   1172 	hdb-ldap-bind-dn = uid=heimdal,dc=services,dc=example,dc=com
   1173 	hdb-ldap-bind-password = secretBindPassword
   1174 @end example
   1175 
   1176 The @samp{hdb-ldap-secret-file} and should be protected with appropriate
   1177 file permissions
   1178 
   1179 @item
   1180 Once you have built Heimdal and started the LDAP server, run kadmin
   1181 (as usual) to initialise the database. Note that the instructions for
   1182 stashing a master key are as per any Heimdal installation.
   1183 
   1184 @example
   1185 kdc# kadmin -l
   1186 kadmin> init EXAMPLE.COM
   1187 Realm max ticket life [unlimited]:
   1188 Realm max renewable ticket life [unlimited]:

   1195 lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
   1196 Verifying password - lukeh@@EXAMPLE.COM's Password:
   1197 kadmin> exit
   1198 @end example
   1199 
   1200 Verify that the principal database has indeed been stored in the
   1201 directory with the following command:
   1202 
   1203 @example
   1204 kdc# ldapsearch -L -h localhost -D cn=manager \
   1205  -w secret -b ou=KerberosPrincipals,dc=example,dc=com \
   1206  'objectclass=krb5KDCEntry'
   1207 @end example
   1208 
   1209 @item
   1210 Now consider adding indexes to the database to speed up the access, at
   1211 least theses should be added to slapd.conf.
   1212 
   1213 @example
   1214 index	objectClass		eq
   1215 index	cn			eq,sub,pres
   1216 index	uid			eq,sub,pres
   1217 index	displayName		eq,sub,pres

   1246 
   1247 First, you should set up Samba and get that working with LDAP backend.
   1248 
   1249 Now you can proceed as in @xref{Using LDAP to store the database}.
   1250 Heimdal will pick up the Samba LDAP entries if they are in the same
   1251 search space as the Kerberos entries.

   1255 
   1256 Some services require Kerberos credentials when they start to make
   1257 connections to other services or need to use them when they have started.
   1258 
   1259 The easiest way to get tickets for a service is to store the key in a
   1260 keytab. Both ktutil get and kadmin ext can be used to get a
   1261 keytab. ktutil get is better in that way it changes the key/password
   1262 for the user. This is also the problem with ktutil. If ktutil is used
   1263 for the same service principal on several hosts, they keytab will only
   1264 be useful on the last host. In that case, run the extract command on
   1265 one host and then securely copy the keytab around to all other hosts
   1266 that need it.
   1267 
   1268 @example
   1269 host# ktutil -k /etc/krb5-service.keytab \
   1270       get -p lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
   1271 lha/admin@@EXAMPLE.ORG's Password:
   1272 @end example
   1273 
   1274 To get a Kerberos credential file for the service, use kinit in the
   1275 @kbd{--keytab} mode. This will not ask for a password but instead fetch the
   1276 key from the keytab.
   1277 
   1278 @example
   1279 service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
   1280                --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \
   1281        service-principal@@EXAMPLE.ORG
   1282 @end example
   1283 
   1284 Long running services might need credentials longer then the
   1285 expiration time of the tickets. kinit can run in a mode that refreshes
   1286 the tickets before they expire. This is useful for services that write
   1287 into AFS and other distributed file systems using Kerberos. To run the
   1288 long running script, just append the program and arguments (if any)
   1289 after the principal. kinit will stop refreshing credentials and remove
   1290 the credentials when the script-to-start-service exits.
   1291 
   1292 @example
   1293 service@@host$ kinit --cache=/var/run/service_krb5_cache \
   1294        --keytab=/etc/krb5-service.keytab \

   1303 PK-INIT leverages an existing PKI (public key infrastructure), using

   1305 ticket-granting ticket).
   1306 
   1307 To use PK-INIT you must first have a PKI. If you don't have one, it is
   1308 time to create it. You should first read the whole current chapter of
   1309 the document to see the requirements imposed on the CA software.
   1310 
   1311 A mapping between the PKI certificate and what principals that
   1312 certificate is allowed to use must exist. There are several ways to do
   1313 this. The administrator can use a configuration file, store the
   1314 principal in the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate, or store

   1324 create certificates}.
   1325 
   1326 @subsection KDC certificate
   1327 
   1328 The certificate for the KDC has several requirements.
   1329 
   1330 First, the certificate should have an Extended Key Usage (EKU)
   1331 id-pkkdcekuoid (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5) set. Second, there must be a
   1332 subjectAltName otherName using OID id-pkinit-san (1.3.6.1.5.2.2) in
   1333 the type field and a DER encoded KRB5PrincipalName that matches the
   1334 name of the TGS of the target realm.  Also, if the certificate has a
   1335 nameConstraints extension with a Generalname with dNSName or iPAdress,
   1336 it must match the hostname or adress of the KDC.
   1337 
   1338 The client is not required by the standard to check the server
   1339 certificate for this information if the client has external
   1340 information confirming which certificate the KDC is supposed to be
   1341 using. However, adding this information to the KDC certificate removes
   1342 the need to specially configure the client to recognize the KDC
   1343 certificate.
   1344 
   1345 Remember that if the client would accept any certificate as the KDC's
   1346 certificate, the client could be fooled into trusting something that
   1347 isn't a KDC and thus expose the user to giving away information (like
   1348 a password or other private information) that it is supposed to keep
   1349 secret.
   1350 
   1351 @subsection Client certificate
   1352 
   1353 The client certificate may need to have a EKU id-pkekuoid
   1354 (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4) set depending on the configuration on the KDC.
   1355 
   1356 It possible to store the principal (if allowed by the KDC) in the
   1357 certificate and thus delegate responsibility to do the mapping between
   1358 certificates and principals to the CA.
   1359 
   1360 This behavior is controlled by KDC configuration option:
   1361 
   1362 @example
   1363 [kdc]
   1364 	pkinit_principal_in_certificate = yes
   1365 @end example
   1366 
   1367 @subsubsection Using KRB5PrincipalName in id-pkinit-san
   1368 
   1369 The OtherName extension in the GeneralName is used to do the mapping
   1370 between certificate and principal.  For the KDC certificate, this
   1371 stores the krbtgt principal name for that KDC.  For the client
   1372 certificate, this stores the principal for which that certificate is
   1373 allowed to get tickets.
   1374 
   1375 The principal is stored in a SubjectAltName in the certificate using
   1376 OtherName. The OID in the type is id-pkinit-san.
   1377 
   1378 @example
   1379 id-pkinit-san OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= @{ iso (1) org (3) dod (6)
   1380 internet (1) security (5) kerberosv5 (2) 2 @}
   1381 @end example
   1382 
   1383 The data part of the OtherName is filled with the following DER
   1384 encoded ASN.1 structure:
   1385 
   1386 @example
   1387 KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE @{
   1388 	realm [0] Realm,
   1389 	principalName [1] PrincipalName
   1390 @}
   1391 @end example
   1392 
   1393 where Realm and PrincipalName is defined by the Kerberos ASN.1
   1394 specification.
   1395 
   1396 @section Naming certificate using hx509
   1397 
   1398 hx509 is the X.509 software used in Heimdal to handle
   1399 certificates. hx509 supports several different syntaxes for specifying
   1400 certificate files or formats. Several formats may be used:  PEM,
   1401 certificates embedded in PKCS#12 files, certificates embedded in
   1402 PKCS#11 devices, and raw DER encoded certificates.
   1403 
   1404 Those formats may be specified as follows:
   1405 
   1406 @table @asis
   1407 
   1408 @item DIR:
   1409 
   1410 DIR specifies a directory which contains certificates in the DER or
   1411 PEM format.
   1412 
   1413 The main feature of DIR is that the directory is read on demand when
   1414 iterating over certificates. This allows applications, in some
   1415 situations, to avoid having to store all certificates in memory.  It's
   1416 very useful for tests that iterate over large numbers of certificates.
   1417 
   1418 The syntax is:
   1419 
   1420 @example
   1421 DIR:/path/to/der/files
   1422 @end example
   1423 
   1424 @item FILE:
   1425 
   1426 FILE: specifies a file that contains a certificate or private key.
   1427 The file can be either a PEM (openssl) file or a raw DER encoded
   1428 certificate. If it's a PEM file, it can contain several keys and
   1429 certificates and the code will try to match the private key and
   1430 certificate together. Multiple files may be specified, separated by
   1431 commas.
   1432 
   1433 It's useful to have one PEM file that contains all the trust anchors.
   1434 
   1435 The syntax is:
   1436 
   1437 @example
   1438 FILE:certificate.pem,private-key.key,other-cert.pem,....
   1439 @end example
   1440 
   1441 @item PKCS11:
   1442 
   1443 PKCS11: is used to handle smartcards via PKCS#11 drivers, such as
   1444 soft-token, opensc, or muscle. The argument specifies a shared object
   1445 that implements the PKCS#11 API. The default is to use all slots on
   1446 the device/token.
   1447 
   1448 The syntax is:
   1449 
   1450 @example
   1451 PKCS11:shared-object.so
   1452 @end example
   1453 
   1454 @item PKCS12:
   1455 
   1456 PKCS12: is used to handle PKCS#12 files. PKCS#12 files commonly have
   1457 the extension pfx or p12.
   1458 
   1459 The syntax is:
   1460 
   1461 @example
   1462 PKCS12:/path/to/file.pfx
   1463 @end example
   1464 
   1465 @end table
   1466 
   1467 @section Configure the Kerberos software
   1468 
   1469 First configure the client's trust anchors and what parameters to
   1470 verify. See the subsections below for how to do that. Then, you can
   1471 use kinit to get yourself tickets. For example:
   1472 
   1473 @example
   1474 $ kinit -C FILE:$HOME/.certs/lha.crt,$HOME/.certs/lha.key lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG
   1475 Enter your private key passphrase:
   1476 : lha@@nutcracker ; klist
   1477 Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_19100a
   1478         Principal: lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG

   1482 @end example
   1483 
   1484 Using PKCS#11 it can look like this instead:
   1485 
   1486 @example
   1487 $ kinit -C PKCS11:/usr/heimdal/lib/hx509.so lha@@EXAMPLE.ORG

   1586 @section Use hxtool to create certificates
   1587 
   1588 @subsection Generate certificates
   1589 
   1590 First, you need to generate a CA certificate. This example creates a
   1591 CA certificate that will be valid for 10 years.
   1592 
   1593 You need to change --subject in the command below to something
   1594 appropriate for your site.
   1595 
   1596 @example
   1597 hxtool issue-certificate \
   1598     --self-signed \
   1599     --issue-ca \
   1600     --generate-key=rsa \
   1601     --subject="CN=CA,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
   1602     --lifetime=10years \
   1603     --certificate="FILE:ca.pem"
   1604 @end example
   1605 
   1606 The KDC needs to have a certificate, so generate a certificate of the
   1607 type ``pkinit-kdc'' and set the PK-INIT specifial SubjectAltName to the
   1608 name of the krbtgt of the realm.
   1609 
   1610 You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
   1611 below to something appropriate for your site.
   1612 
   1613 @example
   1614 hxtool issue-certificate \
   1615     --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
   1616     --generate-key=rsa \
   1617     --type="pkinit-kdc" \
   1618     --pk-init-principal="krbtgt/TEST.H5L.SE@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
   1619     --subject="uid=kdc,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
   1620     --certificate="FILE:kdc.pem"
   1621 @end example
   1622 
   1623 The users also needs to have certificates. For your first client,
   1624 generate a certificate of type ``pkinit-client''. The client doesn't
   1625 need to have the PK-INIT SubjectAltName set; you can have the Subject
   1626 DN in the ACL file (pki-mapping) instead.
   1627 
   1628 You need to change --subject and --pk-init-principal in the command
   1629 below to something appropriate for your site. You can omit
   1630 --pk-init-principal if you're going to use the ACL file instead.
   1631 
   1632 @example
   1633 hxtool issue-certificate \
   1634     --ca-certificate=FILE:ca.pem \
   1635     --generate-key=rsa \
   1636     --type="pkinit-client" \
   1637     --pk-init-principal="lha@@TEST.H5L.SE" \
   1638     --subject="uid=lha,DC=test,DC=h5l,DC=se" \
   1639     --certificate="FILE:user.pem"
   1640 @end example
   1641 
   1642 @subsection Validate the certificate
   1643 
   1644 hxtool also contains a tool that will validate certificates according
   1645 to rules from the PKIX document. These checks are not complete, but
   1646 they provide a good test of whether you got all of the basic bits
   1647 right in your certificates.
   1648 
   1649 @example
   1650 hxtool validate FILE:user.pem

   1653 @section Use OpenSSL to create certificates
   1654 @anchor{Use OpenSSL to create certificates}
   1655 
   1656 This section tries to give the CA owners hints how to create
   1657 certificates using OpenSSL (or CA software based on OpenSSL).
   1658 
   1659 @subsection Using OpenSSL to create certificates with krb5PrincipalName
   1660 
   1661 To make OpenSSL create certificates with krb5PrincipalName, use an
   1662 @file{openssl.cnf} as described below. To see a complete example of
   1663 creating client and KDC certificates, see the test-data generation
   1664 script @file{lib/hx509/data/gen-req.sh} in the source-tree. The
   1665 certicates it creates are used to test the PK-INIT functionality in
   1666 @file{tests/kdc/check-kdc.in}.
   1667 
   1668 To use this example you have to use OpenSSL 0.9.8a or later.
   1669 
   1670 @example
   1671 
   1672 [user_certificate]
   1673 subjectAltName=otherName:1.3.6.1.5.2.2;SEQUENCE:princ_name

   1713 
   1714 Clients using a Windows KDC with PK-INIT need configuration since
   1715 windows uses pre-standard format and this can't be autodetected.
   1716 
   1717 The pkinit_win2k_require_binding option requires the reply for the KDC
   1718 to be of the new, secure, type that binds the request to
   1719 reply. Before, clients could fake the reply from the KDC. To use this
   1720 option you have to apply a fix from Microsoft.
