NAME

       kdc.conf - Kerberos V5 KDC configuration file

       The kdc.conf file supplements krb5.conf(5) for programs which are typically only used on a
       KDC, such  as  the  krb5kdc(8)  and  kadmind(8)  daemons  and  the  kdb5_util(8)  program.
       Relations  documented  here  may  also  be  specified  in  krb5.conf; for the KDC programs
       mentioned, krb5.conf and kdc.conf will be merged into a single configuration profile.

       Normally, the kdc.conf file is found in the KDC state directory,  /etc/krb5kdc.   You  can
       override the default location by setting the environment variable KRB5_KDC_PROFILE.

       Please  note that you need to restart the KDC daemon for any configuration changes to take
       effect.

STRUCTURE

       The kdc.conf file is set up in the same format as the krb5.conf(5) file.

SECTIONS

       The kdc.conf file may contain the following sections:

                           ┌──────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐

   [kdcdefaults]
       With one exception, relations in the [kdcdefaults]  section  specify  default  values  for
       realm variables, to be used if the [realms] subsection does not contain a relation for the
       tag.  See the [realms] section for the definitions of these relations.

       • host_based_serviceskdc_portskdc_tcp_portsno_host_referralrestrict_anonymous_to_tgt

       kdc_max_dgram_reply_size
              Specifies the maximum packet size that can be sent over UDP.  The default value  is
              4096 bytes.

   [realms]
       Each tag in the [realms] section is the name of a Kerberos realm.  The value of the tag is
       a subsection where the relations define KDC parameters for  that  particular  realm.   The
       following example shows how to define one parameter for the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm:

       [realms]
           ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
               max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s
           }

       The following tags may be specified in a [realms] subsection:

       acl_file
              (String.)   Location  of  the  access  control  list  file  that kadmind(8) uses to
              determine which principals are allowed which permissions on the Kerberos  database.
              The  default value is /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl.  For more information on Kerberos ACL
              file see kadm5.acl(5).

       database_module
              (String.)  This relation indicates the name  of  the  configuration  section  under
              [dbmodules] for database-specific parameters used by the loadable database library.
              The default value is the realm name.  If this configuration section does not exist,
              default values will be used for all database parameters.

       database_name
              (String,  deprecated.)   This  relation  specifies  the  location  of  the Kerberos
              database for this realm, if the DB2  module  is  being  used  and  the  [dbmodules]
              configuration  section  does  not  specify  a  database name.  The default value is
              /etc/krb5kdc/principal.

       default_principal_expiration
              (abstime string.)  Specifies the default expiration date of principals  created  in
              this realm.  The default value is 0, which means no expiration date.

       default_principal_flags
              (Flag  string.)   Specifies  the  default  attributes of principals created in this
              realm.  The format for this string is a comma-separated list  of  flags,  with  '+'
              before  each  flag  that  should be enabled and '-' before each flag that should be
              disabled.   The  postdateable,  forwardable,   tgt-based,   renewable,   proxiable,
              dup-skey, allow-tickets, and service flags default to enabled.

              There are a number of possible flags:

              allow-tickets
                     Enabling this flag means that the KDC will issue tickets for this principal.
                     Disabling this flag essentially deactivates the principal within this realm.

              dup-skey
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain a session key for  another
                     user, permitting user-to-user authentication for this principal.

              forwardable
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain forwardable tickets.

              hwauth If  this  flag is enabled, then the principal is required to preauthenticate
                     using a hardware device before receiving any tickets.

              no-auth-data-required
                     Enabling this flag prevents PAC or AD-SIGNEDPATH data from  being  added  to
                     service tickets for the principal.

              ok-as-delegate
                     If this flag is enabled, it hints the client that credentials can and should
                     be delegated when authenticating to the service.

              ok-to-auth-as-delegate
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to use S4USelf tickets.

              postdateable
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain postdateable tickets.

              preauth
                     If this flag is enabled on  a  client  principal,  then  that  principal  is
                     required  to  preauthenticate to the KDC before receiving any tickets.  On a
                     service principal, enabling this flag means that service  tickets  for  this
                     principal  will  only  be  issued  to  clients  with  a  TGT  that  has  the
                     preauthenticated bit set.

              proxiable
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain proxy tickets.

              pwchange
                     Enabling this flag forces a password change for this principal.

              pwservice
                     If this flag is enabled, it  marks  this  principal  as  a  password  change
                     service.   This  should  only  be  used  in special cases, for example, if a
                     user's password has expired, then the user  has  to  get  tickets  for  that
                     principal  without going through the normal password authentication in order
                     to be able to change the password.

              renewable
                     Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renewable tickets.

              service
                     Enabling this flag allows the the KDC to  issue  service  tickets  for  this
                     principal.

              tgt-based
                     Enabling  this  flag  allows  a  principal  to  obtain  tickets  based  on a
                     ticket-granting-ticket, rather than  repeating  the  authentication  process
                     that was used to obtain the TGT.

       dict_file
              (String.)   Location of the dictionary file containing strings that are not allowed
              as passwords.  The file should contain one string  per  line,  with  no  additional
              whitespace.   If  none  is  specified  or  if  there  is  no policy assigned to the
              principal, no dictionary checks of passwords will be performed.

       host_based_services
              (Whitespace- or comma-separated list.)  Lists services which  will  get  host-based
              referral processing even if the server principal is not marked as host-based by the
              client.

       iprop_enable
              (Boolean value.)  Specifies whether incremental database  propagation  is  enabled.
              The default value is false.

       iprop_master_ulogsize
              (Integer.)   Specifies  the  maximum  number  of  log  entries  to  be retained for
              incremental propagation.  The maximum value is 2500; the default value is 1000.

       iprop_slave_poll
              (Delta time string.)  Specifies how often the slave KDC polls for new updates  from
              the master.  The default value is 2m (that is, two minutes).

       iprop_port
              (Port  number.)   Specifies the port number to be used for incremental propagation.
              This is required in both master and slave configuration files.

       iprop_resync_timeout
              (Delta time string.)  Specifies the amount of time to wait for a  full  propagation
              to  complete.   This  is optional in configuration files, and is used by slave KDCs
              only.  The default value is 5 minutes (5m).  New in release 1.11.

       iprop_logfile
              (File name.)  Specifies where the update log file for the realm database is  to  be
              stored.   The  default is to use the database_name entry from the realms section of
              the krb5 config file, with .ulog appended.  (NOTE: If database_name isn't specified
              in the realms section, perhaps because the LDAP database back end is being used, or
              the file name is specified in the [dbmodules] section, then the hard-coded  default
              for  database_name  is used.  Determination of the iprop_logfile default value will
              not use values from the [dbmodules] section.)

       kadmind_port
              (Port number.)  Specifies the port on which the kadmind(8) daemon is to listen  for
              this realm.  The assigned port for kadmind is 749, which is used by default.

       key_stash_file
              (String.)   Specifies  the  location  where  the  master  key  has been stored (via
              kdb5_util stash).  The  default  is  /etc/krb5kdc/.k5.REALM,  where  REALM  is  the
              Kerberos realm.

       kdc_ports
              (Whitespace-  or  comma-separated  list.)   Lists  the  ports on which the Kerberos
              server should listen for UDP requests, as a comma-separated list of integers.   The
              default  value  is  88,750,  which  are  the  assigned  Kerberos  port and the port
              historically used by Kerberos V4.

       kdc_tcp_ports
              (Whitespace- or comma-separated list.)  Lists  the  ports  on  which  the  Kerberos
              server  should  listen  for TCP connections, as a comma-separated list of integers.
              If this relation is not specified, the compiled-in default is not to listen for TCP
              connections at all.

              If  you  wish  to  change  this  (note  that  the current implementation has little
              protection against denial-of-service attacks), the standard  port  number  assigned
              for Kerberos TCP traffic is port 88.

       master_key_name
              (String.)  Specifies the name of the principal associated with the master key.  The
              default is K/M.

       master_key_type
              (Key type string.)  Specifies the master key's key type.   The  default  value  for
              this is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96.  For a list of all possible values, see Encryption
              types.

       max_life
              (duration string.)  Specifies the maximum time period for which  a  ticket  may  be
              valid in this realm.  The default value is 24 hours.

       max_renewable_life
              (duration  string.)   Specifies the maximum time period during which a valid ticket
              may be renewed in this realm.  The default value is 0.

       no_host_referral
              (Whitespace- or comma-separated  list.)   Lists  services  to  block  from  getting
              host-based  referral  processing,  even if the client marks the server principal as
              host-based or the service is also listed in host_based_services.   no_host_referral
              = * will disable referral processing altogether.

       des_crc_session_supported
              (Boolean  value).   If  set  to  true,  the KDC will assume that service principals
              support  des-cbc-crc  for   session   key   enctype   negotiation   purposes.    If
              allow_weak_crypto  in  libdefaults  is  false, or if des-cbc-crc is not a permitted
              enctype, then this variable has no effect.  Defaults to true.  New in release 1.11.

       reject_bad_transit
              (Boolean value.)  If set to true, the KDC will check the list of  transited  realms
              for  cross-realm tickets against the transit path computed from the realm names and
              the capaths section of its krb5.conf(5) file; if the  path  in  the  ticket  to  be
              issued contains any realms not in the computed path, the ticket will not be issued,
              and an error will be returned to the client instead.   If  this  value  is  set  to
              false,  such  tickets  will  be  issued  anyways,  and  it  will  be left up to the
              application server to validate the realm transit path.

              If the disable-transited-check flag is set in the incoming request, this  check  is
              not  performed at all.  Having the reject_bad_transit option will cause such ticket
              requests to be rejected always.

              This transit path checking and config file  option  currently  apply  only  to  TGS
              requests.

              The default value is true.

       restrict_anonymous_to_tgt
              (Boolean  value.)   If  set  to  true,  the  KDC  will  reject ticket requests from
              anonymous principals to service principals other than the  realm's  ticket-granting
              service.   This  option allows anonymous PKINIT to be enabled for use as FAST armor
              tickets without allowing anonymous authentication to services.  The  default  value
              is false.  New in release 1.9.

       supported_enctypes
              (List  of  key:salt  strings.)   Specifies  the  default  key/salt  combinations of
              principals for this realm.  Any principals created through kadmin(1) will have keys
              of  these  types.  The default value for this tag is aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal
              aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal des3-cbc-sha1:normal  arcfour-hmac-md5:normal.   For
              lists of possible values, see Keysalt lists.

   [dbdefaults]
       The [dbdefaults] section specifies default values for some database parameters, to be used
       if the [dbmodules]  subsection  does  not  contain  a  relation  for  the  tag.   See  the
       [dbmodules] section for the definitions of these relations.

       • ldap_kerberos_container_dnldap_kdc_dnldap_kadmind_dnldap_service_password_fileldap_serversldap_conns_per_server

   [dbmodules]
       The  [dbmodules] section contains parameters used by the KDC database library and database
       modules.  Each tag in the [dbmodules] section is the name of a Kerberos realm or a section
       name specified by a realm's database_module parameter.  The following example shows how to
       define one database parameter for the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm:

       [dbmodules]
           ATHENA.MIT.EDU = {
               disable_last_success = true
           }

       The following tags may be specified in a [dbmodules] subsection:

       database_name
              This DB2-specific tag indicates the location of the  database  in  the  filesystem.
              The default is /etc/krb5kdc/principal.

       db_library
              This  tag  indicates the name of the loadable database module.  The value should be
              db2 for the DB2 module and kldap for the LDAP module.

       disable_last_success
              If set to true, suppresses KDC updates  to  the  "Last  successful  authentication"
              field  of  principal  entries  requiring  preauthentication.  Setting this flag may
              improve performance.  (Principal entries which  do  not  require  preauthentication
              never  update  the  "Last  successful authentication" field.).  First introduced in
              release 1.9.

       disable_lockout
              If set to true, suppresses KDC updates to  the  "Last  failed  authentication"  and
              "Failed password attempts" fields of principal entries requiring preauthentication.
              Setting this flag may improve  performance,  but  also  disables  account  lockout.
              First introduced in release 1.9.

       ldap_conns_per_server
              This  LDAP-specific  tag  indicates  the number of connections to be maintained per
              LDAP server.

       ldap_kadmind_dn
              This LDAP-specific tag indicates the default bind DN  for  the  kadmind(8)  daemon.
              kadmind  does a login to the directory as this object.  This object should have the
              rights to read and write the Kerberos data in the LDAP database.

       ldap_kdc_dn
              This LDAP-specific tag indicates the default bind DN  for  the  krb5kdc(8)  daemon.
              The  KDC does a login to the directory as this object.  This object should have the
              rights to read the Kerberos data in the LDAP database, and  to  write  data  unless
              disable_lockout and disable_last_success are true.

       ldap_kerberos_container_dn
              This  LDAP-specific  tag  indicates  the DN of the container object where the realm
              objects will be located.

       ldap_servers
              This LDAP-specific tag indicates the list of LDAP servers that the Kerberos servers
              can connect to.  The list of LDAP servers is whitespace-separated.  The LDAP server
              is specified by a LDAP URI.  It is recommended to use  ldapi:  or  ldaps:  URLs  to
              connect to the LDAP server.

       ldap_service_password_file
              This LDAP-specific tag indicates the file containing the stashed passwords (created
              by kdb5_ldap_util stashsrvpw) for  the  ldap_kadmind_dn  and  ldap_kdc_dn  objects.
              This file must be kept secure.

       The  following  tag  may be specified directly in the [dbmodules] section to control where
       database modules are loaded from:

       db_module_dir
              This tag controls where the plugin system looks for database  modules.   The  value
              should be an absolute path.

   [logging]
       The  [logging]  section indicates how krb5kdc(8) and kadmind(8) perform logging.  The keys
       in this section are daemon names, which may be one of:

       admin_server
              Specifies how kadmind(8) performs logging.

       kdc    Specifies how krb5kdc(8) performs logging.

       default
              Specifies how either daemon performs logging in the absence of  relations  specific
              to the daemon.

       Values are of the following forms:

       FILE=filename or FILE:filename
              This  value  causes  the daemon's logging messages to go to the filename.  If the =
              form is used, the file is overwritten.  If the : form is used, the file is appended
              to.

       STDERR This value causes the daemon's logging messages to go to its standard error stream.

       CONSOLE
              This value causes the daemon's logging messages to go to the console, if the system
              supports it.

       DEVICE=<devicename>
              This causes the daemon's logging messages to go to the specified device.

       SYSLOG[:severity[:facility]]
              This causes the daemon's logging messages to go to the system log.

              The severity argument specifies the default severity of system log messages.   This
              may  be  any of the following severities supported by the syslog(3) call, minus the
              LOG_ prefix: EMERG, ALERT, CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, and DEBUG.

              The facility argument specifies the facility under which the messages  are  logged.
              This  may  be any of the following facilities supported by the syslog(3) call minus
              the LOG_ prefix: KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH, LPR, NEWS, UUCP, CRON, and  LOCAL0
              through LOCAL7.

              If  no severity is specified, the default is ERR.  If no facility is specified, the
              default is AUTH.

       In the following example, the logging messages from the KDC will go to the console and  to
       the  system  log  under the facility LOG_DAEMON with default severity of LOG_INFO; and the
       logging  messages  from  the  administrative  server  will  be  appended   to   the   file
       /var/adm/kadmin.log and sent to the device /dev/tty04.

          [logging]
              kdc = CONSOLE
              kdc = SYSLOG:INFO:DAEMON
              admin_server = FILE:/var/adm/kadmin.log
              admin_server = DEVICE=/dev/tty04

   [otp]
       Each subsection of [otp] is the name of an OTP token type.  The tags within the subsection
       define the configuration required to forward a One  Time  Password  request  to  a  RADIUS
       server.

       For each token type, the following tags may be specified:

       server This  is  the  server  to  send  the  RADIUS request to.  It can be a hostname with
              optional port, an ip address with optional port, or a Unix domain  socket  address.
              The default is /etc/krb5kdc/<name>.socket.

       secret This  tag  indicates  a filename (which may be relative to /etc/krb5kdc) containing
              the secret used to encrypt the RADIUS packets.  The secret  should  appear  in  the
              first  line of the file by itself; leading and trailing whitespace on the line will
              be removed.  If the value of server is a Unix domain socket address,  this  tag  is
              optional, and an empty secret will be used if it is not specified.  Otherwise, this
              tag is required.

       timeout
              An integer which specifies the time in seconds during which the KDC should  attempt
              to  contact  the  RADIUS server.  This tag is the total time across all retries and
              should be less than the time which an OTP value remains valid for.  The default  is
              5 seconds.

       retries
              This tag specifies the number of retries to make to the RADIUS server.  The default
              is 3 retries (4 tries).

       strip_realm
              If this tag is true, the principal without the realm will be passed to  the  RADIUS
              server.  Otherwise, the realm will be included.  The default value is true.

       In the following example, requests are sent to a remote server via UDP.

          [otp]
              MyRemoteTokenType = {
                  server = radius.mydomain.com:1812
                  secret = SEmfiajf42$
                  timeout = 15
                  retries = 5
                  strip_realm = true
              }

       An  implicit  default  token  type  named  DEFAULT  is  defined for when the per-principal
       configuration does not specify a token type.  Its configuration is shown below.   You  may
       override this token type to something applicable for your situation.

          [otp]
              DEFAULT = {
                  strip_realm = false
              }

PKINIT OPTIONS

       Note   The  following  are  pkinit-specific  options.   These  values  may be specified in
              [kdcdefaults]  as  global  defaults,  or  within  a  realm-specific  subsection  of
              [realms].   Also  note  that  a realm-specific value over-rides, does not add to, a
              generic [kdcdefaults] specification.  The search order is:

       1. realm-specific subsection of [realms],

             [realms]
                 EXAMPLE.COM = {
                     pkinit_anchors = FILE:/usr/local/example.com.crt
                 }

       2. generic value in the [kdcdefaults] section.

             [kdcdefaults]
                 pkinit_anchors = DIR:/usr/local/generic_trusted_cas/

       For information about the syntax of some of these options, see Specifying PKINIT  identity
       information in krb5.conf(5).

       pkinit_anchors
              Specifies  the  location of trusted anchor (root) certificates which the KDC trusts
              to sign client certificates.  This option is required if pkinit is to be  supported
              by the KDC.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       pkinit_dh_min_bits
              Specifies  the  minimum  number of bits the KDC is willing to accept for a client's
              Diffie-Hellman key.  The default is 2048.

       pkinit_allow_upn
              Specifies that the KDC is willing to accept client certificates with the  Microsoft
              UserPrincipalName (UPN) Subject Alternative Name (SAN).  This means the KDC accepts
              the binding of the UPN in the certificate to  the  Kerberos  principal  name.   The
              default value is false.

              Without  this  option, the KDC will only accept certificates with the id-pkinit-san
              as defined in RFC 4556.  There is currently no option to disable  SAN  checking  in
              the KDC.

       pkinit_eku_checking
              This  option  specifies  what Extended Key Usage (EKU) values the KDC is willing to
              accept in client certificates.  The values recognized in the kdc.conf file are:

              kpClientAuth
                     This is the default value and specifies that client certificates  must  have
                     the id-pkinit-KPClientAuth EKU as defined in RFC 4556.

              scLogin
                     If  scLogin  is specified, client certificates with the Microsoft Smart Card
                     Login EKU (id-ms-kp-sc-logon) will be accepted.

              none   If none is specified, then client certificates will not be checked to verify
                     they have an acceptable EKU.  The use of this option is not recommended.

       pkinit_identity
              Specifies  the  location  of  the KDC's X.509 identity information.  This option is
              required if pkinit is to be supported by the KDC.

       pkinit_kdc_ocsp
              Specifies the location of the KDC's OCSP.

       pkinit_mapping_file
              Specifies the name of the ACL pkinit mapping file.  This file  maps  principals  to
              the certificates that they can use.

       pkinit_pool
              Specifies the location of intermediate certificates which may be used by the KDC to
              complete the trust chain between a client's certificate and a trusted anchor.  This
              option may be specified multiple times.

       pkinit_revoke
              Specifies  the location of Certificate Revocation List (CRL) information to be used
              by the KDC when verifying the validity of client certificates.  This option may  be
              specified multiple times.

       pkinit_require_crl_checking
              The  default  certificate  verification  process  will  always  check the available
              revocation information to see if a certificate has been revoked.   If  a  match  is
              found  for  the certificate in a CRL, verification fails.  If the certificate being
              verified is not listed in a CRL, or there is no CRL present for its issuing CA, and
              pkinit_require_crl_checking is false, then verification succeeds.

              However,  if  pkinit_require_crl_checking  is  true and there is no CRL information
              available for the issuing CA, then verification fails.

              pkinit_require_crl_checking should be set to  true  if  the  policy  is  such  that
              up-to-date CRLs must be present for every CA.

ENCRYPTION TYPES

       Any tag in the configuration files which requires a list of encryption types can be set to
       some combination of  the  following  strings.   Encryption  types  marked  as  "weak"  are
       available for compatibility but not recommended for use.

       The  string  DEFAULT  can be used to refer to the default set of types for the variable in
       question.  Types or families can be removed from the current list by prefixing them with a
       minus  sign ("-").  Types or families can be prefixed with a plus sign ("+") for symmetry;
       it has the same meaning as just listing the type or family.  For example,  "DEFAULT  -des"
       would  be  the  default set of encryption types with DES types removed, and "des3 DEFAULT"
       would be the default set of encryption types with triple DES types moved to the front.

       While aes128-cts and aes256-cts are supported for all Kerberos operations,  they  are  not
       supported  by  very  old  versions  of our GSSAPI implementation (krb5-1.3.1 and earlier).
       Services running versions of krb5 without AES support must not be given AES  keys  in  the
       KDC database.

KEYSALT LISTS

       Kerberos  keys  for  users  are  usually  derived  from  passwords.  Kerberos commands and
       configuration parameters that affect generation of keys  take  lists  of  enctype-salttype
       ("keysalt")  pairs, known as keysalt lists.  Each keysalt pair is an enctype name followed
       by a salttype name, in the format enc:salt.  Individual keysalt list members are separated
       by comma (",") characters or space characters.  For example:

          kadmin -e aes256-cts:normal,aes128-cts:normal

       would  start  up kadmin so that by default it would generate password-derived keys for the
       aes256-cts and aes128-cts encryption types, using a normal salt.

       To ensure that people who happen to pick the same password  do  not  have  the  same  key,
       Kerberos  5 incorporates more information into the key using something called a salt.  The
       supported salt types are as follows:
