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 default value is 1000.  Prior to  release  1.11,  the
              maximum value was 2500.

       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.
              To  disable  listening  on  TCP,  set  this  relation  to  the  empty  string  with
              kdc_tcp_ports = "".  If this relation is not specified, the default is to listen on
              TCP  port  88  (the  standard port).  Prior to release 1.13, the default was not to
              listen for TCP connections at all.

       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.

   [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_kdc_dn and ldap_kadmind_dn
              These  LDAP-specific  tags  indicate the default DN for binding to the LDAP server.
              The krb5kdc(8) daemon uses ldap_kdc_dn,  while  the  kadmind(8)  daemon  and  other
              administrative  programs  use ldap_kadmind_dn.  The kadmind DN must have the rights
              to read and write the Kerberos data in the LDAP database.  The KDC DN must have the
              same  rights,  unless  disable_lockout  and disable_last_success are true, in which
              case it only needs to have rights to  read  the  Kerberos  data.   These  tags  are
              ignored    if    a    SASL    mechanism   is   set   with   ldap_kdc_sasl_mech   or
              ldap_kadmind_sasl_mech.

       ldap_kdc_sasl_mech and ldap_kadmind_sasl_mech
              These LDAP-specific tags specify the SASL mechanism (such as EXTERNAL) to use  when
              binding to the LDAP server.  New in release 1.13.

       ldap_kdc_sasl_authcid and ldap_kadmind_sasl_authcid
              These  LDAP-specific  tags  specify  the  SASL  authentication identity to use when
              binding to the LDAP server.  Not all  SASL  mechanisms  require  an  authentication
              identity.   If  the  SASL  mechanism  requires  a  secret (such as the password for
              DIGEST-MD5),    these    tags    also    determine    the    name    within     the
              ldap_service_password_file where the secret is stashed.  New in release 1.13.

       ldap_kdc_sasl_authzid and ldap_kadmind_sasl_authzid
              These  LDAP-specific  tags  specify  the  SASL  authorization  identity to use when
              binding to the LDAP  server.   In  most  circumstances  they  do  not  need  to  be
              specified.  New in release 1.13.

       ldap_kdc_sasl_realm and ldap_kadmind_sasl_realm
              These  LDAP-specific  tags  specify  the SASL realm to use when binding to the LDAP
              server.  In most circumstances they do not need to be set.  New in release 1.13.

       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_kdc_dn and ldap_kadmind_dn objects, or
              for  the  ldap_kdc_sasl_authcid  or  ldap_kadmind_sasl_authcid   names   for   SASL
              authentication.  This file must be kept secure.

       unlockiter
              If  set  to  true, this DB2-specific tag causes iteration operations to release the
              database lock while processing each principal.   Setting  this  flag  to  true  can
              prevent extended blocking of KDC or kadmin operations when dumps of large databases
              are in progress.  First introduced in release 1.13.

       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_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:
