NAME

       sssd_krb5_locator_plugin - Kerberos locator plugin

DESCRIPTION

       The Kerberos locator plugin sssd_krb5_locator_plugin is used by the Kerberos provider of
       sssd(8) to tell the Kerberos libraries what Realm and which KDC to use. Typically this is
       done in krb5.conf(5) which is always read by the Kerberos libraries. To simplify the
       configuration the Realm and the KDC can be defined in sssd.conf(5) as described in sssd-
       krb5(5)

       sssd(8) puts the Realm and the name or IP address of the KDC into the environment
       variables SSSD_KRB5_REALM and SSSD_KRB5_KDC respectively. When sssd_krb5_locator_plugin is
       called by the kerberos libraries it reads and evaluates these variables and returns them
       to the libraries.

NOTES

       Not all Kerberos implementations support the use of plugins. If sssd_krb5_locator_plugin
       is not available on your system you have to edit /etc/krb5.conf to reflect your Kerberos
       setup.

       If the environment variable SSSD_KRB5_LOCATOR_DEBUG is set to any value debug messages
       will be sent to stderr.

       If the environment variable SSSD_KRB5_LOCATOR_DISABLE is set to any value the plugin is
       disabled and will just return KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE to the caller.
