NAME

       ipa-getkeytab - Get a keytab for a Kerberos principal

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-getkeytab  -p principal-name -k keytab-file [ -e encryption-types ] [ -s ipaserver ] [
       -q ] [ -D|--binddn BINDDN ] [ -w|--bindpw ] [ -W ] [ -P|--password PASSWORD ]  [  --cacert
       CACERT ] [ -H|--ldapuri URI ] [ -Y|--mech GSSAPI|EXTERNAL ] [ -r ]

DESCRIPTION

       Retrieves a Kerberos keytab.

       Kerberos  keytabs  are used for services (like sshd) to perform Kerberos authentication. A
       keytab is a file with one or more secrets (or keys) for a Kerberos principal.

       A Kerberos service principal is a Kerberos identity that can be used  for  authentication.
       Service  principals  contain  the name of the service, the hostname of the server, and the
       realm name. For example, the following is an example principal for an ldap server:

          ldap/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM

       When using ipa-getkeytab the realm name is already provided, so the principal name is just
       the service name and hostname (ldap/foo.example.com from the example above).

       ipa-getkeytab  is  used  during IPA client enrollment to retrieve a host service principal
       and store it in /etc/krb5.keytab. It is possible to retrieve the keytab  without  Kerberos
       credentials  if  the  host  was  pre-created  with  a one-time password. The keytab can be
       retrieved by binding as the host and  authenticating  with  this  one-time  password.  The
       -D|--binddn  -w|--bindpw  options are used for this authentication. -W can be used instead
       of -w|--bindpw to interactively prompt for the bind password.

       WARNING: retrieving the keytab resets the secret for the Kerberos principal.  This renders
       all  other  keytabs  for  that principal invalid.  When multiple hosts or services need to
       share the same key (for instance in high availability or load balancing clusters), the  -r
       option  must  be used to retrieve the existing key instead of generating a new one (please
       refer to the EXAMPLES section).

       Note that the user or host calling ipa-getkeytab needs to be allowed to generate  the  key
       with ipa host-allow-create-keytab or ipa service-allow-create-keytab, and the user or host
       calling ipa-getkeytab -r needs to be allowed to  retrieve  the  keytab  for  the  host  or
       service with ipa host-allow-retrieve-keytab or ipa service-allow-retrieve-keytab.

OPTIONS

       -p principal-name
              The non-realm part of the full principal name.

       -k keytab-file
              The keytab file where to append the new key (will be created if it does not exist).

       -e encryption-types
              The list of encryption types to use to generate keys.  ipa-getkeytab will use local
              client defaults if not provided.  Valid  values  depend  on  the  Kerberos  library
              version  and  configuration.   Common values are: aes256-cts aes128-cts aes256-sha2
              aes128-sha2 camellia256-cts-cmac camellia128-cts-cmac arcfour-hmac

       -s ipaserver
              The IPA server to retrieve the keytab from (FQDN). If this option is  not  provided
              the  server  name  is read from the IPA configuration file (/etc/ipa/default.conf).
              Cannot be used together with -H. If the value is _srv_ then DNS discovery  will  be
              used  to  determine  a  server.   If this discovery fails then it will fall back to
              using the configuration file.

       -q     Quiet mode. Only errors are displayed.

       --permitted-enctypes
              This options returns a description of the permitted encryption  types,  like  this:
              Supported  encryption  types:  AES-256  CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC AES-128 CTS
              mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC AES-128 CTS mode with 128-bit SHA-256 HMAC AES-256  CTS
              mode with 192-bit SHA-384 HMAC ArcFour with HMAC/md5

       -P, --password
              Use  this password for the key instead of one randomly generated. The length of the
              password is limited  by  1024  characters.  Note  that  MIT  Kerberos  also  limits
              passwords entered through kpasswd and kadmin commands to the same length.

       -D, --binddn
              The  LDAP  DN  to  bind  as  when retrieving a keytab without Kerberos credentials.
              Generally used with the -w or -W options.

       -w, --bindpw
              The LDAP password to use when not binding with Kerberos. -D and -w can not be  used
              together with -Y.

       -W     Interactive  prompt  for the bind password. -D and -W can not be used together with
              -Y

       --cacert
              The path to the IPA CA certificate used  to  validate  LDAPS/STARTTLS  connections.
              Defaults to /etc/ipa/ca.crt

       -H, --ldapuri
              LDAP  URI.  If  ldap://  is specified, STARTTLS is initiated by default. Can not be
              used with -s.

       -Y, --mech
              SASL mechanism to use if -D  and  -w  are  not  specified.  Use  either  GSSAPI  or
              EXTERNAL.

       -r     Retrieve mode. Retrieve an existing key from the server instead of generating a new
              one. This is incompatible with the --password option, and will work only against  a
              IPA  server  more recent than version 3.3. The user requesting the keytab must have
              access to the keys for this operation to succeed.

EXAMPLES

       Add and retrieve a keytab for the NFS service principal on the  host  foo.example.com  and
       save it in the file /tmp/nfs.keytab and retrieve just the aes256-sha2 key.

          # ipa-getkeytab -p nfs/foo.example.com -k /tmp/nfs.keytab -e aes-sha2

       Add  and  retrieve a keytab for the ldap service principal on the host foo.example.com and
       save it in the file /tmp/ldap.keytab.

          # ipa-getkeytab -s ipaserver.example.com -p ldap/foo.example.com -k /tmp/ldap.keytab

       Retrieve a keytab using LDAP credentials (this will typically be done by ipa-join(1)  when
       enrolling a client using the ipa-client-install(1) command:

          # ipa-getkeytab -s ipaserver.example.com -p host/foo.example.com -k /etc/krb5.keytab -D fqdn=foo.example.com,cn=computers,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com -w password

       Add and retrieve a keytab for a clustered HTTP service deployed on client1.example.com and
       client2.example.com (already enrolled), using the client-frontend.example.com host name:

          # ipa host-add client-frontend.example.com --ip-address 10.1.2.3
          # ipa service-add HTTP/client-frontend.example.com
          # ipa service-allow-retrieve-keytab HTTP/client-frontend.example.com --hosts={client1.example.com,client2.example.com}
          # ipa server-allow-create-keytab HTTP/client-frontend.example.com --hosts=client1.example.com

          On client1, generate and retrieve a new keytab for client-frontend.example.com:
          # kinit -k
          # ipa-getkeytab -p HTTP/client-frontend.example.com -k /tmp/http.keytab

          On client2, retrieve the existing keytab for client-frontend.example.com:
          # kinit -k
          # ipa-getkeytab -r -p HTTP/client-frontend.example.com -k /tmp/http.keytab
