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:
