@chapter Setting up a realm
|
|
|
|
A
|
|
@cindex realm
|
|
realm is an administrative domain. Kerberos realms usually consists of
|
|
an Internet domain name in uppercase. Call your realm the same as your
|
|
Internet domain name if you do not have strong reasons for not doing so.
|
|
It will make life easier for you and everyone else.
|
|
|
|
To setup a realm you will first have to create a configuration file:
|
|
@file{/etc/krb5.conf}. The @file{krb5.conf} file can contain many
|
|
configuration options, some which are described here.
|
|
|
|
There is a sample @file{krb5.conf} supplied with the distribution.
|
|
|
|
The configuration file is a hierarchical structure consisting of sections,
|
|
each containing a list of bindings (either variable assignments or
|
|
subsections). A section starts with @samp{[section-name]}. A binding
|
|
consists of a left hand side, an equal (@samp{=}) and a right hand
|
|
side. The left hand side tag must be separated from the equal with some
|
|
whitespace. Subsections has a @samp{@{} as the first non-whitespace
|
|
character after the equal. All other bindings are treated as variable
|
|
assignments. The value of a variable extends to the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
[section1]
|
|
a-subsection = @{
|
|
var = value1
|
|
other-var = value with @{@}
|
|
sub-sub-section = @{
|
|
var = 123
|
|
@}
|
|
@}
|
|
var = some other value
|
|
[section2]
|
|
var = yet another value
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To denote entries in the config file, the names of sections and bindings
|
|
will be given separated with slashes (@samp{/}). The @samp{other-var}
|
|
variable will thus be @samp{section1/a-subsection/other-var}.
|
|
|
|
For in-depth information about the contents of the config file, refer to
|
|
the @file{krb5.conf} manual page. Some of the more important sections
|
|
are briefly described here. The @samp{libdefaults} section contains a
|
|
list of library configuration parameters, such as the default realm and
|
|
the timeout for kdc responses. The @samp{realms} section contains
|
|
information about specific realms, such as where they hide their
|
|
KDC. This section serves the same purpose as the Kerberos 4
|
|
@file{krb.conf} file, but can contain more information. Finally the
|
|
@samp{domain_realm} section contains a list of mappings from domains to
|
|
realms, equivalent to the Kerberos 4 @file{krb.realms} file.
|
|
|
|
To continue with the realm setup, you will have to create a config file,
|
|
with contents similar to the following.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
[libdefaults]
|
|
default_realm = MY.REALM
|
|
[realms]
|
|
MY.REALM = @{
|
|
kdc = my.kdc
|
|
@}
|
|
[domain_realm]
|
|
.my.domain = MY.REALM
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
If you use a realm name equal to your domain name, you can omit the
|
|
@samp{libdefaults}, and @samp{domain_realm}, sections.
|
|
|
|
The database library will look for the database in @file{/var/heimdal},
|
|
so you should probably create that directory.
|
|
|
|
To initialise the database use the @code{kdb_edit} program. First issue
|
|
a @kbd{init MY.REALM} command. This will create the database and insert
|
|
default principals for that realm. You can have more than one realm in
|
|
one database, so @samp{init} does not destroy any old database.
|
|
|
|
Before creating the database, @samp{init} will ask you some questions
|
|
about default and max ticket lifetimes. The default values should be fine.
|
|
|
|
After creating the database you should probably add yourself. You do
|
|
this with the @samp{ank} command. It takes as argument the name of a
|
|
principal. The principal should contain a realm, so if you haven't setup
|
|
a default realm, you will need to explicitly include the realm.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# kdb_edit
|
|
kdb_edit> init MY.REALM
|
|
Realm max ticket life: [infinite]
|
|
Realm max renewable ticket life: [infinite]
|
|
Default ticket life: [1 day]
|
|
Default renewable ticket life: [7 days]
|
|
kdb_edit> ank me
|
|
Max ticket life [1 day]:
|
|
Max renewable ticket [7 days]:

@end example
|
|
|
|
Now start the KDC and try getting a ticket.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# kdc &
|
|
# kinit me
|
|
me@@MY.REALMS's Password:
|
|
# klist
|
|
Credentials cache: /tmp/krb5cc_3008
|
|
Principal: me@@MY.REALM
|
|
|
|
Issued Expires Principal
