KDC.CONF(5) MIT Kerberos KDC.CONF(5)NAMEkdc.conf - Kerberos V5 KDC configuration file
The kdc.conf file supplements krb5.conf(5) for programs which are typi‐
cally 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,
/var/lib/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 configura‐
tion changes to take effect.
STRUCTURE
The kdc.conf file is set up in the same format as the krb5.conf(5)
file.

[kdcdefaults]
With one exception, relations in the [kdcdefaults] section specify
default values for realm variables, to be used if the [realms] subsec‐
tion does not contain a relation for the tag. See the [realms] section
for the definitions of these relations.
· host_based_services
· kdc_ports
· kdc_tcp_ports
· no_host_referral
· restrict_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 parame‐
ters 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 kad‐
mind(8) uses to determine which principals are allowed which
permissions on the Kerberos database. The default value is
/var/lib/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 /var/lib/krb5kdc/princi‐
pal.
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 dis‐
abled. 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 ses‐
sion key for another user, permitting user-to-user
authentication for this principal.
forwardable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain for‐
wardable tickets.
hwauth If this flag is enabled, then the principal is required
to preauthenticate using a hardware device before receiv‐
ing 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 creden‐
tials 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 post‐
dateable 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 prin‐
cipal without going through the normal password authenti‐
cation in order to be able to change the password.
renewable
Enabling this flag allows the principal to obtain renew‐
able 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 prin‐
cipal is not marked as host-based by the client.
iprop_enable
(Boolean value.) Specifies whether incremental database propa‐
gation 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 incre‐
mental 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 data‐
base_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) dae‐
mon 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
/var/lib/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 spec‐
ified, the compiled-in default is not to listen for TCP connec‐
tions 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 dis‐
able referral processing altogether.
des_crc_session_supported
(Boolean value). If set to true, the KDC will assume that ser‐
vice 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 com‐
binations 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 arc‐
four-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_dn
· ldap_kdc_dn
· ldap_kadmind_dn
· ldap_service_password_file
· ldap_servers
· ldap_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 /var/lib/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 preauthen‐
tication. Setting this flag may improve performance. (Princi‐
pal 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 princi‐
pal 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 sup‐
ported 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 facili‐
ties 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 admin‐
istrative 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
/var/lib/krb5kdc/<name>.socket.
secret This tag indicates a filename (which may be relative to
/var/lib/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 config‐
uration 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 Specify‐
ing 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 cer‐
tificates must have the id-pkinit-KPClientAuth EKU as
defined in RFC 4556.
scLogin
If scLogin is specified, client certificates with the Mi‐
crosoft 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 suc‐
ceeds.
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. Encryp‐
tion 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 fami‐
lies 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 opera‐
tions, they are not supported by very old versions of our GSSAPI imple‐
mentation (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 sep‐
arated 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 pass‐
word-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 fol‐
lows:
┌──────────┬────────────────────────────┐
