Okay, /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf had to be edited as below: ++++++++++++++++++/etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf+++++++++++++++++++++ [kdcdefaults] kdc_ports = 750,88
[realms] IQETD.LAN = { database_name = /var/lib/krb5kdc/principal admin_keytab = FILE:/etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab acl_file = /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl key_stash_file = /etc/krb5kdc/stash kdc_ports = 750,88 max_life = 10h 0m 0s max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s master_key_type = des3-hmac-sha1 supported_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-crc:normal des:norma$ default_principal_flags = +preauth } +++++++++++++++ end of /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf++++++++++++++ Also I had to run "krb5_newrealm" to initialise the KDC database. This give the following useful tips: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # krb5_newrealm This script should be run on the master KDC/admin server to initialize a Kerberos realm. It will ask you to type in a master key password. This password will be used to generate a key that is stored in /etc/krb5kdc/stash. You should try to remember this password, but it is much more important that it be a strong password than that it be remembered. However, if you lose the password and /etc/krb5kdc/stash, you cannot decrypt your Kerberos database. Loading random data Initializing database '/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal' for realm 'IQETD.LAN', master key name 'K/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' You will be prompted for the database Master Password. It is important that you NOT FORGET this password. Enter KDC database master key: Re-enter KDC database master key to verify: Now that your realm is set up you may wish to create an administrative principal using the addprinc subcommand of the kadmin.local program. Then, this principal can be added to /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl so that you can use the kadmin program on other computers. Kerberos admin principals usually belong to a single user and end in /admin. For example, if jruser is a Kerberos administrator, then in addition to the normal jruser principal, a jruser/admin principal should be created. Don't forget to set up DNS information so your clients can find your KDC and admin servers. Doing so is documented in the administration guide. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
