I have a client configured in a realm but for some testing purposes I wanted to install a local KDC.
The problem is that when krb5kdc starts it appears it wants to pull some information from the krb5.conf file. At the very least, it is trying to find the default realm there, as it gives error on starting using whatever realm name is listed in krb5.conf. >From a client perspective, if I want to switch to using a different krb5.conf file, I just use: export KRB5_CONFIG=/etc/alternate-krb5.conf But the server will always try to use /etc/krb5.conf I found one way around this on my centos system by editing the /etc/sysconfig/krb5kdc with: KRB5REALM=REALM.I.WANT.KDC.TO.USE Some searching I did indicated the possible existence of a "profile" directive in kdc5.conf to point to a different krb5.conf, but that didn't seem to work. Is what I did enough, or is there other info in the krb5.conf file that the kdc needs to run? Is there a way to point it to an alternate config? thanks ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
