Doubts regarding Keytab file

2017-05-09 Thread Abhishek Kaushik
Hello, I am trying to understand how Kerberos works and so came across this file called Keytab which, I believe, is used for authentication to the KDC server. Just like every user and service(say Hadoop) in a kerberos realm has a service principal, does every user and service have a keytab file?

keytab file contains the service principal name and the keys, i wasn't sure if it is possible to encode such a value. On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 12:46 AM, Benjamin Kaduk wrote: > On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 12:20:44AM +0530, Abhishek Kaushik wrote: > > Thank you for replying. > > >
