kdc.conf
The kdc.conf
file contains KDC configuration information,
including defaults used when issuing Kerberos tickets. Normally, you
should install your kdc.conf
file in the directory
/usr/local/var/krb5kdc
. You can override the default
location by setting the environment variable KRB5_KDC_PROFILE
.
The kdc.conf
file is set up in the same format as the
krb5.conf
file. (See krb5.conf.) The kdc.conf
file
may contain any or all of the following three sections:
- kdcdefaults
- Contains default values for overall behavior of the KDC.
- realms
- Contains subsections keyed by Kerberos realm names. Each subsection
describes realm-specific information, including where to find the
Kerberos servers for that realm.
- logging
- Contains relations which determine how Kerberos programs are to perform
logging.
