Configuration Files for the Kerberos Server
You must install all the critical Kerberos server files on the system before
you start configuring the Kerberos Server. You must configure these files
on the primary security server and copy these files to all the secondary
security servers on the network. Table 5-1 briefly describes the server
files that you need to configure.
This chapter contains detailed descriptions of the krb.conf and
krb.realms configuration files. If you have opted to configure LDAP as
the backend, see “Planning Your LDAP Configuration” on page 83.
