Autoconfiguring the Kerberos Server
An automated tool named krbsetup is provided to autoconfigure your
Kerberos server. Use this tool to:
• Configure the Kerberos Server with either LDAP or C-Tree as the
backend database.
• Unconfigure the server.
• Start the kdcd and the kadmind daemons.
NOTE You must start the kpropd daemon manually if you have opted for
C-Tree as the backend database.
• Stop the kdcd, kadmind, and kpropd daemons.
The krbsetup tool is installed in the following directory:
/opt/krb5/sbin
This tool automatically creates the following files and places them in the
/opt/krb5 directory:
• krb.conf
• krb.realms
• krb5_ldap.conf
• krb5_schema.conf
• krb5_map.conf
This tool allows you to:
• Specify whether you want to configure your Kerberos server with
either LDAP or C-Tree as the backend database.
• Specify whether you want to configure your Kerberos server as either
a primary security server or a secondary security server.
• Customize your realm name.
• Provide an option to create a stash file.
