Introduction to MIT Krb5

MIT krb5 is a free implementation of Kerberos 5. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It centralizes the authentication database and uses kerberized applications to work with servers or services that support Kerberos allowing single logins and encrypted communication over internal networks or the Internet.

Dependencies

Optional

• xinetd (services servers only)
• Linux-PAM (for xdm based logins)
• OpenLDAP (alternative for krb5kdc password database)

Note:
A time synchronization facility of some sort (like NTP) is needed on your system
if you're going to be using Kerberos. Kerberos won't authenticate if the time
differential between a kerberized client and the KDC server is more than 5 minutes.
And since you'll probably want Kerberos to be able to authenticate, you'll want
to synchronize the time between teh client and the server.

Non-Multilib

Build the packge:

cd src
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib
   --enable-dns --enable-static --mandir=/usr/share/man
make

Install the package:

make install
mv -v /usr/lib/libdes425.so.3* /lib
mv -v /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3* /lib
mv -v /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3* /lib
mv -v /usr/lib/libkrb4.so.2* /lib
mv -v /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3* /lib
mv -v /usr/bin/ksu /bin
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libkrb4.so.2 /usr/lib/libkrb4.so
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libkrb5.so.3 /usr/lib/libkrb5.so
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libk5crypto.so.3 /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libcom_err.so.3 /usr/lib/libcom_err.so
ln -v -sf ../../lib/libdes425.so.3 /usr/lib/libdes425.so
ldconfig

Warning:
login.krb5 does not support shadow passwords. So, when the Kerberos
server is unavailable, the default use of /etc/password will not work
because the passwords are now in /etc/shadow (where they were put while
building CLFS). Entering the following commands without moving the passwords back
to /etc/password could prevent any logins.

If you understand the above warning and Linux-PAM is not installed, the following commands can be used:

mv -v /bin/login /bin/login.shadow &&
cp -v /usr/sbin/login.krb5 /bin/login

If CrackLib is installed, or if any word list has been put in /usr/share/dict, the following commands should be used:

ln -s /usr/share/dict/words /var/lib/krb5kdc/kadmin.dict

Command Explanations

--enable-dns: This switch allows realms to be resolved using the DNS server.

--enable-static: This switch builds static libraries in addition to the shared libraries.

mv -v /bin/login /bin/login.shadow && cp -v /usr/sbin/login.krb5 /bin/login && mv -v /usr/bin/ksu /bin: Preserves Shadow's login command, moves ksu and login by moving them to the /bin directory.

mv -v ... /lib and ln -v -sf ...: The login and ksu programs are linked against these libraries, so these libraries are moved to /lib in order to allow logins without mounting /usr.

kadmin	is an utility used to make modifications to the Kerberos database.
kadmind	is a server for administrative access to a Kerberos database.
kdb5_util	is the KDC database utility.
kdestroy	removes the current set of tickets.
kinit	is used to authenticate to the Kerberos server as a principal and acquire a ticket granting ticket that can later be used to obtain tickets for other services.

krb5-config	gives information on how to link programs against libraries.
krb5kdc	is a Kerberos 5 server.
