3.4. Configuring a Kerberos 5 Client


All that is required to set up a Kerberos 5 client is to install the client packages and provide each client with a valid krb5.conf configuration file. While ssh and slogin are the preferred methods of remotely logging in to client systems, Kerberized versions of rsh and rlogin are still available, with additional configuration changes.
  1. Be sure that time synchronization is in place between the Kerberos client and the KDC and that DNS is working properly on the Kerberos client.
  2. Install the krb5-libs and krb5-workstation packages on all of the client machines.
  3. Supply a valid /etc/krb5.conf file for each client (usually this can be the same krb5.conf file used by the KDC).
  4. To use kerberized rsh and rlogin services, install the rsh package.
  5. Before a workstation can use Kerberos to authenticate users who connect using ssh, rsh, or rlogin, it must have its own host principal in the Kerberos database. The sshd, kshd, and klogind server programs all need access to the keys for the host service's principal.
    1. Using kadmin, add a host principal for the workstation on the KDC. The instance in this case is the hostname of the workstation. Use the -randkey option for the kadmin's addprinc command to create the principal and assign it a random key:
      addprinc -randkey host/server.example.com
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. The keys can be extracted for the workstation by running kadmin on the workstation itself and using the ktadd command.
      ktadd -k /etc/krb5.keytab host/server.example.com
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. To use other kerberized network services, install the krb5-server package and start the services. The kerberized services are listed in Table 3.3, “Common Kerberized Services”.

Service Name Usage Information
ssh OpenSSH uses GSS-API to authenticate users to servers if the client's and server's configuration both have GSSAPIAuthentication enabled. If the client also has GSSAPIDelegateCredentials enabled, the user's credentials are made available on the remote system.
rsh and rlogin Enable klogin, eklogin, and kshell.
Telnet Enable krb5-telnet.
FTP Create and extract a key for the principal with a root of ftp. Be certain to set the instance to the fully qualified hostname of the FTP server, then enable gssftp.
IMAP
The cyrus-imap package uses Kerberos 5 if it also has the cyrus-sasl-gssapi package installed. The cyrus-sasl-gssapi package contains the Cyrus SASL plugins which support GSS-API authentication. Cyrus IMAP functions properly with Kerberos as long as the cyrus user is able to find the proper key in /etc/krb5.keytab, and the root for the principal is set to imap (created with kadmin).
An alternative to cyrus-imap can be found in the dovecot package, which is also included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This package contains an IMAP server but does not, to date, support GSS-API and Kerberos.
CVS gserver uses a principal with a root of cvs and is otherwise identical to the CVS pserver.
