8.2. Options controlling KDC behavior per realm
To track locking and unlocking user accounts for each Kerberos realm, the KDC writes to its database after each successful and failed authentication. By adjusting the following options in the [dbmodules] section of the /etc/krb5.conf file, you may be able to improve performance by minimizing how often the KDC writes information.
- disable_last_success
If set to
true, this option suppresses KDC updates to theLast successful authenticationfield of principal entries requiring preauthentication.Expand Default value
falseValid range
trueorfalse- disable_lockout
If set to
true, this option suppresses KDC updates to theLast failed authenticationandFailed password attemptsfields of principal entries requiring preauthentication. Setting this flag may improve performance, but disabling account lockout may be considered a security risk.Expand Default value
