NAME

       krb5kdc - KDC daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/krb5/krb5kdc [-d dbpath] [-r realm] [-R replaycachename] [-m] [-k masterenctype] [-M masterkeyname] [-p port] [-n]

       krb5kdc	is  the  daemon that runs on the master and slave KDCs to process the Kerberos tickets. For Kerberos to function properly, krb5kdc
       must be running on at least one KDC that the Kerberos clients can access. Prior to running krb5kdc, you must initialize the Kerberos  data-
       base using kdb5_util(1M). See the  for information regarding how to set up KDCs and initialize the Kerberos database.

       The following options are supported:

       -d dbpath	       Specify the path to the database; default value is /var/krb5.

       -k masterenctype        Specify	the encryption type for encrypting the database. The default value is des-cbc-crc. des3-cbc-sha1, arcfour-
			       hmac-md5, arcfour-hmac-md5-exp, aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96, and aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 are also valid.

       -m		       Specify that the master key for the database is to be entered manually.

       -M masterkeyname        Specify the principal to retrieve the master Key for the database.

       -n		       Specify that krb5kdc should not detach from the terminal.

       -p port		       Specify the port that will be used by the KDC to listen for incoming requests.

       -r realm 	       Specify the realm name; default is the local realm name.

       -R replaycachename      Specify the replay cache name; default value is krb5kdc_rcache.

       /var/krb5/principal.db		       Kerberos principal database.

       /var/krb5/principal.kadm5	       Kerberos administrative database. This file contains policy information.

       /var/krb5/principal.kadm5.lock	       Kerberos administrative database lock file. This file works backwards from most	other  lock  files
					       (that is, kadmin will exit with an error if this file does not exist).

       /etc/krb5/kdc.conf		       KDC configuration file. This file is read at startup.

       /etc/krb5/kpropd.acl		       File that defines the access control list for propagating the Kerberos database using kprop.

NOTES

       The following signal has the specified effect when sent to the server process using the kill(1)command:

       SIGHUP		       krb5kdc closes and re-opens log files that it directly opens. This can be useful for external  log-rotation  utili-
			       ties such as logadm(1M). If this method is used for log file rotation, set the krb5.conf(4) kdc_rotate period rela-
			       tion to never.
