NAME

       pam_krb5_migrate - authentication PAM module for the KerberosV5 auto-migration of users feature

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/security/pam_krb5_migrate.so.1

DESCRIPTION

       The KerberosV5 auto-migrate service module for PAM provides functionality for the PAM authentication component. The service module helps in
       the automatic migration of PAM_USER to the client's local Kerberos realm, using PAM_AUTHTOK (the PAM authentication token  associated  with
       PAM_USER) as the new Kerberos principal's password.

   KerberosV5 Auto-migrate Authentication Module
       The  KerberosV5 auto-migrate authentication component provides the pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) function to migrate a user who does not have a
       corresponding krb5 principal account to the default Kerberos realm of the client.

       pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) uses a host-based client service principal, present in the local keytab (/etc/krb5/krb5.keytab)  to  authenticate
       to  kadmind(1M) (defaults to the host/nodename.fqdn service principal), for the principal creation operation. Also, for successful creation
       of the krb5 user principal account, the host-based client service principal being used needs to be assigned the	appropriate  privilege	on
       the  master  KDC's kadm5.acl(4) file. kadmind(1M) checks for the appropriate privilege and validates the user password using PAM by calling
       pam_authenticate(3PAM) and pam_acct_mgmt(3PAM) for the k5migrate service.

       If migration of the user to the KerberosV5 infrastructure is successful, the module will inform users about it by means of a  PAM_TEXT_INFO
       message, unless instructed otherwise by the presence of the quiet option.

       The  authentication  component  always returns PAM_IGNORE and is meant to be stacked in pam.conf with a requirement that it be listed below
       pam_authtok_get(5) in the authentication stack. Also, if pam_krb5_migrate is used in the authentication stack of a particular  service,	it
       is mandatory that pam_krb5(5) be listed in the PAM account stack of that service for proper operation (see EXAMPLES).

OPTIONS

       The following options can be passed to the KerberosV5 auto-migrate authentication module:

       debug

	   Provides syslog(3C) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

       client_service=<service name>

	   Name  of  the service used to authenticate to kadmind(1M) defaults to host. This means that the module uses host/<nodename.fqdn> as its
	   client service principal name, KerberosV5 user principal creation operation or <service>/<nodename.fqdn> if this option is provided.

       quiet

	   Do not explain KerberosV5 migration to the user.

	   This has the same effect as passing the PAM_SILENT flag to pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) and is useful  where  applications  cannot  handle
	   PAM_TEXT_INFO messages.

	   If  not  set,  the  authentication component will issue a PAM_TEXT_INFO message after creation of the Kerberos V5 principal, indicating
	   that it has done so.

       expire_pw

	   Causes the creation of KerberosV5 user principals with password expiration set to now (current time).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Sample Entries from pam.conf

       The following entries from pam.conf(4) demonstrate the use of the pam_krb5_migrate.so.1 module:

       login	   auth requisite	   pam_authtok_get.so.1
       login	   auth required	   pam_dhkeys.so.1
       login	   auth required	   pam_unix_cred.so.1
       login	   auth sufficient	   pam_krb5.so.1
       login	   auth requisite	   pam_unix_auth.so.1
       login	   auth optional	   pam_krb5_migrate.so.1 expire_pw
       login	   auth required	   pam_dial_auth.so.1

       other   account requisite       pam_roles.so.1
       other   account required        pam_krb5.so.1
       other   account required        pam_unix_account.so.1

       The pam_krb5_migrate module can generally be present on the authorization stack of any service where the application calls pam_sm_authenti-
       cate(3PAM)  and an authentication token (in the preceding example, the authentication token would be the user's Unix password) is available
       for use as a Kerberos V5 password.

       Example 2: Sample Entries from kadm5.acl

       The following entries from kadm5.acl(4) permit or deny privileges to the host client service principal:

       host/*@ACME.COM U root
       host/*@ACME.COM ui *

       The preceding entries permit the pam_krb5_migrate add privilege to the host client service principal of any machine in  the  ACME.COM  Ker-
       berosV5 realm, but denies the add privilege to all host service principals for addition of the root user account.

       Example 3: Sample Entries in pam.conf of the Master KDC

       The  entries  below  enable  kadmind(1M)  on  the  master KDC to use the k5migrate PAM service in order to validate Unix user passwords for
       accounts that require migration to the Kerberos realm.

       k5migrate	auth	required	pam_unix_auth.so.1
       k5migrate	account required	pam_unix_account.so.1
