KRB.CONF(5)                                           KRB.CONF(5)


NAME
       krb.conf - Kerberos configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       krb.conf contains configuration information describing the
       Kerberos realm(s) and the Kerberos key distribution center
       (KDC) servers for known realms.

       krb.conf  starts  with  a definition of the local realm on
       the first line, this  is  followed  by  any  number  lines
       defining supplementary local realms.  The rest of the file
       consists of lines indicating realm/host entries. The first
       token is a realm name, and the second is a server specifi-
       cation of a host running a KDC for that realm.  The  words
       "admin  server"  following  the hostname indicate that the
       host also provides an administrative database server.

       To be able to communicate with the KDC through a  firewall
       it  is sometimes necessary to tunnel requests over HTTP or
       TCP. Tunnel protocols and port numbers  are  specified  in
       the     server     specification    using    the    syntax
       [(UDP|TCP|HTTP)/]hostname[:port].

       For example:
                 SICS.SE
                 NADA.KTH.SE
                 SICS.SE     TCP/kerberos.sics.se:88 admin server
                 NADA.KTH.SE kerberos.nada.kth.se    admin server
                 NADA.KTH.SE kerberos-1.nada.kth.se
                 NADA.KTH.SE kerberos-2.nada.kth.se
                 NADA.KTH.SE HTTP/kerberos-3.nada.kth.se
                 KTH.SE      kerberos.kth.se         admin server
