|

|

+Using a keytab to acquire client credentials
|
||||
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
+
|
||||
+While keytabs are ordinarily used to accept credentials from clients,
|
||||
+they can also be used to acquire initial credentials, allowing one
|
||||
+service to authenticate to another.
|
||||
+
|
||||
+To manually obtain credentials using a keytab, use the :ref:`kinit(1)`
|
||||
+**-k** option, together with the **-t** option if the keytab is not in
|
||||
+the default location.
|
||||
+
|
||||
+Beginning with release 1.11, GSSAPI applications can be configured to
|
||||
+automatically obtain initial credentials from a keytab as needed. The
|
||||
+recommended configuration is as follows:
|
||||
+
|
||||
+#. Create a keytab containing a single entry for the desired client
|
||||
+ identity.
|
||||
+
|
||||
+#. Place the keytab in a location readable by the service, and set the
|
||||
+ **KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME** environment variable to its filename.
|
||||
+ Alternatively, use the **default_client_keytab_name** profile
|
||||
+ variable in :ref:`libdefaults`, or use the default location of
|
||||
+ |ckeytab|.
|
||||
+
|
||||
+#. Set **KRB5CCNAME** to a filename writable by the service, which
|
||||
+ will not be used for any other purpose. Do not manually obtain
|
||||
+ credentials at this location. (Another credential cache type
|
||||
+ besides **FILE** can be used if desired, as long the cache will not
|
||||
+ conflict with another use. A **MEMORY** cache can be used if the
|
||||
+ service runs as a long-lived process. See :ref:`ccache_definition`
|
||||
+ for details.)
|
||||
+
|
||||
+#. Start the service. When it authenticates using GSSAPI, it will
|
||||
+ automatically obtain credentials from the client keytab into the
|
||||
+ specified credential cache, and refresh them before they expire.
