krb.conf(SFF)

krb.conf -- Kerberos configuration file

Format

realm_name key_distribution_center_host_name

Description

krb.conf contains configuration information describing the Kerberos realm and the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) servers for known realms.

The first line of krb.conf identifies the default realm to be used in a client host's Kerberos activity.

Each subsequent line maps a realm name to a host running a KDC for that realm. The first token on the line is the realm name, and the second is the hostname of a host running a KDC for that realm.

Examples

The following file entries configure the local host to run in the foo.mit.edu realm by default, and they identify kerberos-1.mit.edu and bar-kerberos.mit.edu as KDCs for the athena.mit.edu and foo.mit.edu realms respectively: 
   foo.mit.edu
   athena.mit.edu kerberos-1.mit.edu
   foo.mit.edu bar-kerberos.mit.edu
