<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
This manual page describes the configuration of the Kerberos
5 authentication backend for
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>sssd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>.
For a detailed syntax reference, please refer to the <quote>FILE FORMAT</quote> section of the
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>sssd.conf</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> manual page.
</para>
<para>
The Kerberos 5 authentication backend contains auth and chpass
providers. It must be paired with an identity provider in
order to function properly (for example, id_provider = ldap). Some
information required by the Kerberos 5 authentication backend must
be provided by the identity provider, such as the user's Kerberos
Principal Name (UPN). The configuration of the identity provider
should have an entry to specify the UPN. Please refer to the man
page for the applicable identity provider for details on how to
configure this.
</para>
<para>
This backend also provides access control based on the .k5login
file in the home directory of the user. See <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>.k5login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> for more details. Please note that an empty .k5login
file will deny all access to this user. To activate this feature,
use 'access_provider = krb5' in your SSSD configuration.
</para>
<para>
In the case where the UPN is not available in the identity backend,
<command>sssd</command> will construct a UPN using the format
<replaceable>username</replaceable>@<replaceable>krb5_realm</replaceable>.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='file-format'>
<title>CONFIGURATION OPTIONS</title>
<para>
If the auth-module krb5 is used in an SSSD domain, the following
options must be used. See the
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>sssd.conf</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> manual page, section <quote>DOMAIN SECTIONS</quote>,
for details on the configuration of an SSSD domain.
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_server, krb5_backup_server (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames
of the Kerberos servers to which SSSD should
connect, in the order of preference. For more
information on failover and server redundancy,
see the <quote>FAILOVER</quote> section. An optional
port number (preceded by a colon) may be appended to
the addresses or hostnames.
If empty, service discovery is enabled;
for more information, refer to the
<quote>SERVICE DISCOVERY</quote> section.
</para>
<para>
When using service discovery for KDC or kpasswd servers,
SSSD first searches for DNS entries that specify _udp as
the protocol and falls back to _tcp if none are found.
</para>
<para>
This option was named <quote>krb5_kdcip</quote> in
earlier releases of SSSD. While the legacy name is recognized
for the time being, users are advised to migrate their config
files to use <quote>krb5_server</quote> instead.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_realm (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of the Kerberos realm. This option is required
and must be specified.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_kpasswd, krb5_backup_kpasswd (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If the change password service is not running on the
KDC, alternative servers can be defined here. An
optional port number (preceded by a colon) may be
appended to the addresses or hostnames.
</para>
<para>
For more information on failover and server
redundancy, see the <quote>FAILOVER</quote> section.
NOTE: Even if there are no more kpasswd
servers to try, the backend is not switched to operate offline
if authentication against the KDC is still possible.
</para>
<para>
Default: Use the KDC
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_ccachedir (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Directory to store credential caches. All the
substitution sequences of krb5_ccname_template can
be used here, too, except %d and %P. If the
directory does not exist, it will be created. If %u,
%U, %p or %h are used, a private directory belonging
to the user is created. Otherwise, a public directory
with restricted deletion flag (aka sticky bit, as
described in
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>chmod</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
</citerefentry> for details) is created.
</para>
<para>
Default: /tmp
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_ccname_template (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Location of the user's credential cache. Two credential
cache types are currently supported: <quote>FILE</quote>
and <quote>DIR</quote>. The cache can be specified either
as <replaceable>TYPE:RESIDUAL</replaceable>, or as an absolute
path, which implies the <quote>FILE</quote> type. In the
template, the following sequences are substituted:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_validate (boolean)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Verify with the help of krb5_keytab that the TGT
obtained has not been spoofed. The keytab is checked for
entries sequentially, and the first entry with a matching
realm is used for validation. If no entry matches the realm, the last
entry in the keytab is used. This process can be used to validate
environments using cross-realm trust by placing the appropriate
keytab entry as the last entry or the only entry in the keytab file.
</para>
<para>
Default: false
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>krb5_keytab (string)</term>

renewal is disabled.

Default: not set

following options are supported:
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>never</emphasis> use FAST. This is
equivalent to not setting this option at all.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>try</emphasis> to use FAST. If the server
