The use of TLS also encrypts all traffic between the ++clients and the KDC, preventing observers from conducting password ++dictionary attacks or from observing the client and server principals ++being authenticated, at additional computational cost to both clients ++and servers. ++ ++An HTTPS proxy server is provided as a feature in some versions of ++Microsoft Windows Server, and a WSGI implementation named `kdcproxy` ++is available in the python package index. ++ ++ ++Configuring the clients ++----------------------- ++ ++To use an HTTPS proxy, a client host must trust the CA which issued ++that proxy's SSL certificate. If that CA's certificate is not in the ++system-wide default set of trusted certificates, configure the ++following relation in the client host's :ref:`krb5.conf(5)` file in ++the appropriate :ref:`realms` subsection:: ++ ++ http_anchors = FILE:/etc/krb5/cacert.pem ++ ++Adjust the pathname to match the path of the file which contains a ++copy of the CA's certificate. The `http_anchors` option is documented ++more fully in :ref:`krb5.conf(5)`. ++ ++Configure the client to access the KDC and kpasswd service by ++specifying their locations in its :ref:`krb5.conf(5)` file in the form ++of HTTPS URLs for the proxy server:: ++ ++ kdc = https://server.fqdn/KdcProxy ++ kpasswd_server = https://server.fqdn/KdcProxy ++ ++If the proxy and client are properly configured, client commands such ++as ``kinit``, ``kvno``, and ``kpasswd`` should all function normally. +diff --git a/doc/admin/index.rst b/doc/admin/index.rst +index 3406843..3cd57f5 100644 +--- a/doc/admin/index.rst ++++ b/doc/admin/index.rst +@@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ For administrators + otp.rst + princ_dns.rst + enctypes.rst ++ https.rst + + .. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 +-- +2.1.0 + |
