| 21 | .SH "NAME"
|
|---|
| 22 | winbind_krb5_locator \- A plugin for MIT and Heimdal Kerberos for detecting KDCs using Windows semantics\&.
|
|---|
| 23 | .SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|---|
| 24 | .PP
|
|---|
| 25 | This plugin is part of the
|
|---|
| 26 | \fBsamba\fR(7)
|
|---|
| 27 | suite\&.
|
|---|
| 28 | .PP

|
|---|
| 30 | winbind_krb5_locator
|
|---|
| 31 | is a plugin that permits MIT and Heimdal Kerberos libraries to detect Kerberos Servers (for the KDC and kpasswd service) using the same semantics that other tools of the Samba suite use\&. This include site\-aware DNS service record lookups and caching of closest dc\&. The plugin uses the public locator API provided by most modern Kerberos implementations\&.
|
|---|
| 32 | .SH "PREREQUISITES"
|
|---|
| 33 | .PP
|
|---|
| 34 | MIT Kerberos (at least version 1\&.5) or Heimdal Kerberos (at least version 1\&.0) is required\&.
|
|---|
| 35 | .PP
|
|---|
| 36 | The plugin queries the
|
|---|
| 37 | \fBwinbindd\fR(8)
|
|---|
| 38 | daemon which needs to be configured and started separately\&.
|
|---|
| 39 | .PP
|
|---|
| 40 | The
|
|---|
| 41 | winbind_krb5_locator\&.so
|
|---|
| 42 | file needs to be manually copied to the plugin directory of the system Kerberos library\&. For MIT Kerberos this is often:
|
|---|
| 43 | /usr/lib/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/\&. For Heimdal Kerberos this is often:
|
|---|
| 44 | /usr/lib/plugin/krb5/\&. Please check your local Kerberos installation for the correct paths\&. No modification in
|
|---|
| 45 | /etc/krb5\&.conf
|
|---|
| 46 | is required to enable the use of this plugin\&.
|
|---|
| 47 | .PP
|
|---|
| 48 | After copying the locator plugin to the appropriate plugin directory it should immediately be available for use\&. Users should be able to kinit into their kerberized Windows environment without any modification or servers being put manually into
|
|---|
| 49 | /etc/krb5\&.conf\&.
|
|---|
| 50 | .SH "VERSION"
|
|---|
| 51 | .PP
|
|---|
| 52 | This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.
|
|---|
| 53 | .SH "AUTHOR"
|
|---|
| 54 | .PP
|
|---|
| 55 | The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
|
|---|
| 56 | .PP
|
|---|
| 57 | The winbind_krb5_locator manpage was written by Guenther Deschner\&.
