From 8b8707d260012c1a7e51b25a2fa9e488418c171d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stef Walter Date: Mar 20 2012 22:16:51 +0000 Subject: Change back dns_lookup_kdc to the default The specifications recommend against using TXT records to mapping hostnames to realms. However they do not recommend against using SRV records to lookup the KDC. Change back to the MIT default of enabling DNS for KDC lookup. This allows automatic configuration and failover. A theoretical attack involving SRV records could be similarly accomplished by a similar attack involving the A records for the KDC hosts. --- diff --git a/krb5.conf b/krb5.conf index 33ec1cc..b2e0a25 100644 --- a/krb5.conf +++ b/krb5.conf @@ -6,7 +6,6 @@ [libdefaults] default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM dns_lookup_realm = false - dns_lookup_kdc = false ticket_lifetime = 24h renew_lifetime = 7d forwardable = true
