Configuration file for Kerberos 5
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The 
.Nm
file specifies several configuration parameters for the Kerberos 5
library, as well as for some programs.
.Pp
The file consists of one or more sections, containing a number of
bindings. The value of each binding can be either a string or a list
of other bindings. The grammar looks like:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
file:
	/* empty */
	sections

sections:
	section sections
	section

section:
	'[' section_name ']' bindings

section_name:
	STRING

bindings:
	binding bindings
	binding

binding:
	name '=' STRING
	name '=' '{' bindings '}'

name:
	STRING

.Ed
.Li STRINGs
consists of one or more non-white space characters.
Currently recognised sections and bindings are:

.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Li [libdefaults]
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Li default_realm = Va REALM
Default realm to use, this is also known as your 
.Dq local realm .
The default is the result of
.Fn krb5_get_host_realm "local hostname" .
.It Li clockskew = Va time
Maximum time differential (in seconds) allowed when comparing
times. Default is 300 seconds (five minutes).
.It Li kdc_timeout = Va time
Maximum time to wait for a reply from the kdc, default is 3 seconds.
.It v4_name_convert
.It v4_instance_resolve
These are decribed in the 
.Xr krb5_425_conv_principal  3
manual page.
.It Li capath = Va realm-routing-table
.It Li default_etypes = Va etypes...
A list of default etypes to use.
.It Li default_etypes_des = Va etypes...
A list of default etypes to use when requesting a DES credential.
.It Li default_keytab_name = Va keytab
The keytab to use if none other is specified, default is
.Dq FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab .
.It Li kdc_timesync = Va boolean
Try to keep track of the time differential between the local machine
and the KDC, and then compensate for that when issuing requests.
.It Li max_retries = Va number
The max number of times to try to contact each KDC.
.It Li ticket_lifetime = Va time
Default ticket lifetime.
.It Li renew_lifetime = Va time
Default renewable ticket lifetime.
.It Li verify_ap_req_nofail = Va boolean
Enable to make a failure to verify obtained credentials
non-fatal. This can be useful if there is no keytab on a host.
.It Li warn_pwexpire = Va time
How soon to warn for expiring password. Default is seven days.
.It Li http_proxy = Va proxy-spec
A HTTP-proxy to use when talking to the KDC via HTTP.
.It Li dns_proxy = Va proxy-spec
Enable using DNS via HTTP.
.It Li extra_addresses = Va address...
A list of addresses to get tickets for along with all local addresses.
.It Li time_format = Va string
How to print time strings in logs, this string is passed to
.Xr strftime 3 .
.It Li log_utc = Va boolean
Write log-entries using UTC instead of your local time zone.
.El
.It Li [domain_realm]
This is a list of mappings from DNS domain to Kerberos realm. Each
binding in this section looks like:
.Pp
.Dl domain = realm
.Pp
The domain can be either a full name of a host or a trailing
component, in the latter case the domain-string should start with a
perid.
.It Li [realms]
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Va REALM Li = {
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Li kdc = Va host[:port]
Specifies a kdc for this realm. If the optional port is absent, the
default value for the
.Dq kerberos/udp
service will be used.
.It Li v4_instance_convert
.It Li v4_name_convert
.It Li default_domain
See
.Xr krb5_425_conv_principal 3 .
.El
.It Li }
.El
.It Li [logging]
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Va entity Li = Va destination
Specifies that
.Va entity
should use the specified
.Li destination
for logging. See the
.Xr krb5_openlog 3
manual page for a list of defined destinations.
