=head1 NAME asetkey - Add a key from a keytab to an AFS KeyFile =head1 SYNOPSIS =for html
B add > > > B delete > B list =for html
=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command is used to add a key to an AFS KeyFile from a Kerberos keytab. It is similar to B except that it must be run locally on the system where the KeyFile is located and it takes the new key from a Kerberos 5 keytab rather than prompting for the password. B can be used to delete a key (similar to B), and B will list the keys in a KeyFile (similar to B). B is used when authentication for an AFS cell is provided by a Kerberos 5 KDC rather than B. The key for the C or C> principal in the Kerberos 5 KDC must match the key stored in the AFS KeyFile on all AFS database servers and file servers. This is done by creating a keytab containing that key using the standard Kerberos commands (generally the C function of the B command) and then, on each AFS database server and file server, adding that key to the KeyFile with B. The I chosen should match the kvno in the Kerberos KDC (checked with B or the C function of B). I should be the name of the AFS principal in the keytab, which must be either C or C>. In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the F directory, it is conventional to run B only on the control machine and then let the Update Server propagate the new KeyFile to all other systems. =head1 CAUTIONS AFS currently only supports des-cbc-crc:v4 Kerberos keys. Make sure, when creating the keytab with C, you pass C<-e des-cbc-crc:v4> to force the encryption type. Otherwise, AFS authentication may not work. As soon as a new keytab is created with C, new AFS service tickets will use the new key. However, tokens formed from those service tickets will only work if the new key is present in the KeyFile on the AFS file server. There is therefore an outage window between when the new keytab is created and when the key had been added to the KeyFile of all AFS servers with B, during which newly obtained AFS tokens will not work properly. All of the KeyFile entries must match the key in the Kerberos KDC, but each time C is run, it creates a new key. Either the Update Server must be used to distribute the KeyFile to all servers or the same keytab must be used with B on each server. =head1 EXAMPLES The following commands create a new keytab for the principal C and then import the key into the KeyFile. Note the kvno in the output from C. % kadmin Authenticating as principal rra/admin@stanford.edu with password. Password for rra/admin@stanford.edu: kadmin: ktadd -k /tmp/afs.keytab -e des-cbc-crc:v4 afs Entry for principal afs with kvno 3, encryption type DES cbc mode with CRC-32 added to keytab WRFILE:/tmp/afs.keytab. kadmin: exit % asetkey 3 /tmp/afs.keytab afs You may want to use C> instead of C, particularly if you may have multiple AFS cells for a single Kerberos realm. =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be able to read (for B) and write (for B and B) the KeyFile, normally F. In practice, this means that the issuer must be the local superuser C on the AFS file server or database server. For B, the issuer must also be able to read the specified keytab file. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, kadmin(8), kvno(1) =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2006 Russ Allbery This documentation is covered by the IBM Public License Version 1.0.
