<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para>The file <replaceable>kaserverauxdb</replaceable> records failed authentication attempts for the
|
|
local Authentication Server. The server creates it automatically in the
|
|
<replaceable>/usr/afs/local</replaceable> directory by default; use the <emphasis role="bold">-localfiles</emphasis> argument to
|
|
the <emphasis role="bold">kaserver</emphasis> command to specify an alternate directory.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <replaceable>kaserverauxdb</replaceable> file is an internal database used by the
|
|
Authentication Server to prevent access by users who have exceeded the
|
|
limit on failed authentication attempts defined in their Authentication
|
|
Database entry. The Authentication Server refuses further attempts to
|
|
authenticate to an account listed in the database until either an AFS
|
|
system administrator issues the <emphasis role="bold">kas unlock</emphasis> command to unlock the
|
|
account, or the timeout period defined in the user's Authentication
|
|
Database entry passes.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <replaceable>kaserverauxdb</replaceable> file is in binary format, so its contents are not
|
|
directly accessible. However, the output from the <emphasis role="bold">kas examine</emphasis> command
|
|
reports an account's maximum number of failed attempts, the lockout time,
|
|
and whether the account is currently locked.</para>
