mkpropcf
The mkpropcf tool creates the kpropd.ini file, which is the default
propagation configuration file in a propagation hierarchy. The mkpropcf
tool exports the kpropd.ini file to the secondary servers. This file can be
located at the following directory:
/opt/krb5/install/mkpropcf
When the mkpropcf is executed on the primary security server without
any arguments, it creates the krpopd.ini file in the /opt/krb5
directory. mkpropcf derives the information from the primary security
server’s krb.conf file and takes into account only those security servers
that have been configured in the default realm, as specified in the
krb.conf file.
NOTE If the Kerberos configuration file, krb.conf, does not exist, then
mkpropcf creates a sample kpropd.ini file with one primary server and
10 secondary servers.
The general syntax for creating the kpropd.ini file is:
/opt/krb5/install/mkpropcf [-d] [-e] [-i file_name] [-f]
mkpropcf supports the following options:
-d Deletes the existing the kpropd.ini file
-e Used on the primary security server to export the
information in the /opt/krb5/admin/kpropd.ini file
into the temporary /opt/krb5/export.ini file on the
primary server. This file then needs to be manually
copied to the secondary server.
-i Run on a secondary security server to import the
information from the temporary export.ini file into
the secondary server’s kpropd.ini file. If a previous
configuration exists, to force re-writing of the
kpropd.ini file it must be used with the -f option. If
the -f option is not used, mkpropcf displays an error
message and does not create the new configuration file.
