Installing, Configuring and Administering the Kerberos Server V 2.0 on HP-UX 11i

Configuration
krb.conf
Chapter 570
The first line of the krb.conf file identifies the host systems default
realm.
The second line and its subsequent lines require fields that identify the
Security Server hostnames. Each field in line must be separated by a
space or a tab.
The following format is generally used:
• The first field in the krb.conf file denotes the realm name. By
convention, realm names are in upper-case letters to visually
distinguish them from domain names.
NOTE Realm names are case sensitive; you must type the correct case for
the realm name if your site does not follow the upper-case
convention.
• The second field of the configuration file indicates the fully qualified
domain name (FQDN) of the host security server for that realm.
• The order of entries in the krb.conf file is important on the client
system as it is used to identify the intended order of redundant
Security Servers. Applications attempting to connect to the Security
Server, use this file to read the entries in the listed order. Redundant
security servers are used when higher priority security servers are
unavailable or a network time-out has occurred. For example, during
the authentication sequence when the network connection between
the client and a security server is interrupted.
To create comments, use the pound sign (#). Any characters after a
# symbol are ignored. Blank lines and any leading or trailing white
spaces in a line are also ignored.
