Propagating the Kerberos Server

The kpropd.ini File

child[n]=fqdn Specifies the child security server of the secsrv_name

 

in the propagation hierarchy, where fqdn is the FQDN

 

of the child server. A security server can have zero or

 

more child servers.

 

If more than one child server receives propagated

 

records from secsrv_name, include a complete child

 

configuration line for each additional child, where each

 

child is uniquely numbered with the suffix n, beginning

 

with child1.

 

 

NOTE

You cannot override the interval, service_name, or

 

primary_realm values that you set in the

 

[default_values] section.

 

Examples

 

 

Following is a sample [secsrv_name] section in the Kerberos

 

configuration file:

 

REALM1

 

REALM1 secsrv1.company.com admin server

 

REALM2 secsrv1.company.com admin server

 

REALM1 secsrv1.company.com

 

REALM2 secsrv2.company.com

 

REALM2 secsrv2.company.com

 

REALM1 secsrv3.company.com

 

REALM2 secsrv4.company.com

 

The [secsrv_name] section denotes a propagation hierarchy where

 

secsrv1 is the primary security server and the parent of the secondary

 

security server, secsrv2. In addition, secsrv2 is the parent of the

 

secsrv3 and secsrv4 secondary security servers.

 

The security servers secsrv1 and secsrv2 support the realms REALM1

 

and REALM2. The secondary security server secsrv3 supports only

 

REALM1, while secsrv4 supports only REALM2. All servers have a

 

host/fqdn principal in REALM1.
