Propagation

kpropd.ini

child[n]=fqdn Specifies secsrv_name’s child security server in the

 

propagation hierarchy, where fqdn is the fully qualified

 

domain name 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.

 

You cannot override the interval, service_name, or

NOTE

 

primary_realm values that you set in the

 

[default_values] section.

 

Examples

 

 

The sample [default_values] section below lists the default values

 

mkpropcf might create using information from the krb.conf file on a

 

primary security server that supports REALM1 as its default realm. The

 

propagation hierarchy that kpropd creates is derived from the security

 

servers that support the default realm.

 

The sample [secsrv_name] sections below illustrates a propagation

 

hierarchy where secsrv1 is the primary security server and the parent of

 

one secondary server, secsrv2. In addition, secsrv2 is the parent of the

 

secsrv3 and secsrv4 secondary servers.

 

secsrv1 and secsrv2 support two realms - REALM1 and REALM2. secsrv3

 

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

 

have a host/fqdn principal in REALM1. The Kerberos configuration files on

 

all servers contain the following entries:

 

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
