NAME
       krb5envvar - Kerberos environment variables

DESCRIPTION
       The  Kerberos  mechanism  provides a number of environment variables to
       configure different behavior in  order  to  meet  applications'  needs.
       Environment variables used within the Kerberos mechanism are:

       KRB5_KTNAME

           Used  by  the  mechanism  to  specify the location of the key table
           file. The variable can be set to the following value:

             [[<kt type>:]<file name>]

           where <kt type> can be FILE or WRFILE. FILE is for read operations;
           WRFILE  is for write operations. <file name> is the location of the
           keytab file.

           If KRB5_KTNAME is not defined, the default value is:

             FILE:/etc/krb5/krb5.keytab

           The keytab file is used to store credentials  persistently  and  is
           used commonly for service daemons.

           Specifying  the FILE type assumes that the subsequent operations on
           the associated file are readable by the invoking process. Care must
           be  taken  to  ensure  that the file is readable only by the set of
           principals that need to retrieve their unencrypted keys.

           The WRFILE type is used by the kadmin(1) command.  Specifying  this
           type allows the administrator to designate an alternate keytab file
           to write to without using extra command  line  arguments  for  file
           location.


       KRB5CCNAME

           Used  by  the  mechanism  to specify the location of the credential
           cache. The variable can be set to the following value:

             [[<cc type>:]<file name>]

           where <cc type> can be FILE or MEMORY. <file name> is the  location
           of the principal's credential cache.

           If KRB5CCNAME is not defined, the default value is:

             FILE:/tmp/volatile-user/<uid>/krb5cc_<uid>

           where  <uid>  is  the user id of the process that created the cache
           file.

           The credential cache file is used to store tickets that  have  been
           granted to the principal.

           Specifying the FILE types assumes that subsequent operations on the
           associated file are readable and writable by the invoking  process.
           Care  must  be  taken to ensure that the file is accessible only by
           the set of principals that need to access their credentials. If the
           credential  file  is in a directory to which other users have write
           access, you need to set that directory's sticky bit (see chmod(1)).

           The MEMORY credential cache type is used  only  in  special  cases,
           such  as when making a temporary cache for the life of the invoking
           process.


       KRB5RCNAME

           Used by the mechanism to specify  the  type  and  location  of  the
           replay cache. The variable can be set to the following value:

             [[<rc type>:]<file name>]

           where <rc type> can be either FILE, MEMORY, or NONE. <file name> is
           relevant only when specifying the replay cache file type.

           If not defined, the default value is:

             FILE:/var/krb5/rcache/root/rc_<service>

           ...if the process is owned by root, or:

             FILE:/var/krb5/rcache/rc_<service>

           ...if the process is owned by a user other than root. <service>  is
           the service process name associated with the replay cache file.

           The  replay  cache  is  used  by  Kerberos  to detect the replay of
           authentication data. This prevents people who  capture  authentica‐
           tion  messages  on the network from authenticating to the server by
           resending these messages.

           When specifying the FILE replay cache type, care must be  taken  to
           prevent  the  replay cache file from being deleted by another user.
           Make sure that every directory in the replay cache path  is  either
           writable  only  by the owner of the replay cache or that the sticky
           bit ("t") is set on every directory in the  replay  cache  path  to
           which others have write permission.

           When  specifying the MEMORY replay cache type you need to weigh the
           trade-off of performance against the slight security  risk  created
           by  using  a  non-persistent  cache.  The risk occurs during system
           reboots when the following condition obtains:

               o      The duration from the last write  to  the  replay  cache
                      before  reboot  to  the point when the Kerberized server
                      applications are  running  is  less  than  the  Kerberos
                      clockskew (see krb5.conf(5)).
           When  specifying  the NONE replay cache time you need to understand
           that this disables the replay cache, and all  security  risks  that
           this presents. This includes all the risks outlined in this section
           of the man page.

           Under this condition, the server applications can accept  a  replay
           of  Kerberos  authentication data (up to the difference between the
           time of the last write and the clockskew).  Typically,  this  is  a
           small  window  of time. If the server applications take longer than
           the clockskew to start accepting connections  there  is  no  replay
           risk.

           The  risk  described above is the same when using FILE replay cache
           types when the replay cache resides on swap file systems,  such  as
           /tmp and /var/run.

           The  performance improvement in MEMORY replay cache types over FILE
           types is derived from the absence of disk I/O. This is true even if
           the  FILE  replay  cache is on a memory-backed file system, such as
           swap (/tmp and /var/run).

           Note that MEMORY-type caches are per-process caches,  therefore use
           of these types of caches must be carefully considered. One  example
           of where MEMORY-type caches can be problematic  is when an applica‐
           tion  uses   more  than  one process for establishing security con‐
           texts. In such a case, memory replay caches are not  shared  across
           the processes, thus  allowing potential for replay attacks.


       KRB5_CONFIG

           Allows the Kerberos library to read configuration parameters from a
           file other than /etc/krb5/krb5.conf. To use kinit from ksh(1),  use
           the following example:

             KRB5_CONFIG=/var/tmp/krb5.conf kinit
