KB-11015: Custom kerberos cache directory

Authentication Service ,  

14 September,18 at 03:02 PM

Question: How to specify an alternative location for the kerberos cache files?

Answer: Beginning in Release 18.8 (CentrifyDC Agent 5.5.1) you can use the following parameter in the /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf file:

      adclient.krb5.user.ccache.dir



This is useful when kerberos applications in docker containers use the kerberos cache files.
This parameter, in conjunction with adclient.krb5.ccache.dir.secure.usable.check
enables volume bind mapping so that kerberos cache files in the host OS are available to the docker containers.

Default is empty string.

If adclient.krb5.ccache.dir is not configured or set to default empty
string, then:
The system default ccache directory is used.

- On AIX: /var/krb5/security/creds
- On others: /tmp



Example:

Suppose you have an application that is only looking for kerberos credentials cache in a directory other than /tmp. You could uncomment and edit this parameter to look like the following:

     adclient.krb5.ccache.dir: /tmp/sample/directory

Then run adreload and try again to see if the kerberos cache files get stored where you specified.
