I'm running a "Test" murder setup using cyrus-imapd-2.3.6 trying to use kerberos V authentication between front-end and Mupdate Master. I have a couple of questions regarding kerberos principals. 1) Do I need a user principal on front-end along with mupdate service key? 2) Do Mupdate Master and front-end need imap service principals? Front-end cyrus.conf: # standard standalone server implementation START { auth cmd="/usr/kerberos/bin/kinit -k -t /etc/imap/mupdate.keytab mupdate/fe.example.com" recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r" } SERVICES { mupdate cmd="/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mupdate" listen=3905 prefork=1 imap cmd="proxyd" listen="imap" prefork=10 maxchild=750 imaps cmd="proxyd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=10 maxchild=750 imapp cmd="proxyd" listen="imap-priv" prefork=2 maxchild=5 lmtp cmd="proxyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=5 maxchild=10 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=1 maxchild=10 # lmtpunix cmd="porxyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtpproxy" prefork=1 } EVENTS { checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=5 delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" period=1440 tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" period=1440 reauth cmd="/usr/kerberos/bin/kinit -k -t /etc/imap/mupdate.keytab mupdate/fe.example.com" period="300" } Mupdate master cyrus.conf: # standard standalone server implementation START { auth cmd="/usr/kerberos/bin/kinit -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab mupdate/master.example.com" recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r" idled cmd="idled" } SERVICES { mupdate cmd="/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mupdate -m" listen=3905 prefork=1 imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=5 imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=1 pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=3 pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=1 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0 lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1 } EVENTS { checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30 delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400 tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" at=0400 reauth cmd="/usr/kerberos/bin/kinit -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab mupdate/master.example.com" period="300" } Regards KMK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
