Thread: configuration kerberos in Postgre sql

Hi,

after compling the postgresql --with-krb5  and setting up the krb5-server in centos, I configured the postgresql.conf as bellow:

krb_server_keyfile = '/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab'
krb_srvname = 'POSTGRES'        # (Kerberos only)
#krb_caseins_users = off
 
and

my pg_hba.conf is :

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         postgres                         trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host   all         frank       0.0.0.0/0            krb5
#host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32      trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               trust


,and kdc.conf

kdcdefaults]
 v4_mode = nopreauth
 kdc_tcp_ports = 88

[realms]
 EXAMPLE.COM = {
  #master_key_type = des3-hmac-sha1
  acl_file = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
  dict_file = /usr/share/dict/words
  admin_keytab = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
  supported_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1:normal arcfour-hmac:normal des-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-md5:normal des-cbc-crc:normal des-cbc-crc:v4 des-cbc-crc:afs3
 }
 
Then, I created the user frank  as :

 kadmin.local
Authenticating as principal rahimeh/admin@EXAMPLE.COM with password.
kadmin.local:  ank frank
WARNING: no policy specified for frank@EXAMPLE.COM; defaulting to no policy
Enter password for principal "frank@EXAMPLE.COM":
Re-enter password for principal "frank@EXAMPLE.COM":

kadmin.local: ktadd -k /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab frank
Entry for principal frank with kvno 2, encryption type Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
Entry for principal frank with kvno 2, encryption type ArcFour with HMAC/md5 added to keytab WRFILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
Entry for principal frank with kvno 2, encryption type DES with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.
Entry for principal frank with kvno 2, encryption type DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5 added to keytab WRFILE:/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab.

Finally, it gives error like:

[root@localhost ~]# kinit frank -t /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
Password for frank@EXAMPLE.COM:
kinit(v5): Password incorrect while getting initial credentials

or

in cmd when I run this instruction the below error is shown.

[root@localhost bin]# ./psql -h 127.0.0.1  -U frank
psql: krb5_sendauth: Bad application version was sent (via sendauth)


Please help me.

Hi Rahimeh,

Is PG on the same box as the kadmind?

I like to specify my krb_server_hostname explicitly here.

If this is the same machine as PG, I'm not sure why you have the same file here as
for the keytab to keep the PG service principal in.  My manpage for kdc.conf says
that admin_keytab specifies the keytab to be used by kadmin to authenticate to the
database, so really shouldn't be kept very distinct from the keytab with the PG
service principal.

But for PG you'll need a keytab with the service principal you've defined to be
POSTGRES/<hostname>@EXAMPLE.COM in it.

>>> Finally, it gives error like:
>>>
>>> [root@localhost ~]# *kinit frank* -t /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab

I've never had much joy myself when getting tickets from a -t keytab, I usually just
kinit and enter a password instead.

>>>
>>> [root@localhost bin]# ./psql -h 127.0.0.1  -U frank

To construct the service principal the library takes the the -h argument, then gets
the A record for it (if applicable), then gets the PTR record for the A record to get
the hostname for the service principal name (unless you're using Windows I have
found, in which case it just stops and takes the originally given hostname if an A
record exists).  Just use a non-127 address instead, it'll make things a lot easier
to keep straight.  For that matter, /etc/hostname and /etc/resolv.conf would be good
to see too because of their importance here.

Hi,

I try to setup kerberos authentication in Postgresql 8.1.18 on centos.

But I have some problem.

I setup postgresql.conf as below:

krb_server_keyfile = '/usr/local/pgsql/data/
