SetupNewKrbServer

New Krb slave setup

There's not much work to do when setting up Kerberos slave server, but there are some caveats. The procedure is as follows:

Then, attempt first database propagation from master server to new slave (the attempt will exit with an error because the database is not created on the slave server. And it shouldn't have to be, but it's currently a known bug in Krb -- or it may have been fixed in Krb 1.8, but see yourself):

kdb5_util dump /var/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans
kprop NEWMACHINE.hcoop.net

Then, on slave, go to /var/lib/krb5kdc/ and do the following to create the database:

After that, retry kprop which should succeed.

Finally, edit /afs/hcoop.net/common/etc/scripts/hcoop-kprop and add section which propagates database to new machine, then tail -f /var/log/syslog on the slave and expect messages like this:

Sep 23 07:24:01 hopper kpropd[22567]: Connection from deleuze.hcoop.net
Sep 23 07:25:01 hopper kpropd[22569]: Connection from deleuze.hcoop.net
Sep 23 07:26:01 hopper kpropd[22571]: Connection from deleuze.hcoop.net

And, edit /afs/hcoop.net/user/h/hc/hcoop/.domtool/hcoop.net to add appropriate DNS entries for the new Krb server. To apply changes, cd into that .domtool directory and run DOMTOOL_USER=hcoop domtool hcoop.net.
