Problem/Justification
I am switching to Kerberos for user auth in my lab. I have multiple domains that I support under a single Kerberos realm. I need the ability to add entries to the [domain_realm] section in the krb5.conf file. Manual changes to the file are not permanent.
Impact
Average users should see no impact from this feature as they will have no need to use it. Experienced users with advanced configuration requirements will benefit from the additional flexibility.
User Story
I see this feature being implemented as an additional input item on the Directory Services > Kerberos Settings
screen with the Appdefaults Auxiliary Parameters
and Libdefaults Auxiliary Parameters
settings. Anything the user adds to the Domain_Realm Auxiliary Parameters
would be added to the [Domain_Realm]
section of /etc/krb5.conf
.
