make it store the MIT way, this is default for Heimdal 0.7.
.It Li check-rd-req-server
If set to "ignore", the framework will ignore any the server input to
.Xr krb5_rd_req 3,
this is very useful when the GSS-API server input the
wrong server name into the gss_accept_sec_context call.
.It Li k5login_directory = Va directory
Alternative location for user .k5login files. This option is provided
for compatibility with MIT krb5 configuration files.
.It Li k5login_authoritative = Va boolean
If true then if a principal is not found in k5login files then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will not fallback on principal to username mapping. This option is
provided for compatibility with MIT krb5 configuration files.
.It Li kuserok = Va rule ...
Specifies
.Xr krb5_userok 3
behavior.  If multiple values are given, then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will evaluate them in order until one succeeds or all fail.  Rules are
implemented by plugins, with three built-in plugins
described below. Default: USER-K5LOGIN SIMPLE DENY.
.It Li kuserok = Va DENY
If set and evaluated then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will deny access to the given username no matter what the principal name
might be.
.It Li kuserok = Va SIMPLE
If set and evaluated then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will use principal to username mapping (see auth_to_local below).  If
the principal maps to the requested username then access is allowed.
.It Li kuserok = Va SYSTEM-K5LOGIN[:directory]
If set and evaluated then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will use k5login files named after the
.Va luser
argument to
.Xr krb5_userok 3
in the given directory or in
.Pa /etc/k5login.d/ .
K5login files are text files, with each line containing just a principal
name; principals apearing in a user's k5login file are permitted access
to the user's account. Note: this rule performs no ownership nor
permissions checks on k5login files; proper ownership and
permissions/ACLs are expected due to the system k5login location being a
system location.
.It Li kuserok = Va USER-K5LOGIN
If set and evaluated then
.Xr krb5_userok 3
will use
.Pa ~luser/.k5login
and
.Pa ~luser/.k5login.d/* .
User k5login files and directories must be owned by the user and must
not have world nor group write permissions.
.It Li aname2lname-text-db = Va filename
The named file must be a sorted (in increasing order) text file where
every line consists of an unparsed principal name optionally followed by
whitespace and a username.  The aname2lname function will do a binary
search on this file, if configured, looking for lines that match the
given principal name, and if found the given username will be used, or,
if the username is missing, an error will be returned.  If the file
doesn't exist, or if no matching line is found then other plugins will
be allowed to run.
.It Li fcache_strict_checking
strict checking in FILE credential caches that owner, no symlink and
permissions is correct.
.El
.It Li [domain_realm]
This is a list of mappings from DNS domain to Kerberos realm.
Each binding in this section looks like:
.Pp
.Dl domain = realm
.Pp
The domain can be either a full name of a host or a trailing
component, in the latter case the domain-string should start with a
period.
The trailing component only matches hosts that are in the same domain, ie
.Dq .example.com
matches
.Dq foo.example.com ,
but not
.Dq foo.test.example.com .
.Pp
The realm may be the token `dns_locate', in which case the actual
realm will be determined using DNS (independently of the setting
of the `dns_lookup_realm' option).
.It Li [realms]
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Va REALM Li = {
.Bl -tag -width "xxx" -offset indent
.It Li kdc = Va [service/]host[:port]
Specifies a list of kdcs for this realm.
If the optional
.Va port
is absent, the
default value for the
.Dq kerberos/udp
.Dq kerberos/tcp ,
and
.Dq http/tcp
port (depending on service) will be used.
The kdcs will be used in the order that they are specified.
.Pp
The optional
.Va service
specifies over what medium the kdc should be
contacted.
Possible services are
.Dq udp ,
.Dq tcp ,
and
.Dq http .
Http can also be written as
.Dq http:// .

.Dq udp
and
.Dq tcp .

will be tried.
.It Li krb524_server = Va host[:port]

If it is not mentioned, the krb524 port on the kdcs will be tried.
.It Li v4_instance_convert

Use a binary search of the given DB.  The DB must be a flat-text
file sortedf in the "C" locale, with each record being a line

.Va REALM
is a default realm.
.It Li auth_to_local = DB:/path/to/db

Applies to principals from the
.Va REALM
if and only if

Use the given rule, if there's a plugin for it.
Applies to principals from the
.Va REALM
if and only if
.Va REALM
is a default realm.
.It Li auth_to_local = NONE

.Va auth_to_local_names
and any preceding
.Va auth_to_local
rules have precedence.

tells a client which realm it should contact in order to ultimately
obtain credentials for a service in the
.Va server-realm .
Secondly, it tells the KDC (and other servers) which realms are
allowed in a multi-hop traversal from

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
Since
.Nm
is read and parsed by the krb5 library, there is not a lot of
opportunities for programs to report parsing errors in any useful
format.
To help overcome this problem, there is a program
.Nm verify_krb5_conf
that reads
.Nm
and tries to emit useful diagnostics from parsing errors.
Note that this program does not have any way of knowing what options
are actually used and thus cannot warn about unknown or misspelled
ones.
