8 hpropd can read MIT Kerberos dump in "kdb5_util load_dump version 5" or
9 version 6 format. Simply run:
10 @samp{kdb5_util dump}.
12 To load the MIT Kerberos dump file, use the following command:
14 @samp{/usr/heimdal/libexec/hprop --database=dump-file --master-key=/var/db/krb5kdc/mit_stash --source=mit-dump --decrypt --stdout | /usr/heimdal/libexec/hpropd --stdin}
16 kadmin can dump in MIT Kerberos format. Simply run:
17 @samp{kadmin -l dump -f MIT}.
19 The Heimdal KDC and kadmind, as well as kadmin -l and the libkadm5srv
20 library can read and write MIT KDBs, and can read MIT stash files. To
21 build with KDB support requires having a standalone libdb from MIT
22 Kerberos and associated headers, then you can configure Heildal as
25 @samp{./configure ... CPPFLAGS=-I/path-to-mit-db-headers LDFLAGS="-L/path-to-mit-db-object -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/path-to-mit-db-object" LDLIBS=-ldb}
27 At this time support for MIT Kerberos KDB dump/load format and direct
28 KDB access does not include support for PKINIT, or K/M key history,
29 constrained delegation, and other advanced features.
31 Heimdal supports using multiple HDBs at once, with all write going to
32 just one HDB. This allows for entries to be moved to a native HDB from
33 an MIT KDB over time as those entries are changed. Or you can use hprop
36 @section General issues
38 When migrating from a Kerberos 4 KDC.
40 @section Order in what to do things:
44 @item Convert the database, check all principals that hprop complains
47 @samp{hprop -n --source=<NNN>| hpropd -n}
49 Replace <NNN> with whatever source you have, like krb4-db or krb4-dump.
51 @item Run a Kerberos 5 slave for a while.
53 @c XXX Add you slave first to your kdc list in you kdc.
55 @item Figure out if it does everything you want it to.
57 Make sure that all things that you use works for you.
59 @item Let a small number of controlled users use Kerberos 5 tools.
61 Find a sample population of your users and check what programs they use,
62 you can also check the kdc-log to check what ticket are checked out.
64 @item Burn the bridge and change the master.
65 @item Let all users use the Kerberos 5 tools by default.
66 @item Turn off services that do not need Kerberos 4 authentication.
68 Things that might be hard to get away is old programs with support for
69 Kerberos 4. Example applications are old Eudora installations using
70 KPOP, and Zephyr. Eudora can use the Kerberos 4 kerberos in the Heimdal
