On machines without IPv6 support, binding to it will likely fail and the kdc/kadmin services won't start. Steps to reproduce the problem on zesty: a) install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server $ sudo apt install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server when prompted, use EXAMPLE.ORG (all caps) as the default realm when prompted, use the IP of this machine for the KDC and the Admin servers b) configure a new realm called EXAMPLE.ORG $ sudo krb5_newrealm use any password of your liking when prompted c) confirm the kdc and admin services are running. $ ps faxw|grep -E "(krb5kdc|kadmind)"|grep -v grep 4275 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/krb5kdc -P /var/run/krb5-kdc.pid 4306 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/kadmind -nofork d) create a principal and obtain a ticket to confirm kerberos is working properly: $ sudo kadmin.local addprinc -pw ubuntu +requires_preauth ubuntu $ kinit Password for ubu...@example.org: $ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000 Default principal: ubu...@example.org Valid starting Expires Service principal 05/04/2017 14:20:17 05/05/2017 00:20:17 krbtgt/example....@example.org renew until 05/05/2017 14:20:13 e) Confirm the kerberos services are bound to IPv6 local sockets: $ sudo netstat -anp|grep -E "^(tcp|udp)6.*(krb5kdc|kadmind)" tcp6 0 0 :::88 :::* LISTEN 1078/krb5kdc tcp6 0 0 :::749 :::* LISTEN 1065/kadmind tcp6 0 0 :::464 :::* LISTEN 1065/kadmind udp6 0 0 :::88 :::* 1078/krb5kdc udp6 0 0 :::464 :::* 1065/kadmind udp6 0 0 :::750 :::* 1078/krb5kdc f) configure the system to not support IPv6. There are probably many ways to do this, but the one sure way is to reboot it with ipv6.disable=1 in the kernel command line: e.1) edit /etc/default/grub e.2) add "ipv6.disable=1" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and save e.3) run sudo update-grub e.4) reboot f) Confirm the kdc and admin services are NOT running: $ ps faxw|grep -E "(krb5kdc|kadmind)"|grep -v grep $ g) /var/log/auth.log will contain the reason: $ sudo grep -E "(kadmind|krb5kdc).*Failed" /var/log/auth.log May 4 14:11:54 22-96 krb5kdc[1087]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.750) May 4 14:11:54 22-96 kadmind[1085]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.464) May 4 14:15:36 22-96 krb5kdc[1510]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.750) May 4 14:16:36 22-96 krb5kdc[1652]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.750) May 4 14:25:54 22-96 kadmind[1085]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.464) May 4 14:25:54 22-96 krb5kdc[1079]: Failed setting up a UDP socket (for ::.750) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1688310/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
