How to Create a Kerberos Client Installation Profile

This procedure creates a kclient profile that can be used when you install a Kerberos client. By using the profile, you reduce the likelihood of typing errors. Also, using the profile reduces user intervention as compared to the interactive process.

Before You Begin

You must assume the root role. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

1. Create a kclient installation profile.

   The following is a sample kclient profile:

   client# pfedit kcprofile
   REALM EXAMPLE.COM
   KDC kdc1.example.com
   ADMIN clntconfig
   FILEPATH /net/denver.example.com/export/install/krb5.conf
   NFS 1
   DNSLOOKUP none

2. Protect the file and store it for use by other clients.

   client# cp kcprofile /net/denver.example.com/export/install
   denver# chown root kcprofile; chmod 644 kcprofile
