Automatic User Migration to a Kerberos Realm

UNIX users who do not have valid user accounts in the default Kerberos realm can be automatically migrated by using the PAM framework. Specifically, you add the pam_krb5_migrate.so module to the authentication stack of the PAM service. Services are then configured so that whenever a user who does not have a Kerberos principal performs a successful password login to a system, a Kerberos principal would be automatically created for that user. The new principal password is then the same as the UNIX password. For instructions about using the pam_krb5_migrate.so module, see How to Configure Automatic Migration of Users in a Kerberos Realm.
