Runtime Data

Usage (stdout):


USAGE:
/SetRealm <DnsDomainName>
	Makes this computer a member of an RFC1510 Kerberos Realm
/MapUser <Principal> [Account]
	Maps a Kerberos Principal ('*' = any principal)
	to an account ('*' = an account by same name);
	If account name is omitted, mapping is deleted 
	for the specified principal
/AddKdc <RealmName> [KdcName]
	Defines a KDC entry for the given realm.
	If KdcName omitted, DNS may be used to locate KDCs.
/DelKdc <RealmName> [KdcName]
	deletes a KDC entry for the realm.
	If KdcName omitted, the realm entry itself is deleted.
/AddKpasswd <Realmname> <KpasswdName>
	Add Kpasswd server address for a realm
/DelKpasswd <Realmname> <KpasswdName>
	Delete Kpasswd server address for a realm
/Server <Servername>
	specify name of a Windows machine to target the changes.
/SetComputerPassword <Password>
	Sets the password for the computer's domain account
	(or host principal)
/RemoveRealm <RealmName>
	delete all information for this realm from the registry.
/Domain [DomainName]
	use this domain (if DomainName is unspecified, detect it)
/ChangePassword <OldPasswd> <NewPasswd>
	Use Kpasswd to change the logged-on user's password.
	Use '*' to be prompted for passwords.
/ListRealmFlags (no args)
	Lists the available Realm flags that ksetup knows
/SetRealmFlags <realm> <flag> [flag] [flag] [...]
	Sets RealmFlags for a specific realm
/AddRealmFlags <realm> <flag> [flag] [flag] [...]
	Adds additional RealmFlags to a realm
/DelRealmFlags <realm> <flag> [flag] [flag] [...]
	Deletes RealmFlags from a realm.
/DumpState (no args)
	Analyze the kerberos configuration on the given machine.
/AddHostToRealmMap <host> <realm>
	Adds a mapping for <host> to <realm> to the registry.
/DelHostToRealmMap <host> <realm>
	Deletes existing mapping for <host> to <realm> from the registry.
/SetEncTypeAttr <domainname> <enctypes>
	Sets the encryption types trust attribute for <domain> to <enctypes> (multiple types should be separated by spaces).
	Supported encryption types are:
	  DES-CBC-CRC, DES-CBC-MD5, RC4-HMAC-MD5, 
	  AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96, AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
/GetEncTypeAttr <domainname>
	Gets the encryption types trust attribute for <domain>.
/AddEncTypeAttr <domainname> <enctypes>
	Adds <enctypes> to the encryption types trust attribute for <domain> (multiple types should be separated by spaces).
/DelEncTypeAttr <domainname>
	Deletes the encryption types trust attribute for <domain>.

ksetup

Performs tasks related to setting up and maintaining Kerberos protocol and the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to support Kerberos realms. Specifically, this command is used to:

  • Change the computer settings for locating Kerberos realms. In non-Microsoft, Kerberos–based implementations, this information is usually kept in the Krb5.conf file. In Windows Server operating systems, it’s kept in the registry. You can use this tool to modify these settings. These settings are used by workstations to locate Kerberos realms and by domain controllers to locate Kerberos realms for cross-realm trust relationships.

  • Initialize registry keys that the Kerberos Security Support Provider (SSP) uses to locate a KDC for the Kerberos realm, if the computer is isn’t a member of a Windows domain. After configuration, the user of a client computer running the Windows operating system can log on to accounts in the Kerberos realm.

  • Search the registry for the domain name of the user’s realm and then resolves the name to an IP address by querying a DNS server. The Kerberos protocol can use DNS to locate KDCs by using only the realm name, but it must be specially configured to do so.
