.SH "NAME"
KeyFile \- Defines AFS server encryption keys
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fIKeyFile\fR file defines the server encryption keys that the \s-1AFS\s0 server
processes running on the machine use to decrypt the tickets presented by
clients during the mutual authentication process. \s-1AFS\s0 server processes
perform privileged actions only for clients that possess a ticket
encrypted with one of the keys from the file. The file must reside in the
\&\fI/usr/afs/etc\fR directory on every server machine. For more detailed
information on mutual authentication and server encryption keys, see the
\&\fIOpenAFS Administration Guide\fR.
.PP
Each key has a corresponding a key version number that distinguishes it
from the other keys. The tickets that clients present are also marked with
a key version number to tell the server process which key to use to
decrypt it. The \fIKeyFile\fR file must always include a key with the same
key version number and contents as the key currently listed for the
\&\f(CW\*(C`afs/\f(CIcell\f(CW\*(C'\fR principal in the associated Kerberos v5 realm or
Authentication Database. (The principal \f(CW\*(C`afs\*(C'\fR may be used if the cell and
realm names are the same, but adding the cell name to the principal is
recommended even in this case. \f(CW\*(C`afs\*(C'\fR must be used as the principal name
if the cell uses the Authentication Server rather than a Kerberos v5
realm.) The key must be a \s-1DES\s0 key; no stronger encryption type is
supported.
.PP
The \fIKeyFile\fR file is in binary format, so always use either the
\&\fBasetkey\fR command or the appropriate commands from the \fBbos\fR command
suite to administer it:
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \fBasetkey add\fR or \fBbos addkey\fR command to add a new key.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \fBasetkey list\fR or \fBbos listkeys\fR command to display the keys.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \fBasetkey delete\fR or \fBbos removekey\fR command to remove a key from the
file.
.PP
The \fBasetkey\fR commands must be run on the same server as the \fIKeyFile\fR
file to update. The \fBbos\fR commands may be run remotely. Normally, new
keys should be added from a Kerberos v5 keytab using \fBasetkey add\fR.
\&\fBbos addkey\fR is normally only used if the Authentication Server is in use
instead of a Kerberos v5 realm.
.PP
In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the
\&\fI/usr/afs/etc\fR directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the
file stored on the system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on
each server machine individually.
.SH "CAUTIONS"
.IX Header "CAUTIONS"
The most common error caused by changes to \fIKeyFile\fR is to add a key that
does not match the corresponding key for the Kerberos v5 principal or
Authentication Server database entry. Both the key and the key version
number must match the key for the corresponding principal, either
\&\f(CW\*(C`afs/\f(CIcell\f(CW\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`afs\*(C'\fR, in the Kerberos v5 realm or Authentication
Database. For a Kerberos v5 realm, that principal must only have \s-1DES\s0
encryption types in the Kerberos \s-1KDC\s0.
.PP
In the unusual case of using \fBbos addkey\fR to add a key with a known
password matching a password used to generate Kerberos v5 keys, the keys
in the Kerberos v5 \s-1KDC\s0 database must use \f(CW\*(C`afs3\*(C'\fR salt, not the default
Kerberos v5 salt. The salt doesn't matter for the more normal procedure of
extracting a keytab and then adding the key using \fBasetkey\fR.
