>Class: sw-bug
>Release: 1.6.3
>Environment:
dell pe1750 running umce linux, krb5 1.6.3+patches
System: Linux strawdogs.ifs.umich.edu 2.6.23.1 #3 SMP Tue Oct 23 11:37:43 EDT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Architecture: i686
>Description:
While the cli doesn't expose it, there's a "setkey" rpc in the
kadm5 protocol. Using this provides an elegant way to handle
adding service keys such as for afs with less downtime.
>How-To-Repeat:
Write a program which calls kadm5_setkey_principal_3. Run it on
a principal. Then run kadmin & look at the resulting key type.
In 1.4.3 this worked fine; in stock 1.6.3, this results
in an enctype and kvno of 0.
>Fix:
Run-time workaround, don't call kadm5_setkey_principal_3.
Compile-time fix, apply the patch in
/afs/umich.edu/group/itd/build/mdw/krb5.15x/patches/krb5-1.6.3-setkey1.patch
