NAME

4     kpasswdd — Kerberos 5 password changing server
5

SYNOPSIS

7     kpasswdd [--addresses=address] [--check-library=library]
8              [--check-function=function] [-k kspec | --keytab=kspec] [-r
9              realm | --realm=realm] [-p string | --port=string] [--version]
10              [--help]

DESCRIPTION

13     kpasswdd serves request for password changes. It listens on UDP port 464
14     (service kpasswd) and processes requests when they arrive. It changes the
15     database directly and should thus only run on the master KDC.
16
17     Supported options:
18
19     --addresses=address
20             For each till the argument is given, add the address to what
21             kpasswdd should listen too.
22
23     --check-library=library
24             If your system has support for dynamic loading of shared
25             libraries, you can use an external function to check password
26             quality. This option specifies which library to load.
27
28     --check-function=function
29             This is the function to call in the loaded library. The function
30             should look like this:
31
32             const char * passwd_check(krb5_context context, krb5_principal
33             principal, krb5_data *password)
34
35             context is an initialized context; principal is the one who tries
36             to change passwords, and password is the new password. Note that
37             the password (in password->data) is not zero terminated.
38
39     -k kspec, --keytab=kspec
40             Keytab to get authentication key from.
41
42     -r realm, --realm=realm
43             Default realm.
44
45     -p string, --port=string
46             Port to listen on (default service kpasswd - 464).
47

DIAGNOSTICS

49     If an error occurs, the error message is returned to the user and/or
50     logged to syslog.
51

BUGS

53     The default password quality checks are too basic.
