NAME
negotiate_kerberos_auth - Squid kerberos based authentication helper
Version 3.0.4sq
SYNOPSIS
negotiate_kerberos_auth [-h] [-d] [-i] [-r] [-s Service-Principal-Name]
[-k Keytab-Name] [-c Replay-Cache-Directory] [-t Replay-Cache-Type]
DESCRIPTION
negotiate_kerberos_auth is an installed binary and allows Squid to
authenticate users via the Negotiate protocol and Kerberos.
OPTIONS
-h Display the binary help and command line syntax info using
stderr.
-d Write debug messages to stderr.
-i Write informational messages to stderr.
-r Remove realm from username before returning the username to
squid.
-s Service-Principal-name
Provide Service Principal Name.
-k Keytab-Name
Provide Kerberos Keytab Name (Default: /etc/krb5.keytab)
-c Replay-Cache-Directory
Provide Replay Cache Directory (Default: /var/tmp)
-t Replay-Cache-Type
Provide Replay Cache Type (Default: dfl)
CONFIGURATION
This helper is intended to be used as an authentication helper in
squid.conf.
auth_param negotiate program /path/to/negotiate_kerberos_auth
auth_param negotiate children 10
auth_param negotiate keep_alive on
NOTE: The following squid startup file modification may be required:
Add the following lines to the squid startup script to point squid to a
keytab file which contains the HTTP/fqdn service principal for the
default Kerberos domain. The keytab name can also be provided by the -k
<keytab name> option. The fqdn must be the proxy name set in IE
or firefox. You can not use an IP address.
KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/squid/HTTP.keytab export KRB5_KTNAME
If you use a different Kerberos domain than the machine itself is in
you can point squid to the seperate Kerberos config file by setting the
following environmnet variable in the startup script.
KRB5_CONFIG=/etc/krb5-squid.conf export KRB5_CONFIG
Kerberos can keep a replay cache to detect the reuse of Kerberos
tickets (usually only possible in a 5 minute window) . If squid is
under high load with Negotiate(Kerberos) proxy authentication requests
the replay cache checks can create high CPU load. If the environment
does not require high security the replay cache check can be disabled
for MIT based Kerberos implementations by adding the below to the
startup script or use the -t none option.
KRB5RCACHETYPE=none export KRB5RCACHETYPE
If negotiate_kerberos_auth doesn't determine for some reason the right
service principal you can provide it with -s HTTP/fqdn.
If you serve multiple Kerberos realms add a HTTP/fqdn@REALM service
principal per realm to the HTTP.keytab file and use the -s
GSS_C_NO_NAME option with negotiate_kerberos_auth.
