The local KDC in Leopard is pretty rad. This page will be a jumble of research and various investigations regarding the LKDC.

Discovery

The LKDC realm name of a remote Mac OS X machine may be discovered as follows: 

dns-sd -Q "_kerberos.donk.local" txt

Replace "donk" with the rendezvous name of a Leopard machine on your local network (can test on yourself if needed).

The result is a string of hex characters. This command does not terminate, so control-C to stop it. Now take the hex and run it through xxd -r -c 256. 

xxd -r -c 256

<paste in the hex string, press return>

The result is the LKDC realm name, such as LKDC:SHA1.8B0FBACC08E3152A473A68D303E297A13CAA3AFD

Interesting Files

  • NetAuthAgent - this one appears to be a client side Kerberos helper. The role of NetAuthAgent appears to be to manage the Kerberos authentication process at a high level on behalf of screen sharing (vncserver), afp client, and cifs client. A string dump reveals the following chunk of kerberos service names:
vncserver
webdaveserver
ftpsserver
ftpserver
cifs
afpserver

vncserver, cifs, and afpserver are the only 3 services that are kerberized in the LKDC by default, though NetAuthAgent appears to support others as well. Looking at all strings matching 'kerb', we see:

  • /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC - this is a perl script that installs the LKDC at installation time, including creating service principals, editing service config files, and installing a kerberos certificate into the system keychain.
