Digital SIA
-----------
To install the SIA module you will have to do the following:
* Make sure `libsia_krb4.so' is available in `/usr/athena/lib'. If
`/usr/athena' is not on local disk, you might want to put it in
`/usr/shlib' or someplace else. If you do, you'll have to edit
`krb4_matrix.conf' to reflect the new location (you will also have
to do this if you installed in some other directory than
`/usr/athena'). If you built with shared libraries, you will have
to copy the shared `libkrb.so', `libdes.so', `libkadm.so', and
`libkafs.so' to a place where the loader can find them (such as
`/usr/shlib').
* Copy (your possibly edited) `krb4_matrix.conf' to `/etc/sia'.
* Apply `security.patch' to `/sbin/init.d/security'.
* Turn on KRB4 security by issuing `rcmgr set SECURITY KRB4' and
`rcmgr set KRB4_MATRIX_CONF krb4_matrix.conf'.
* Digital thinks you should reboot your machine, but that really
shouldn't be necessary. It's usually sufficient just to run
`/sbin/init.d/security start' (and restart any applications that
use SIA, like `xdm'.)
Users with local passwords (like `root') should be able to login safely.
When using Digital's xdm the `KRBTKFILE' environment variable isn't
passed along as it should (since xdm zaps the environment). Instead you
have to set `KRBTKFILE' to the correct value in
`/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession'. Add a line similar to
KRBTKFILE=/tmp/tkt`id -u`_`ps -o ppid= -p $$`; export KRBTKFILE
If you use CDE, `dtlogin' allows you to specify which additional
environment variables it should export. To add `KRBTKFILE' to this
list, edit `/usr/dt/config/Xconfig', and look for the definition of
`exportList'. You want to add something like:
Dtlogin.exportList: KRBTKFILE
Notes to users with Enhanced security
.....................................
Digital's `ENHANCED' (C2) security, and Kerberos solves two different
problems. C2 deals with local security, adds better control of who can
do what, auditing, and similar things. Kerberos deals with network
security.
To make C2 security work with Kerberos you will have to do the
following.
* Replace all occurencies of `krb4_matrix.conf' with
`krb4+c2_matrix.conf' in the directions above.
* You must enable "vouching" in the `default' database. This will
make the OSFC2 module trust other SIA modules, so you can login
without giving your C2 password. To do this use `edauth' to edit
the default entry `/usr/tcb/bin/edauth -dd default', and add a
`d_accept_alternate_vouching' capability, if not already present.
* For each user that does _not_ have a local C2 password, you should
set the password expiration field to zero. You can do this for each
user, or in the `default' table. To do this use `edauth' to set
(or change) the `u_exp' capability to `u_exp#0'.
* You also need to be aware that the shipped `login', `rcp', and
`rshd', doesn't do any particular C2 magic (such as checking to
various forms of disabled accounts), so if you rely on those
features, you shouldn't use those programs. If you configure with
`--enable-osfc2', these programs will, however, set the login UID.
Still: use at your own risk.
At present `su' does not accept the vouching flag, so it will not work
as expected.
Also, kerberised ftp will not work with C2 passwords. You can solve this
by using both Digital's ftpd and our on different ports.
*Remember*, if you do these changes you will get a system that most
certainly does _not_ fulfill the requirements of a C2 system. If C2 is
what you want, for instance if someone else is forcing you to use it,
you're out of luck. If you use enhanced security because you want a
system that is more secure than it would otherwise be, you probably got
an even more secure system. Passwords will not be sent in the clear,
for instance.
