During my debuggingsessions while trying to make mod_auth_kerb and Windows KDC work I needed to have closer looks into the Kerberos keytabfiles, but nowhere found any common information. So here come my (incomplete) results that helped me debugging the setupprocess of mod_auth_kerb.
The table shows the bytepositions of keytabfilecontent
Please let me know if you can add more informations to that table!
| principalname and other stuff | keytype | keylenghth | key |
|---|---|---|---|
| ... | 2 | 2 | field keylenght(8) |
In case of mod_auth_kerb and Windows KDC DES-CBC-MD5 is the only possible value here! | length of key (8 in this case) | the key |
