# NFSv4 with Kerberos on Debian from scratch
|
|
|
|
This document will (hopefully) allow you to setup a kerberized NFSv4 server on Debian 11/Ubuntu 22.04.

## Introduction
|
|
### dd
|
|
If you share some files between your machines, your choice was probably [SMB/CIFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block),
|
|
as it is supported on nearly any platform (GNU/Linux, MacOS, Windows, iOS, Android,
|
|
...).
|
|
|
|
However, there are some limitations that you may find unacceptable: the loss of uid/gid/permissions and the lack of symbolic/hard links for `SMB`.
|
|
|
|
Another option (at least on GNU/Linux) could be [SSHFS](https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs): It is simple to use,
|
|
and requires no special settings but an ssh access to server. It could be the
|
|
ideal sharing system for many people.
|
|
|
|
What I dislike here is the need for an `ssh` access. No, I don't plan to give an ssh access to **my** servers ;-)
|
|
|
|
This document is about a third solution : NFSv4 coupled with Kerberos
|
|
security, on a [[https://www.debian.org/][Debian]] based system (Debian, [[https://ubuntu.com/][Ubuntu]], etc...).
|
|
|
|
* Pre-requisites
|
|
- NTP :: All machines (clients and servers) must be time-synchronized, as Kerberos authentication is partly based on tickets timestamps.
|
|
- DNS server (optional) :: Kerberos may, in some configurations make use of some DNS records such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record][SRV]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TXT_record][TXT]].
|
|
A lightweight DNS server like [[https://dnsmasq.org/][dnsmasq]] is sufficient, and will avoid the administration of a full-fledged server such as [[https://www.isc.org/bind/][bind]].
|
|
|
|
* Kerberos (V5)
|
|
There are basically two major implementations of [[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4120][Kerberos v5]] on GNU/Linux: The original [[http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/][MIT]] one, and the [[https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal][Heimdal]] one. There was also a GNU implementation ([[http://www.gnu.org/software/shishi/][Shishi]]), but developement looks stalled for 10+ years.
|
|
|
|
It appears that the MIT implementation may have some [[https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/index.html][export restrictions]] due to U.S. regulation. Heimdal implementation (explicitely developed outside the USA, in Sweden) does not suffer such limitations. We will therefore use the "/un-regulated/" implementation.
|
|
|
|
** Naming
|
|
We will use the following conventions :
|
|
#+CAPTION: Table 1: Local names
|
|
| Name | Value | Comment |
|
|
|-----------------------+-----------------+---------------------------------|
|
|
| Kerberos realm | =LAN= | Always capital |
|
|
| Local DNS name | =lan= | Typical hostname: machine.lan |
|
|
| Kerberos KDC 1 | =kdc1.lan= | Primary Key Distribution Center |
|
|
| Kerberos KDC 2 | =kdc2.lan= | Secondary KDC |
|
|
| Kerberos admin server | =kadmin.lan= | Administrative server |
|
|
| Kerberos client 1 | =kclient1.lan= | Test client 1 |
|
|
| Kerberos client 2 | =kclient2.lan= | Test client 2 |
|
|
| Kerberos credentials | =krb5/password= | Kerberos admin login/password |
|
|
|
|
** Packages installation
|
|
On server side, install the necessary packages with :
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
|
$ sudo apt install krb5-config heimdal-kdc heimdal-servers heimdal-clients heimdal-kcm
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
And on client(s), install the following :
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install krb5-config heimdal-clients
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
On your desktop, you may also want to install some documentation with:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install heimdal-docs
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
The above package does not include "real" heimdal docs, I did not find it on Ubuntu 22.04 repositories. I managed to install full html documentation with :
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
|
git clone https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal.git
|
|
cd heimdal
|
|
autoreconf -f -i
|
|
sh autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make html
|
|
cd doc/heimdal.html
|
|
sudo cp -ar heimdal.html /usr/share/doc/heimdal-docs/
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
The ~krb5-config~ package installation will ask you some questions, just fill with the information from Table 1 :
|
|
- Default Kerberos version 5 realm: ~LAN~
|
|
- Kerberos servers for your realm: ~kdc1.lan kdc2.lan~
|
|
- Administrative server for your Kerberos realm: ~kadmin.lan~
|
|
|
|
After this initial configutation, ~/etc/krb5.conf~ should contain something like :
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
|
|
[libdefaults]
|
|
default_realm = LAN
|
|
kdc_timesync = true
|
|
forwardable = true
|
|
proxiable = true
|
|
|
|
[realms]
|
|
LAN = {
|
|
kdc = kdc1.lan
|
|
kdc = kdc2.lan
|
|
admin_server = kadmin.lan
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
[domain_realm]
|
|
lan = LAN
|
|
.lan = LAN
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** test
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
|
|
[libdefaults]
|
|
default_realm = LAN
|
|
[realms]
|
|
LAN = {
|
|
kdc = kdc1.lan
|
|
kdc = kdc2.lan
|
|
admin_server = kadmin.lan
|
|
}
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
