Kerberos V5 is an authentication system developed at MIT.
WWW: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/
Abridged from the User Guide:
Under Kerberos, a client sends a request for a ticket to the
Key Distribution Center (KDC). The KDC creates a ticket-granting
ticket (TGT) for the client, encrypts it using the client's
password as the key, and sends the encrypted TGT back to the
client. The client then attempts to decrypt the TGT, using
its password. If the client successfully decrypts the TGT, it
keeps the decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's
identity. The TGT permits the client to obtain additional tickets,
which give permission for specific services.
Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted,
communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it
provides a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a
firewall either client is on.
The Kerberos V5 package is designed to be easy to use. Most of the
commands are nearly identical to UNIX network programs you are already
used to. Kerberos V5 is a single-sign-on system, which means that you
have to type your password only once per session, and Kerberos does
the authenticating and encrypting transparently.

Provide a script from which to start krb5kdc through /etc/rc.d/kdc.
Simply add kdc_enable="YES" and kdc_program="/usr/local/sbin/kdc"
to /etc/rc.d. The script removes the Heimdal kdc --detach argument
prior to invoking krb5kdc.
The other approach that was considered was to replace getopt() in
kdc/main.c with getopt_long() however this approach was considered too
intrusive.
Welcome the new KRB5 1.17 (krb5-117).
Major changes in 1.17 (2019-01-08)
==================================
Administrator experience:
* A new Kerberos database module using the Lightning Memory-Mapped
Database library (LMDB) has been added. The LMDB KDB module should
be more performant and more robust than the DB2 module, and may
become the default module for new databases in a future release.
* "kdb5_util dump" will no longer dump policy entries when specific
principal names are requested.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Update 1.15.4 --> 1.15.5
Major changes in 1.15.5 (2019-01-07)
====================================
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix a regression in the MEMORY credential cache type which could
cause client programs to crash.
* MEMORY credential caches will not be listed in the global
collection, with the exception of the default credential cache if it
is of type MEMORY.
* Remove an incorrect assertion in the KDC which could be used to
cause a crash [CVE-2018-20217].

While working the ports fallout due to making Hemidal in base
private it was discovered that com_err.3, though distributed in
the tarball, was not installed. Install it.
Revert r472760 and instead use upstream git commit
beeb2828945a41d86488e391ce440bacee0ec committed to the krb5
development branch Saturday, June 16. The upstream commit
message follows:
Author: Thomas Sondergaard <tsondergaard@vitalimages.com>
Date: Sat Jun 16 18:14:50 2018 +0200
Eliminate use of the 'register' keyword
'register' is a reserved and unused keyword in C++17 so having it
present in the public headers presents a a compatibility issue. Also
in C the 'register' keyword is mostly obsolete, so remove all uses of
it.
[ghudson@mit.edu: adjusted style of some of the affected lines]
While working on the ports fallout due to the private Heimdal in base
project, a port (www/squid-devel) was discovered to be grumpy due to
numerous errors such as below:
/usr/local/include/krb5/krb5.h:3566:19: error: 'register' storage class
specifier is deprecated and incompatible with C++17
[-Werror,-Wdeprecated-register]
register char **name);
^~~~~~~~~
The "register" keyword is meaningless and can cause grief among ports
that build against any of the krb5 ports.
Update 1.15.2 --> 1.15.3
Major changes in 1.15.3 (2018-05-03)
====================================
This is a bug fix release.
* Fix flaws in LDAP DN checking, including a null dereference KDC
crash which could be triggered by kadmin clients with administrative
privileges [CVE-2018-5729, CVE-2018-5730].
* Fix a KDC PKINIT memory leak.
* Fix a small KDC memory leak on transited or authdata errors when
processing TGS requests.
* Fix a null dereference when the KDC sends a large TGS reply.
* Fix "kdestroy -A" with the KCM credential cache type.
* Fix the handling of capaths "." values.
* Fix handling of repeated subsection specifications in profile files
(such as when multiple included files specify relations in the same
subsection).
Reconcile e2fsprogs ./. krb5-* conflicts.
* Move conflicting e2fsprogs headers & libs into .../e2fsprogs/... subdirs.
* Move conflicting awk scripts into ${DATADIR}.
* Rename and patch compile_et to e2fsprogs-compile_et.
* Remove conflict markers (from e2fsprogs and krb5-*).
* Add CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS to sysutils/fusefs-ext2, including
--rpath setting.
While here, also:
* sort pkg-plist and files/unwanted
* use FUSEFS_CONFIGURE_ENABLE=fuse2fs to prevent e2fsprogs from picking up
fusefs (implies --disable-fuse2fs if the option remains disabled)
* add --without-included-gettext to CONFIGURE_ARGS just to be on the safe
side.
And of course, bump PORTREVISION to 3 in e2fsprogs. Since other ports
do not change files or runtime behaviour, their PORTREVISION remains
untouched.
New READLINE_PORT option to select to use readline in base or
readline in ports.

Remove redundant message about Kerberos klogind and telnetd. These
programs ere moved to krb5-appl (by MIT) when krb5-appl was created
in r253265. This message should have been removed from this Makefile
at that time.
Pointy hat to: cy (that's me)
Welcome the new security/krb5-115 port. This port follows MIT's
KRB5 1.15 releases.
To support this new ports:
- The security/krb5 port includes an option to use this port instead
of krb5-114 as its base. krb5-114 will remain the default until the
next release of KRB5 1.15 (if it's stable of course).
- MIT by default deprecates KRB5 two versions back from the current
release. krb5-113 has been deprecated and will expire one year from
now.
