NAME

kimpersonate —
impersonate a user when there exist a keyfile or KeyFile

SYNOPSIS

kimpersonate [-s string | --ccache=string] [-s string | --server=string] [-c string | --client=string] [-k string | --keytab=string] [-5 | --krb5] [-A | --add] [-R | --referral] [-e integer | --expire-time=integer] [-a string | --client-address=string] [-t string | --enc-type=string] [--session-enc-type=string] [-f string | --ticket-flags=string] [--verbose] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

The kimpersonate program creates a "fake" ticket using the service-key of the service and stores it in the given (or default) ccache. This is useful for testing. The service key can be read from a Kerberos 5 keytab or AFS KeyFile. Supported options:
--ccache=string
ccache into which to store the ticket
string, --server=string
name of server principal
string, --client=string
name of client principal
string, --keytab=string
name of keytab file
, --krb5
create a Kerberos 5 ticket
, --add
don't re-initialize the ccache, instead add the ticket to an existing ccache.
, --referral
simulate a referrals-based KDC client by storing two entries, one with the empty realm for the service principal name.
integer, --expire-time=integer
lifetime of ticket in seconds
string, --client-address=string
address of client
string, --enc-type=string
encryption type (defaults to "aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96")
--session-enc-type=string
session encryption type (defaults to enc-type or "des-cbc-crc" for afs service tickets)
string, --ticket-flags=string
ticket flags for krb5 ticket
--verbose
Verbose output
--version
Print version
--help
 

FILES

Uses /etc/krb5.keytab, and /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile when available and the -k option is used with an appropriate prefix.

EXAMPLES

kimpersonate can be used in samba root preexec option or for debugging. kimpersonate -s host/hummel.e.kth.se@E.KTH.SE -c lha@E.KTH.SE -5 will create a Kerberos 5 ticket for lha@E.KTH.SE for the host hummel.e.kth.se if there exists a keytab entry for it in /etc/krb5.keytab.

In combination with the ktutil command, this is useful for testing. For example,

ktutil -k tkt add -p host/foo.test@TEST -V2 -e aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 -r

kimpersonate --cache=tcc -s host/foo.test@TEST -c jdoe@TEST -k tkt --referral
