Apache Kerberos Authentication

Purpose

To allow users to authenticate using seamless SSO via kerberos.

MultiRealm Authentication

In this case I want to authenticate more than one realm (two domains). After following the common instructions online I was unable to log in using the second realm. The first realm logged in without issue.

NOTE 1 : This is a messy post as I have worked on this for several days and am trying to record what I did before I forget.
NOTE 2 : I am not sure if all of this is necessary, but I wanted to track everything I did regardless

Environment

• Domains

Domain1.tld
Domain2.tld

• web server

intranet.tld

krb5.conf

The server I am using was enrolled in domain1 using sssd and the "realm join" command many a year ago. We will be editing the krb5.conf file that was created during this process.

 DOMAIN1.TLD = {

 }

 DOIMAIN2.TLD = {
kdc = domain2.tld
admin_server = domain2.tld

 }


[domain_realm]

# example.com = EXAMPLE.COM
 domain1.tld = DOMAIN1.TLD
 .domain1.tld = DOMAIN1.TLD
 domain2.tld = DOMAIN2.TLD
 .domain2.tld = DOMAIN2.TLD

[capaths]
	DOMAIN1.TLD = {
		DOMAIN2.TLD = .
	}
	DOMAIN2.TLD = {
		DOMAIN1.TLD = .
	}

VHOST Config

Here I tried using the principle from the keytab, but for some reason the kvno kept getting logged as 3 instead of 6. So for now I told Apache to use any service name. Need to research security risks related to this. Also I might need to keep it at ANY if I can not specify more than one principal.
