= Configuring CentOS 6 for SSH and Kerberos = ==== Get the krb5.conf ==== CentOS has the Kerberos tools installed by default. So no need to install those. First we'll need the krb5.conf configuration file. We probably don't need the whole configuration prepared by the CS, but it doesn't hurt to have it around either. Let's steal the file from hulk (sorry, you'll still have to login with a password): {{{ sudo scp your_cs_id@hulk:/etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf }}} If you are running as root, you can omit the ''sudo'' prefix. ==== Install AFS tools ==== In order to use the Kerberos credentials to access the AFS file system, we need to install some AFS tools. But first, add a repository with the packages of those tools: {{{ sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/openafs.repo }}} Copy the following lines to /etc/yum.repos.d/openafs.repo: {{{ [openafs] name=OpenAFS 1.6.1 for RHEL $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.6.1/rhel-$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-OPENAFS priority=10 }}} Now install the openafs-krb5 package: {{{ sudo yum install openafs-krb5 }}} And finally, create a configuration file for the AFS tools: {{{ sudo mkdir /usr/vice sudo mkdir /usr/vice/etc sudo vim /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell }}} Copy the following line into file ''!ThisCell'': {{{ cs.stanford.edu }}} ==== Configure the SSH client ==== Open the SSH client configuration file: {{{ sudo vim /etc/ssh/ssh_config }}} And make sure that the following is set: {{{ Host * GSSAPIAuthentication yes GSSAPIDelegateCredentials yes GSSAPIKeyExchange yes }}}
