KDC Installation

With the boring planning out of the way, we’re ready to get down to the nitty-gritty of installing a KDC. We’ll cover each implementation in turn, and I’ll take you through building the software, all the way to setting up test users and distributing the Kerberos database among a network of slave KDCs.

This section covers the topics required to set up the KDC software. It does not cover related topics, such as security of the underlying operating system; these security-related topics can be found in Chapter 6.
