Class MiniKdc

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.minikdc.MiniKdc

public class MiniKdc
extends Object

Mini KDC based on Apache Directory Server that can be embedded in testcases or used from command line as a standalone KDC.

From within testcases:

MiniKdc sets 2 System properties when started and un-sets them when stopped:

• java.security.krb5.conf: set to the MiniKDC real/host/port
• sun.security.krb5.debug: set to the debug value provided in the configuration

Because of this, multiple MiniKdc instances cannot be started in parallel. For example, running testcases in parallel that start a KDC each. To accomplish this a single MiniKdc should be used for all testcases running in parallel.

MiniKdc default configuration values are:

• org.name=EXAMPLE (used to create the REALM)
• org.domain=COM (used to create the REALM)
• kdc.bind.address=localhost
• kdc.port=0 (ephemeral port)
• instance=DefaultKrbServer
• max.ticket.lifetime=86400000 (1 day)
• max.renewable.lifetime=604800000 (7 days)
• transport=TCP
• debug=false

The generated krb5.conf forces TCP connections.
