+
+GSS-TSIG Overview
+-----------------
+
+Kea provides support for DNS updates, which can be protected using
+Transaction Signatures (or TSIG). This protection is often adequate.
+However, some systems, in particular Active Directory (AD) on Microsoft
+Windows servers, have chosen to adopt a more complex GSS-TSIG approach that offers
+additional capabilities, such as using negotiated dynamic keys.
+
+Kea supports GSS-TSIG to protect DNS updates sent by
+the Kea DHCP-DDNS (D2) server in a premium hook, called ``gss_tsig``.
+
+GSS-TSIG is defined in `RFC 3645 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3645>`__.
+The GSS-TSIG protocol itself is an implementation of generic GSS-API v2
+services, defined in `RFC 2743 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2743>`__.
+
+Many protocols are involved in this mechanism:
+
+ - Kerberos 5 - `RFC 4120 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4120>`__, which
+ provides the security framework;
+ - GSS-API (Generic Security Services Application Program Interface) -
+ `RFC 2743 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2743>`__ for the API,
+ `RFC 2744 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2743>`__ for the C bindings, and
+ `RFC 4121 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4121>`__ for the application
+ to Kerberos 5;
+ - SPNEGO (Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism) -
+ `RFC 4178 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4178>`__ for the negotiation;
+ - DNS update `RFC 2136 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2136>`__;
+ - TSIG (Secret Key Transaction Authentication for DNS) -
+ `RFC 8945 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8945>`__, which
+ protects DNS exchanges;
+ - Secure Domain Name System (DNS) Dynamic Update -
+ `RFC 3007 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3007>`__, which is the
+ application of TSIG to DNS update protection;
+ - TKEY (Secret Key Establishment for DNS) -
+ `RFC 2930 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2930>`__, which establishes
+ secret keys for TSIG by transmitting crypto payloads between DNS
+ parties; and
+ - GSS-TSIG - `RFC 3645 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3645>`__, which
+ is the application of GSS-API to TSIG.
+
+To summarize, GSS-API for Kerberos 5 with SPNEGO and TKEY are used to
+negotiate a security context between the Kea D2 server and a DNS server:
+
+.. figure:: ../uml/tkey.*
+
+The security context is then used by GSS-TSIG to protect updates:
+
+.. figure:: ../uml/update.*
+
+The Kea implementation of GSS-TSIG uses a GSS-API for Kerberos 5 with
+the SPNEGO library. Two implementations meet this criteria: MIT Kerberos
+5 and Heimdal.
+
+.. _gss-tsig-install:
+
+GSS-TSIG Compilation
+--------------------
+
+The following procedure was tested on Ubuntu 20.10 and 21.04. A similar
+approach can be applied to other systems.
+
+1. Obtain the Kea sources and premium packages, extract the Kea sources,
+ and then extract the premium packages into the ``premium/`` directory within the Kea
+ source tree.
+
+2. Run autoreconf:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ autoreconf -i
+
+3. Make sure ``./configure --help`` shows the ``--with-gssapi`` option.
+
+4. Install either the MIT (``libkrb5-dev``) or the Heimdal (``heimdal-dev``) library,
+ for instance:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo apt install libkrb5-dev
+
+5. Run ``configure`` with the ``--with-gssapi`` option:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./configure --with-gssapi
+
+.. note:
+
+ It is ``--with-gssapi`` (with no dash between "gss" and "api"), to maintain
+ consistency with the BIND 9 option.
+
+The ``--with-gssapi`` parameter requires the ``krb5-config`` tool to be present. This
+tool is provided by both MIT Kerberos 5 and Heimdal; however, on some systems
+where both Kerberos 5 and Heimdal are installed, it is a symbolic link
+to one of them. If the tool is not in the standard location, it can be specified
+with ``--with-gssapi=/path/to/krb5-config``. It is strongly recommended
+to use the default installation locations provided by the packages.
+
+The ``./configure`` script should complete with a successful GSS-API
+detection, similar to this:
+
+::
+
+ GSS-API support:
+ GSSAPI_CFLAGS: -isystem /usr/include/mit-krb5
+ GSSAPI_LIBS: -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mit-krb5 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
+
+6. Compile ``make -jX``, where X is the number of CPU cores
+ available.
+
+7. After compilation, the ``gss_tsig`` hook is available in the
+ ``premium/src/hooks/d2/gss_tsig`` directory. It can be loaded by
+ the Kea DHCP-DDNS (D2) daemon.
+
+The ``gss_tsig`` hook library was developed using the MIT Kerberos 5 implementation, but
+Heimdal is also supported. Note that Heimdal is picky about
+security-sensitive file permissions and is known to emit an unclear error message.
+It is a good idea to keep these files plain, with one link and no
+access for the group or other users.
+
+The ``krb5-config`` script should provide an ``--all`` option which
+identifies the implementation.
+
+.. _gss-tsig-deployment:
+
+GSS-TSIG Deployment
+-------------------
+
+Before using GSS-TSIG, a GSS-TSIG capable DNS server, such as BIND 9
+or Microsoft Active Directory (AD), must be deployed. Other
+GSS-TSIG capable implementations may work, but have not been tested.
+
+Kerberos 5 Setup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two kinds of key tables (keytab files): the system one used
+by servers, and client tables used by clients. For Kerberos 5, Kea is a
+**client**.
+
+Install the Kerberos 5 client library and ``kadmin`` tool:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo apt install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server
+
+The following examples use the ``EXAMPLE.ORG`` realm to demonstrate required
+configuration steps and settings.
+
+The Kerberos 5 client library must be configured to accept incoming requests
+for the realm ``EXAMPLE.ORG`` by updating the ``krb5.conf`` file
+(e.g. on Linux: /etc/krb5.conf):
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [libdefaults]
+ default_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG
+ kdc_timesync = 1
+ ccache_type = 4
+ forwardable = true
+ proxiable = true
+
+ [realms]
+ EXAMPLE.ORG = {
+ kdc = kdc.example.org
+ admin_server = kdc.example.org
+ }
+
+In addition to the ``krb5.conf`` file, the ``kdc.conf`` file can be used
+(e.g. on Linux: /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf):
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [kdcdefaults]
+ kdc_ports = 750,88
+
+ [realms]
+ EXAMPLE.ORG = {
+ database_name = /var/lib/krb5kdc/principal
+ admin_keytab = FILE:/etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
+ acl_file = /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
+ key_stash_file = /etc/krb5kdc/stash
+ kdc_ports = 750,88
+ max_life = 10h 0m 0s
+ max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s
+ master_key_type = des3-hmac-sha1
+ #supported_enctypes = aes256-cts:normal aes128-cts:normal
+ default_principal_flags = +preauth
+ }
+
+The ``kadmind`` daemon Access Control List (ACL) must be configured to give
+permissions to the DNS client principal to access the Kerberos 5 database
+(e.g. on Linux: /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl):
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ DHCP/admin.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG *
+
+The administrator password for the default realm must be set:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ krb5_newrealm
+
+After the following message is displayed, enter
+the password for the default realm:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ This script should be run on the master KDC/admin server to initialize
+ a Kerberos realm. It will ask you to type in a master key password.
+ This password will be used to generate a key that is stored in
+ /etc/krb5kdc/stash. You should try to remember this password, but it
+ is much more important that it be a strong password than that it be
+ remembered. However, if you lose the password and /etc/krb5kdc/stash,
+ you cannot decrypt your Kerberos database.
+ Loading random data
+ Initializing database '/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal' for realm 'EXAMPLE.ORG',
+ master key name 'K/M@EXAMPLE.ORG'
+ You will be prompted for the database Master Password.
+ It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.
+ Enter KDC database master key:
+
+Then retype the password:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:
+
+If successfully applied, the following message is displayed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ Now that your realm is set up you may wish to create an administrative
+ principal using the addprinc subcommand of the kadmin.local program.
+ Then, this principal can be added to /etc/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl so that
+ you can use the kadmin program on other computers. Kerberos admin
+ principals usually belong to a single user and end in /admin. For
+ example, if jruser is a Kerberos administrator, then in addition to
+ the normal jruser principal, a jruser/admin principal should be
+ created.
+
+ Don't forget to set up DNS information so your clients can find your
+ KDC and admin servers. Doing so is documented in the administration
+ guide.
+
+The next step is to create the principals for the BIND 9 DNS server
+(the service protected by the GSS-TSIG TKEY) and for the DNS client
+(the Kea DHCP-DDNS server).
+
+The BIND 9 DNS server principal (used for authentication) is created the
+following way:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kadmin.local -q "addprinc -randkey DNS/server.example.org"
+
+If successfully created, the following message is displayed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ No policy specified for DNS/server.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG; defaulting to no policy
+ Authenticating as principal root/admin@EXAMPLE.ORG with password.
+ Principal "DNS/server.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG" created.
+
+The DNS server principal must be exported so that it can be used by the BIND 9
+DNS server. Only this principal is required, and it is exported to the keytab
+file with the name ``dns.keytab``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kadmin.local -q "ktadd -k /tmp/dns.keytab DNS/server.example.org"
+
+If successfully exported, the following message is displayed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ Authenticating as principal root/admin@EXAMPLE.ORG with password.
+ Entry for principal DNS/server.example.org with kvno 2, encryption type aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 added to keytab WRFILE:/tmp/dns.keytab.
+ Entry for principal DNS/server.example.org with kvno 2, encryption type aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 added to keytab WRFILE:/tmp/dns.keytab.
+
+The DHCP client principal (used by the Kea DHCP-DDNS server) is created the
+following way:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kadmin.local -q "addprinc -randkey DHCP/admin.example.org"
+
+If successfully created, the following message is displayed:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ No policy specified for DHCP/admin.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG; defaulting to no policy
+ Authenticating as principal root/admin@EXAMPLE.ORG with password.
+ Principal "DHCP/admin.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG" created.
+
+The DHCP client principal must be exported so that it can be used by the
+Kea DHCP-DDNS server and the GSS-TSIG hook library. It is exported to the client
+keytab file with the name ``dhcp.keytab``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kadmin.local -q "ktadd -k /tmp/dhcp.keytab DHCP/admin.example.org"
+
+Finally, the ``krb5-admin-server`` must be restarted:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ systemctl restart krb5-admin-server.service
+
+BIND 9 with GSS-TSIG Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The BIND 9 DNS server must be configured to use GSS-TSIG, and to use the
+previously exported DNS server principal from the keytab file ``dns.keytab``.
+Updating the ``named.conf`` file is required:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ options {
+ ...
+ directory "/var/cache/bind";
+ dnssec-validation auto;
+ listen-on-v6 { any; };
+ tkey-gssapi-keytab "/etc/bind/dns.keytab";
+ };
+ zone "example.org" {
+ type master;
+ file "/var/lib/bind/db.example.org";
+ update-policy {
+ grant "DHCP/admin.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG" zonesub any;
+ };
+ };
+ zone "84.102.10.in-addr.arpa" {
+ type master;
+ file "/etc/bind/db.10";
+ };
+
+The zone files should have an entry for the server principal FQDN
+``server.example.org``.
+
+The ``/etc/bind/db.10`` file needs to be created or updated:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ;
+ ; BIND reverse data file for local loopback interface
+ ;
+ $TTL 604800 ; 1 week
+ @ IN SOA server.example.org. root.example.org. (
+ 2 ; Serial
+ 604800 ; Refresh
+ 86400 ; Retry
+ 2419200 ; Expire
+ 604800 ; Negative Cache TTL
+ )
+ ;
+ @ IN NS ns.
+ 40 IN PTR ns.example.org.
+
+The ``/var/lib/bind/db.example.org`` file needs to be created or updated:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ORIGIN .
+ $TTL 604800 ; 1 week
+ example.org IN SOA server.example.org. root.example.org. (
+ 8 ; serial
+ 604800 ; refresh (1 week)
+ 86400 ; retry (1 day)
+ 2419200 ; expire (4 weeks)
+ 604800 ; minimum (1 week)
+ )
+ NS example.org.
+ A ${BIND9_IP_ADDR}
+ AAAA ::1
+ $ORIGIN example.org.
+ kdc A ${KDC_IP_ADDR}
+ server A ${BIND9_IP_ADDR}
+
+After any configuration change the server must be reloaded or
+restarted:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ systemctl restart named.service
+
+It is possible to get the status or restart the logs:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ systemctl status named.service
+ journalctl -u named | tail -n 30
+
+Windows Active Directory Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This sub-section is based on an Amazon AWS provided Microsoft Windows Server
+2016 with Active Directory pre-installed, so it describes only the steps used
+for GSS-TSIG deployment. (For the complete configuration process, please refer to
+Microsoft's documentation or other external resources. We found `this <https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/51456-windows-server-2016-setup-local-domain-controller.html>`__ tutorial very
+useful during configuration of our internal QA testing systems.)
+
+Two Active Directory (AD) user accounts are needed:
+ - the first account is used to download AD information, such as
+ the client key table of Kea
+ - the second account is mapped to the Kea DHCP client principal
+
+Kea needs to know:
+ - the server IP address
+ - the domain/realm name: the domain is in lower case, the realm in upper
+ case, both without a final dot
+ - the server name
+
+The second account (named ``kea`` below) is used to create a Service
+Principal Name (SPN):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ setspn -S DHCP/kea.<domain> kea
+
+After a shared secret key is generated and put in a key table file:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ktpass -princ DHCP/kea.<domain>@<REALM> -mapuser kea +rndpass -mapop set -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -out dhcp.keytab
+
+The ``dhcp.keytab`` takes the same usage as for UNIX Kerberos.
+
+GSS-TSIG Troubleshooting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While testing GSS-TSIG integration with Active Directory we came across
+one very cryptic error:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ INFO [kea-dhcp-ddns.gss-tsig-hooks/4678.139690935890624] GSS_TSIG_VERIFY_FAILED GSS-TSIG verify failed: gss_verify_mic failed with GSSAPI error:
+ Major = 'A token had an invalid Message Integrity Check (MIC)' (393216), Minor = 'Packet was replayed in wrong direction' (100002).
+
+In our case, the problem was that the Kea D2 server was trying to perform an update of a reverse
+DNS zone while it was not configured. An easy solution is to add a reverse DNS
+zone similar to the one configured in Kea. To do that, open the "DNS Manager" and choose
+"DNS" from the list; from the dropdown list, choose "Reverse Lookup Zones"; then
+click "Action" and "New Zone"; finally, follow the New Zone Wizard to add a new zone.
+
+The standard requires both anti-replay and sequence services. Experiences with the BIND 9 nsupdate
+showed the sequence service led to problems so it is disabled by default in the hook. It seems
+the anti-replay service can also lead to problems with Microsoft DNS servers so it is now
+configurable. Note that these security services are useless for DNS dynamic update which was
+designed to run over UDP so with out of order and duplicated messages.
+
+.. _gss-tsig-using:
+
+Using GSS-TSIG
+--------------
+
+There are a number of steps required to enable the GSS-TSIG mechanism:
+
+1. The ``gss_tsig`` hook library must be loaded by the D2 server.
+2. The GSS-TSIG-capable DNS servers must be specified with their parameters.
+
+An excerpt from a D2 server configuration is provided below; more examples are available in the
+``doc/examples/ddns`` directory in the Kea sources.
+

+ }
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+ ]
+
+ // Additional parameters, such as logging, control socket and
+ // others omitted for clarity.
+ }
+
+ }
+
+This configuration file contains a number of extra elements.
+
+First, a list of forward and/or reverse domains with related DNS servers
+identified by their IP+port pairs is defined. If the port is not
+specified, the default of 53 is assumed. This is similar to basic mode, with no
+authentication done using TSIG keys, with the
+exception that static TSIG keys are not referenced by name.
+
+Second, the ``libddns_gss_tsig.so`` library must be specified on the
+``hooks-libraries`` list. This hook takes many parameters. The most important
+one is ``servers``, which is a list of GSS-TSIG-capable servers. If there are
+several servers and they share some characteristics, the values can be specified
+in the ``parameters`` scope as defaults. In the example above, the defaults that apply
+to all servers, unless otherwise specified on a per-server scope, are defined in
+lines 63 through 68. The defaults can be skipped if there is only one server
+defined, or if all servers have different values.

+
+The global parameters are described below:
+
+- ``client-keytab`` specifies the Kerberos **client** key table.
+ For instance, ``FILE:<filename>`` can be used to point to a specific file.
+ This parameter can be specified only once, in the parameters scope,
+ and is the equivalent of setting the ``KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME`` environment
+ variable. An empty value is silently ignored.
+
+- ``credentials-cache`` specifies the Kerberos credentials cache.
+ For instance, ``FILE:<filename>`` can be used to point to a file or,
+ if using a directory which supports more than one principal,
+ ``DIR:<directory-path>``.
+ This parameter can be specified only once, in the parameters scope,
+ and is the equivalent of setting the ``KRB5CCNAME`` environment
+ variable. An empty value is silently ignored.
+
+- ``server-principal`` is the Kerberos principal name of the DNS
+ server that receives updates. In other words, this is the
+ DNS server's name in the Kerberos system. This parameter is
+ mandatory, and uses the typical Kerberos notation:
+ ``<SERVICE-NAME>/<server-domain-name>@<REALM>``.
+
+- ``client-principal`` is the Kerberos principal name of the Kea D2
+ service. It is optional, and uses the typical Kerberos notation:
+ ``<SERVICE-NAME>/<server-domain-name>@<REALM>``.
+
+- ``gss-replay-flag`` determines if the GSS anti replay service is
+ required. It is by default but this can be disabled.
+
+- ``gss-sequence-flag`` determines if the GSS sequence service is
+ required. It is not by default but is required by the standard
+ so it can be enabled.
+
+- ``tkey-protocol`` determines which protocol is used to establish the
+ security context with the DNS servers. Currently, the only supported
+ values are TCP (the default) and UDP.
+
+- ``tkey-lifetime`` determines the lifetime of GSS-TSIG keys in the
+ TKEY protocol. The value must be greater than the ``rekey-interval``
+ value. It is expressed in seconds and defaults to 3600 (one hour).
+
+- ``rekey-interval`` governs the time interval at which the keys for each configured
+ server are checked for rekeying, i.e. when a new key is created to replace the
+ current usable one if its age is greater than the ``rekey-interval`` value.
+ The value must be smaller than the ``tkey-lifetime`` value (it is recommended
+ to be set between 50% and 80% of the ``tkey-lifetime`` value). It is expressed in
+ seconds and defaults to 2700 (45 minutes, or 75% of one hour).
+
+- ``retry-interval`` governs the time interval at which to retry to create a key if any
+ error occurred previously for any configured server. The value must be smaller
+ than the ``rekey-interval`` value, and should be at most 1/3 of the difference
+ between ``tkey-lifetime`` and ``rekey-interval``. It is expressed in seconds
+ and defaults to 120 (2 minutes).
+
+- ``fallback`` governs the behavior when GSS-TSIG should be used (a
+ matching DNS server is configured) but no GSS-TSIG key is available.
+ If set to ``false`` (the default), this server is skipped; if
+ set to ``true``, the DNS server is ignored and the DNS update
+ is sent with the configured DHCP-DDNS protection (e.g. TSIG key), or
+ without any protection when none was configured.
+
+- ``exchange-timeout`` governs the amount of time to wait for the GSS-TSIG TKEY
+ exchange to finish before the process times out. It is expressed in milliseconds and
+ defaults to 3000 (3 seconds).
+
+- ``user-context`` is an optional parameter (see :ref:`user-context`
+ for a general description of user contexts in Kea).
+
+- ``comment`` is allowed but currently ignored.
+
+- ``servers`` specifies the list of DNS servers where GSS-TSIG is enabled.
+
+The server map parameters are described below:
+
+- ``id`` assigns an identifier to a DNS server. It is used for statistics
+ and commands. It is required, and must be both not empty and unique.
+
+- ``domain-names`` governs the many-to-one relationship between D2 DNS
+ servers and GSS-TSIG DNS servers: for each domain name on this list,
+ Kea looks for a D2 DNS server for this domain with the specified IP address
+ and port. An empty list (the default) means that all domains
+ match.
+
+- ``ip-address`` specifies the IP address at which the GSS-TSIG DNS server
+ listens for DDNS and TKEY requests. It is a mandatory parameter.
+
+- ``port`` specifies the DNS transport port on which the GSS-TSIG DNS server
+ listens for DDNS and TKEY requests. It defaults to 53.
+
+- ``server-principal`` is the Kerberos principal name of the DNS server
+ that receives updates. The ``server-principal`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. It is a mandatory parameter which must be specified at
+ either the global or the server level.
+
+- ``client-principal`` is the Kerberos principal name of the Kea D2
+ service for this DNS server. The ``client-principal`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. It is an optional parameter.
+
+- ``gss-replay-flag`` determines if the GSS anti replay service is
+ required. The ``gss-replay-flag`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. It is an optional parameter
+ which defaults to true.
+
+- ``gss-sequence-flag`` determines if the GSS sequence service is
+ required. The ``gss-sequence-flag`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. It is an optional parameter
+ which defaults to false.
+
+- ``tkey-protocol`` determines which protocol is used to establish the
+ security context with the DNS server. The ``tkey-protocol`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. The default and supported values
+ for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter.
+
+- ``tkey-lifetime`` determines the lifetime of GSS-TSIG keys in the
+ TKEY protocol for the DNS server. The ``tkey-lifetime`` parameter set at the per-server
+ level takes precedence over one set at the global level. The default and supported values
+ for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter.
+
+- ``rekey-interval`` governs the time interval at which the keys for this particular
+ server are checked for rekeying, i.e. when a new key is created to replace the
+ current usable one if its age is greater than the ``rekey-interval`` value.
+ The value must be smaller than the ``tkey-lifetime`` value (it is recommended
+ to be set between 50% and 80% of the ``tkey-lifetime`` value). The ``rekey-interval``
+ parameter set at the per-server level takes precedence over one set at the global
+ level. The default and supported values for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter.
+
+- ``retry-interval`` governs the time interval at which to retry to create a key if any
+ error occurred previously for this particular server. The value must be
+ smaller than the ``rekey-interval`` value, and should be at most 1/3 of the
+ difference between ``tkey-lifetime`` and ``rekey-interval``. The
+ ``retry-interval`` parameter set at the per-server level takes precedence over one set at the global
+ level. The default and supported values for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter.
+
+- ``fallback`` governs the behavior when GSS-TSIG should be used (a
+ matching DNS server is configured) but no GSS-TSIG key is available.
+ The ``fallback`` parameter set at the per-server level takes precedence over one set at the global
+ level. The default and supported values for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter..
+
+- ``exchange-timeout`` governs the amount of time to wait for the GSS-TSIG TKEY
+ exchange to finish before the process times out. The ``exchange-timeout`` parameter
+ set at the per-server level takes precedence over one set at the global
+ level. The default and supported values for the per-server level parameter are the same as
+ for the global-level parameter.
+
+- ``user-context`` is an optional parameter (see :ref:`user-context`
+ for a general description of user contexts in Kea).
+
+- ``comment`` is allowed but currently ignored.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Generally it is not recommended to specify both the client keytab (``client-keytab``)
+ and the credentials cache (``credentials-cache``), although this may
+ differ between Kerberos implementations. The client keytab is just for
+ the client key and is typically used to specify the key explicitly in more
+ static manner, while the credentials cache can be used to store multiple
+ credentials and can be dynamically updated by the Kerberos library. As such,
+ the credentials-cache is more flexible and thus the recommended alternative.
+
+ Also note that only the read access right is needed to use the cache.
+ Fetching credentials and updating the cache requires the write access
+ right.
+
+
+GSS-TSIG Automatic Key Removal
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The server periodically deletes keys after they have been expired more than three times the
+length of the maximum key lifetime (the ``tkey-lifetime`` parameter).
+The user has the option to purge keys on demand by using the ``gss-tsig-purge-all``
+command (see :ref:`command-gss-tsig-purge-all`) or the ``gss-tsig-purge`` command
+(see :ref:`command-gss-tsig-purge`).
+
+
+GSS-TSIG Configuration for Deployment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using Kerberos 5 and BIND 9 as described in :ref:`gss-tsig-deployment`,
+the local resolver must point to the BIND 9 ``named`` server address. The
+local Kerberos must also be configured by putting the following text into the ``krb5.conf`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [libdefaults]
+ default_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG
+ kdc_timesync = 1
+ ccache_type = 4
+ forwardable = true
+ proxiable = true
+ [realms]
+ EXAMPLE.ORG = {
+ kdc = kdc.example.org
+ admin_server = kdc.example.org
+ }
+
+With Windows AD, the DNS service is provided by AD, which also provides
+the Kerberos service. The required text in the ``krb5.conf`` file becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [libdefaults]
+ default_realm = <REALM>
+ kdc_timesync = 1
+ ccache_type = 4
+ forwardable = true
+ proxiable = true
+ [realms]
+ ${REALM} = {
+ kdc = <AD_IP_ADDR>
+ admin_server = <AD_IP_ADDR>
+ }
+
+Even when the GSS-API library can use the secret from the client key
+table, it is far better for performance to get and cache credentials.
+
+This can be done manually via the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kinit -k -t /tmp/dhcp.keytab DHCP/admin.example.org
+
+or, when using AD:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ kinit -k -t /tmp/dhcp.keytab DHCP/kea.<domain>
+
+The credential cache can be displayed using ``klist``.
+
+In production, it is better to rely on a Kerberos Credential Manager as
+the System Security Services Daemon (``sssd``).
+
+When using BIND 9, the server principal is in the form "DNS/server.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG¨;
+with AD, the format is "DNS/<server>.<domain>@<REALM>".
+
+.. _stats-gss-tsig:
+
+GSS-TSIG Statistics
+-------------------
+
+The GSS-TSIG hook library introduces new statistics at global and
+per-DNS-server levels:
+
+- ``gss-tsig-key-created`` - the number of created GSS-TSIG keys
+- ``tkey-sent`` - the number of sent TKEY exchange initial requests
+- ``tkey-success`` - the number of TKEY exchanges which completed with a success
+- ``tkey-timeout`` - the number of TKEY exchanges which completed on timeout
+- ``tkey-error`` - the number of TKEY exchanges which completed with an error other than
+ a timeout
+
+The relationship between keys and DNS servers is very different between
+the D2 code and static TSIG keys, and GSS-TSIG keys and DNS servers:
+
+ - a static TSIG key can be shared between many DNS servers;
+ - a GSS-TSIG key is only used by one DNS server inside a dedicated
+ set of keys.
+
+.. _commands-gss-tsig:
