<span id="id1"></span><h2>Trace logging<a class="headerlink" href="#trace-logging" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Most programs using MIT krb5 1.9 or later can be made to provide
information about internal krb5 library operations using trace
logging. To enable this, set the <strong>KRB5_TRACE</strong> environment variable
to a filename before running the program. On many operating systems,
the filename <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/dev/stdout</span></tt> can be used to send trace logging output
to standard output.</p>
<p>Some programs do not honor <strong>KRB5_TRACE</strong>, either because they use
secure library contexts (this generally applies to setuid programs and
parts of the login system) or because they take direct control of the
trace logging system using the API.</p>
<p>Here is a short example showing trace logging output for an invocation
of the <a class="reference internal" href="../user/user_commands/kvno.html#kvno-1"><em>kvno</em></a> command:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>shell% env KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stdout kvno krbtgt/KRBTEST.COM

</div>
<p>This most commonly happens when trying to use a principal with only
DES keys, in a release (MIT krb5 1.7 or later) which disables DES by
default. DES encryption is considered weak due to its inadequate key
size. If you cannot migrate away from its use, you can re-enable DES
by adding <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">allow_weak_crypto</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">true</span></tt> to the <a class="reference internal" href="conf_files/krb5_conf.html#libdefaults"><em>[libdefaults]</em></a>
section of <a class="reference internal" href="conf_files/krb5_conf.html#krb5-conf-5"><em>krb5.conf</em></a>.</p>

<div class="admonition error">
<p class="first admonition-title">Error</p>
<p class="last">Cannot create cert chain: certificate has expired</p>
</div>
<p>This error message indicates that PKINIT authentication failed because
the client certificate, KDC certificate, or one of the certificates in
the signing chain above them has expired.</p>
<p>If the KDC certificate has expired, this message appears in the KDC
log file, and the client will receive a “Preauthentication failed”
error. (Prior to release 1.11, the KDC log file message erroneously
appears as “Out of memory”. Prior to release 1.12, the client will
receive a “Generic error”.)</p>
<p>If the client or a signing certificate has expired, this message may
appear in <a class="reference internal" href="#trace-logging">trace_logging</a> output from <a class="reference internal" href="../user/user_commands/kinit.html#kinit-1"><em>kinit</em></a> or, starting in
release 1.12, as an error message from kinit or another program which
gets initial tickets. The error message is more likely to appear
properly on the client if the principal entry has no long-term keys.</p>

<p>If the slave is intended to run kpropd out of inetd, make sure that
inetd is configured to accept krb5_prop connections. inetd may need
to be restarted or sent a SIGHUP to recognize the new configuration.

that it is running.</p>
