KASERVERAUXDB(5)	      AFS File Reference	      KASERVERAUXDB(5)

NAME
       kaserverauxdb - Records failed authentication attempts

DESCRIPTION
       The file kaserverauxdb records failed authentication attempts for the
       local Authentication Server. The server creates it automatically in the
       /usr/afs/local directory by default; use the -localfiles argument to
       the kaserver command to specify an alternate directory.

       The kaserverauxdb file is an internal database used by the
       Authentication Server to prevent access by users who have exceeded the
       limit on failed authentication attempts defined in their Authentication
       Database entry. The Authentication Server refuses further attempts to
       authenticate to an account listed in the database until either an AFS
       system administrator issues the kas unlock command to unlock the
       account, or the timeout period defined in the user's Authentication
       Database entry passes.

       The kaserverauxdb file is in binary format, so its contents are not
       directly accessible. However, the output from the kas examine command
       reports an account's maximum number of failed attempts, the lockout
       time, and whether the account is currently locked.

CAUTIONS
       The Authentication Server is obsolete and is provided only for sites
       that need to use it while preparing for a migration to Kerberos KDC. It
       will be removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
