[jira] [Commented] (DIRKRB-20) Encrypt user keys with server master key

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-20?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15010147#comment-15010147 ] 

Xu Yaning commented on DIRKRB-20:
---------------------------------

User's key should be encrypted with server master key before stored in the backend. One problem is that master's is also stored in the backend. To get its own key, master has to decrypt  the encrypted key with its key. That's contradictory. Maybe we can store master's key in memory?

> User keys are currently stored in the DIT as plaintext keys, for example, in the krb5key.  These keys should be encrypted with the server master key.  The server master key should be stored in the Eve system partition.
