We introduced a notion of soft vs. hard aliases in the previous commit
(hdb: Distinguish soft and hard principal aliases).
This commit corrects existing test cases and adds new test cases.
Soft aliases allow for the configuration of referrals using HDB entries.
Hard aliases are like copies of the aliased HDB entries. These are
useful for renaming principals (and realms).
See the preceding commit.
This is a large commit that adds several features:
- Revamps and moves virtual host-based service principal functionality
from kdc/ to lib/hdb/ so that it may be automatically visible to
lib/kadm5/, as well as kadmin(1)/kadmind(8) and ktutil(1).
The changes are backwards-incompatible.
- Completes support for documenting a service principal's supported
enctypes in its HDB entry independently of its long-term keys. This
will reduce HDB bloat by not requiring that service principals have
more long-term keys than they need just to document the service's
supported enctypes.
- Adds support for storing krb5.conf content in principals' HDB
entries. This may eventually be used for causing Heimdal KDC
services to reconfigure primary/secondary roles automatically by
discovering the configured primary in an HDB entry for the realm.
For now this will be used to help reduce the amount of configuration
needed by clients of an upcoming HTTP binding of the kadmin service.
This commit adds support for kx509 in libkrb5, and revamps the KDC's
kx509 service (fixing bugs, adding features).
Of note is that kx509 is attempted optimistically by the client, with
the certificate and private key stored in the ccache, and optionally in
an external PEM or DER file.
NOTE: We do not optimistically use kx509 in krb5_cc_store_cred() if the
ccache is a MEMORY ccache so we don't generate a key when
accepting a GSS context with a delegated credential.
kx509 protocol issues to be fixed in an upcoming commit:
- no proof of possession (this is mostly not too bad, but we'll want to
fix it by using CSRs)
- no algorithm agility (only plain RSA is supported)
- very limited (no way to request any options in regards to the
requested cert)
- error codes are not very useful
Things we're adding in this commit:
- libkrb5 kx509 client
- automatic kx509 usage hooked in via krb5_cc_store_cred() of start TGT
- per-realm templates on the KDC side
- per-realm issuer certificates
- send error messages on the KDC side
(this is essential to avoid client-side timeouts on error)
- authenticate as many error messages
- add a protocol probe feature so we can avoid generating a
keypair if the service is not enabled
(once we add support for ECC algorithms we won't need this
anymore; the issue is that RSA keygen is slow)
- support for different types of client principals, not just username:
- host-based service and domain-based service, each with its own
template set per-{realm, service} or per-service
(the idea is to support issuance of server certificates too, not
just client/user certs)
- more complete support for SAN types
- tests (including that PKINIT->kx509->PKINIT works, which makes it
possible to have "delegation" of PKIX credentials by just delegating
Kerberos credentials)
- document the protocol in lib/krb5/kx509.c
Future work:
- add option for longer-ticket-lifetime service certs
- add support for ECDSA, and some day for ed25519 and ed448
- reuse private key when running kinit
(this will require rethinking how we trigger optimistic kx509
usage)
- HDB lookup for:
- optional revocation check (not strictly necessary)
- adding to certificates those SANs listed in HDB
- hostname aliases (dNSName SANs)
- rfc822Name (email)
- XMPP SANs
- id-pkinit-san (a user could have aliases too)
- support username wild-card A RRs, ala OSKT/krb5_admin
i.e., if a host/f.q.d.n principal asks for a certificate for
some service at some-label.f.q.d.n, then issue it
(this is not needed at OSKT sites because OSKT already
supports keying such service principals, which means kx509
will issue certificates for them, however, it would be nice
to be able to have this independent of OSKT)
(a better way to do this would be to integrate more of OSKT
into Heimdal proper)
- a kx509 command, or heimtools kx509 subcommand for explicitly
attempting use of the kx509 protocol (as opposed to implicit, as is
done in kinit via krb5_cc_store_cred() magic right now)
Issues:
- optimistically trying kx509 on start realm TGT store -> timeout issues!
- newer KDCs will return errors because of this commit; older ones
will not, which causes timouts
- need a separate timeout setting for kx509 for optimistic case
- need a [realm] config item and DNS SRV RR lookup for whether a
realm is expected to support kx509 service
Put kdc last in tests/Makefile.am. There's two tests in tests/kdc
that have been failing for a long time, and that causes the
remaining tests to not be run. By putting kdc last those tests do
run.
