Add support for GSS-API pre-authentication to the KDC, using a simplified
variation of draft-perez-krb-wg-gss-preauth-02 that encodes GSS-API context
tokens directly in PADATA, and uses FX-COOKIE for state management.
More information on the protocol and implementation may be found in
lib/gssapi/preauth/README.md.
In preparation for adding support for TPM attestations as an authentication
method in bx509d for a host trust bootstrap mechanism based on TPMs and their
endorsement keys and endorsement key certificates.
The plan is to add support to libhx509 and hxtool for PermanentIdentifier
(RFC4043) and HardwareModuleName (RFC4108) SANs, and then to add a query
parameter to bx509d for passing an attestation and a proof-of-possession
(either CMS or CSR), and add an authorizer plugin call for authorizing a device
manufacturer and serial number to hostname. Support for TPMs w/o endorsement
key certificates should also be possible based on a digest of the endorsement
key as the "serial number".
Add support for SAnon, a simple key agreement protocol that provides no
authentication of initiator or acceptor using x25519 ECDH key exchange.
See doc/standardization/draft-howard-gss-sanon-xx.txt for a protocol
description.
An implementation of draft-zhu-negoex-04 for MIT Kerberos was developed in
2011. This has been recently integrated, with many fixes from Greg Hudson. This
commit ports it to Heimdal. The implementation has been interoperability tested
with MIT Kerberos and Windows, using the GSS EAP mechanism developed as part of
the Moonshot project.
The SPNEGO code was also updated to import the state machine from Apple which
improves mechListMIC processing and avoids discarding initial context tokens
generated during mechanism probing, that can be used for optimistic tokens.
Finally, to aid in testing, the GSS-API mechanism glue configuration file can
be changed using the environment variable GSS_MECH_CONFIG. This environment
variable name, along with the format of the configuration file, is compatible
with MIT (although it would be difficult for a single mechanism binary to
support both implementations).
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
