We have a CSR authorizer plugin for calling to an IPC service.
In this commit we add test implementation of such a service.
We also remove the simple_csr_authorizer plugin and fold its
functionality into the new test_csr_authorizer functionality.
This adds support for using a Heimdal-specific PKIX extension to derive
a maximum Kerberos ticket lifetime from a client's PKINIT certificate.
KDC configuration parameters:
- pkinit_max_life_from_cert_extension
- pkinit_max_life_bound
If `pkinit_max_life_from_cert_extension` is set to true then the
certificate extension or EKU will be checked.
If `pkinit_max_life_bound` is set to a positive relative time, then that
will be the upper bound of maximum Kerberos ticket lifetime derived from
these extensions.
The KDC config `pkinit_ticket_max_life_from_cert` that was added earlier
has been renamed to `pkinit_max_life_from_cert`.
See lib/hx509 and lib/krb5/krb5.conf.5.
This adds a KDC configuration parameter that can be used to indicate
that a PKINIT client's certificate's notAfter overrides the client
principal's HDB entry's max_life. This parameter is a relative time
parameter, and it enables this only if set to a non-zero value (defaults
to zero). The value of this parameter caps the max_life inferred from
the certificate.
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
