Abstract
|
|
|
|
.in 3
|
|
This document specifies the address types and transport types
|
|
necessary for using Kerberos [RFC1510] over IPv6 [RFC1883].
|

|
Specification
|
|
|
|
.in 3
|
|
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit (16-octet) quantities, encoded in MSB
|
|
order. The type of IPv6 addresses is twenty-four (24).
|
|
|
|
The following addresses (see [RFC1884]) MUST not appear in any
|
|
Kerberos packet:
|
|
|
|
the Unspecified Address
|
|
.br
|
|
the Loopback Address
|
|
.br
|
|
Link-Local addresses
|
|
|
|
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses MUST be represented as addresses of type 2.
|
|
|
|
Communication with the KDC over IPv6 MUST be done as in section
|
|
8.2.1 of [RFC1510].

Discussion
|
|
|
|
.in 3
|
|
[RFC1510] suggests using the address family constants in
|
|
<sys/socket.h> from BSD. This cannot be done for IPv6 as these
|
|
numbers have diverged and are different on different BSD-derived
|
|
systems. [RFC2133] does not either specify a value for AF_INET6.
|
|
Thus a value has to be decided and the implementations have to convert
|
|
between the value used in Kerberos HostAddress and the local AF_INET6.
|
|
|
|
There are a few different address types in IPv6, see [RFC1884]. Some
|
|
of these are used for quite special purposes and it makes no sense to
|
|
include them in Kerberos packets.
|
|
|
|
It is necessary to represent IPv4-mapped addresses as Internet
|
|
addresses (type 2) to be compatible with Kerberos implementations that
|
|
only support IPv4.
