1. Introduction
The Kerberos network authentication protocol is a trusted-third-party
protocol utilizing symmetric-key cryptography. It assumes that all
communications between parties in the protocol may be arbitrarily
tampered with or monitored, and that the security of the overall
system depends only on the effectiveness of the cryptographic
techniques and the secrecy of the cryptographic keys used. The
Kerberos protocol authenticates an application client's identity to
an application server, and likewise authenticates the application
server's identity to the application client. These assurances are
made possible by the client and the server sharing secrets with the
trusted third party: the Kerberos server, also known as the Key
Distribution Center (KDC). In addition, the protocol establishes an
ephemeral shared secret (the session key) between the client and the
server, allowing the protection of further communications between
them.
The Kerberos protocol, as originally specified, provides insufficient
means for extending the protocol in a backwards-compatible way. This
deficiency has caused problems for interoperability. This document
describes a framework which enables backwards-compatible extensions
to the Kerberos protocol.
1.1. Kerberos Protocol Overview
Kerberos comprises three main sub-protocols: credentials acquisition,
session key exchange, and session key usage. A client acquires
credentials by asking the KDC for a credential for a service; the KDC
issues the credential, which contains a ticket and a session key.
The ticket, containing the client's identity, timestamps, expiration
time, and a session key, is a encrypted in a key known to the
application server. The KDC encrypts the credential using a key
known to the client, and transmits the credential to the client.
There are two means of requesting credentials: the Authentication
Service (AS) exchange, and the Ticket-Granting Service (TGS)
exchange. In the typical AS exchange, a client uses a password-
derived key to decrypt the response. In the TGS exchange, the KDC
behaves as an application server; the client authenticates to the TGS
by using a Ticket-Granting Ticket (TGT). The client usually obtains
the TGT by using the AS exchange.
Session key exchange consists of the client transmitting the ticket
to the application server, accompanied by an authenticator. The
authenticator contains a timestamp and additional data encrypted
using the ticket's session key. The application server decrypts the
ticket, extracting the session key. The application server then uses
the session key to decrypt the authenticator. Upon successful
decryption of the authenticator, the application server knows that
the data in the authenticator were sent by the client named in the
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
associated ticket. Additionally, since authenticators expire more
quickly than tickets, the application server has some assurance that
the transaction is not a replay. The application server may send an
encrypted acknowledgment to the client, verifying its identity to the
client.
Once session key exchange has occurred, the client and server may use
the established session key to protect further traffic. This
protection may consist of protection of integrity only, or of
protection of confidentiality and integrity. Additional measures
exist for a client to securely forward credentials to a server.
The entire scheme depends on loosely synchronized clocks.
Synchronization of the clock on the KDC with the application server
clock allows the application server to accurately determine whether a
credential is expired. Likewise, synchronization of the clock on the
client with the application server clock prevents replay attacks
utilizing the same credential. Careful design of the application
protocol may allow replay prevention without requiring client-server
clock synchronization.
After establishing a session key, application client and the
application server can exchange Kerberos protocol messages that use
the session key to protect the integrity or confidentiality of
communications between the client and the server. Additionally, the
client may forward credentials to the application server.
The credentials acquisition protocol takes place over specific,
defined transports (UDP and TCP). Application protocols define which
transport to use for the session key establishment protocol and for
messages using the session key; the application may choose to perform
its own encapsulation of the Kerberos messages, for example.
1.2. Document Organization
The remainder of this document begins by describing the general
frameworks for protocol extensibility, including whether to interpret
unknown extensions as critical. It then defines the protocol
messages and exchanges.
The definition of the Kerberos protocol uses Abstract Syntax Notation
One (ASN.1) [X680], which specifies notation for describing the
abstract content of protocol messages. This document defines a
number of base types using ASN.1; these base types subsequently
appear in multiple types which define actual protocol messages.
Definitions of principal names and of tickets, which are central to
the protocol, also appear preceding the protocol message definitions.

2. Compatibility Considerations
2.1. Extensibility
In the past, significant interoperability problems have resulted from
conflicting assumptions about how the Kerberos protocol can be
extended. As the deployed base of Kerberos grows, the ability to
extend the Kerberos protocol becomes more important. In order to
ensure that vendors and the IETF can extend the protocol while
maintaining backwards compatibility, this document outlines a
framework for extending Kerberos.
Kerberos provides two general mechanisms for protocol extensibility.
Many protocol messages, including some defined in RFC 1510, contain
typed holes--sub-messages containing an octet string along with an
integer that identifies how to interpret the octet string. The
integer identifiers are registered centrally, but can be used both
for vendor extensions and for extensions standardized in the IETF.
This document adds typed holes to a number of messages which
previously lacked typed holes.
Many new messages defined in this document also contain ASN.1
extension markers. These markers allow future revisions of this
document to add additional elements to messages, for cases where
typed holes are inadequate for some reason. Because tag numbers and
position in a sequence need to be coordinated in order to maintain
interoperability, implementations MUST NOT include ASN.1 extensions
except when those extensions are specified by IETF standards-track
documents.
2.2. Compatibility with RFC 1510
Implementations of RFC 1510 did not use extensible ASN.1 types.
Sending additional fields not in RFC 1510 to these implementations
results in undefined behavior. Examples of this behavior are known
to include discarding messages with no error indications.
Where messages have been changed since RFC 1510, ASN.1 CHOICE types
are used; one alternative of the CHOICE provides a message which is
wire-encoding compatible with RFC 1510, and the other alternative
provides the new, extensible message.
Implementations sending new messages MUST ensure that the recipient
supports these new messages. Along with each extensible message is a
guideline for when that message MAY be used. IF that guideline is
followed, then the recipient is guaranteed to understand the message.
2.3. Backwards Compatibility
This document describes two sets (for the most part) of ASN.1 types.
The first set of types is wire-encoding compatible with RFC 1510 and
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
[KCLAR]. The second set of types is the set of types enabling
extensibility. This second set may be referred to as
"extensibility-enabled types". [ need to make this consistent
throughout? ]
A major difference between the new extensibility-enabled types and
the types for RFC 1510 compatibility is that the extensibility-
enabled types allow for the use of UTF-8 encodings in various
character strings in the protocol. Each party in the protocol must
have some knowledge of the capabilities of the other parties in the
protocol. There are methods for establishing this knowledge without
necessarily requiring explicit configuration.
An extensibility-enabled client can detect whether a KDC supports the
extensibility-enabled types by requesting an extensibility-enabled
reply. If the KDC replies with an extensibility-enabled reply, the
client knows that the KDC supports extensibility. If the KDC issues
an extensibility-enabled ticket, the client knows that the service
named in the ticket is extensibility-enabled.
2.4. 1.4.2. Sending Extensible Messages
Care must be taken to make sure that old implementations can
understand messages sent to them even if they do not understand an
extension that is used. Unless the sender knows the extension is
supported, the extension cannot change the semantics of the core
message or previously defined extensions.
For example, an extension including key information necessary to
decrypt the encrypted part of a KDC-REP could only be used in
situations where the recipient was known to support the extension.
Thus when designing such extensions it is important to provide a way
for the recipient to notify the sender of support for the extension.
For example in the case of an extension that changes the KDC-REP
reply key, the client could indicate support for the extension by
including a padata element in the AS-REQ sequence. The KDC should
only use the extension if this padata element is present in the AS-
REQ. Even if policy requires the use of the extension, it is better
to return an error indicating that the extension is required than to
use the extension when the recipient may not support it; debugging
why implementations do not interoperate is easier when errors are
returned.
2.5. Criticality
Recipients of unknown message extensions (including typed holes, new
flags, and ASN.1 extension elements) should preserve the encoding of
the extension but otherwise ignore the presence of the extension;
i.e., unknown extensions SHOULD be treated as non-critical. If a
copy of the message is used later--for example, when a Ticket
received in a KDC-REP is later used in an AP-REQ--then the unknown
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
extensions MUST be included.
An implementation SHOULD NOT reject a request merely because it does
not understand some element of the request. As a related
consequence, implementations SHOULD handle communicating with other
implementations which do not implement some requested options. This
may require designers of options to provide means to determine
whether an option has been rejected, not understood, or (perhaps
maliciously) deleted or modified in transit.
There is one exception to non-criticality described above: if an
unknown authorization data element is received by a server either in
an AP-REQ or in a Ticket contained in an AP-REQ, then the
authentication SHOULD fail. Authorization data is intended to
restrict the use of a ticket. If the service cannot determine
whether the restriction applies to that service then a security
weakness may result if authentication succeeds. Authorization
elements meant to be truly optional can be enclosed in the AD-IF-
RELEVANT element.
Many RFC 1510 implementations ignore unknown authorization data
elements. Depending on these implementations to honor authorization
data restrictions may create a security weakness.
2.6. Authenticating Cleartext Portions of Messages
Various denial of service attacks and downgrade attacks against
Kerberos are possible unless plaintexts are somehow protected against
modification. An early design goal of Kerberos Version 5 was to
avoid encrypting more of the authentication exchange that was
required. (Version 4 doubly-encrypted the encrypted part of a ticket
in a KDC reply, for example.) This minimization of encryption
reduces the load on the KDC and busy servers. Also, during the
initial design of Version 5, the existence of legal restrictions on
the export of cryptography made it desirable to minimize of the
number of uses of encryption in the protocol. Unfortunately,
performing this minimization created numerous instances of
unauthenticated security-relevant plaintext fields.
The extensible variants of the messages described in this document
wrap the actual message in an ASN.1 sequence containing a keyed
checksum of the contents of the message. Guidelines in [XXX] section
3 specify when the checksum MUST be included and what key MUST be
used. Guidelines on when to include a checksum are never ambiguous:
a particular PDU is never correct both with and without a checksum.
With the exception of the KRB-ERROR message, receiving
implementations MUST reject messages where a checksum is included and
not expected or where a checksum is expected but not included. The
receiving implementation does not always have sufficient information
to know whether a KRB-ERROR should contain a checksum. Even so,
KRB-ERROR messages with invalid checksums MUST be rejected and
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
implementations MAY consider the presence or absence of a checksum
when evaluating whether to trust the error.
This authenticated cleartext protection is provided only in the
extensible variants of the messages; it is never used when
communicating with an RFC 1510 implementation.
2.7. Capability Negotiation
Kerberos is a three-party protocol. Each of the three parties
involved needs a means of detecting the capabilities supported by the
others. Two of the parties, the KDC and the application server, do
not communicate directly in the Kerberos protocol. Communicating
capabilities from the KDC to the application server requires using a
ticket as an intermediary.
The main capability requiring negotiation is the support of the
extensibility framework described in this document. Negotiation of
this capability while remaining compatible with RFC 1510
implementations is possible. The main complication is that the
client needs to know whether the application server supports the
extensibility framework prior to sending any message to the
application server. This can be accomplished if the KDC has
knowledge of whether an application server supports the extensibility
framework.
Client software advertizes its capabilities when requesting
credentials from the KDC. If the KDC recognizes the capabilities, it
acknowledges this fact to the client in its reply. In addition, if
the KDC has knowledge that the application server supports certain
capabilities, it also communicates this knowledge to the client in
its reply. The KDC can encode its own capabilities in the ticket so
that the application server may discover these capabilities. The
client advertizes its capabilities to the application server when it
initiates authentication to the application server.
3. Use of ASN.1 in Kerberos
Kerberos uses the ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X690].
Even though ASN.1 theoretically allows the description of protocol
messages to be independent of the encoding rules used to encode the
messages, Kerberos messages MUST be encoded with DER. Subtleties in
the semantics of the notation, such as whether tags carry any
semantic content to the application, may cause the use of other ASN.1
encoding rules to be problematic.
Implementors not using existing ASN.1 tools (e.g., compilers or
support libraries) are cautioned to thoroughly read and understand
the actual ASN.1 specification to ensure correct implementation
behavior. There is more complexity in the notation than is
immediately obvious, and some tutorials and guides to ASN.1 are
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
misleading or erroneous. Recommended tutorials and guides include
[Dub00], [Lar99], though there is still no substitute for reading the
actual ASN.1 specification.
3.1. Module Header
The type definitions in this document assume an ASN.1 module
definition of the following form:
KerberosV5Spec3 {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1)
security(5) kerberosV5(2) modules(4) krb5spec3(4)
} DEFINITIONS EXPLICIT TAGS ::= BEGIN
-- Rest of definitions here
END
This specifies that the tagging context for the module will be
explicit and that automatic tagging is not done.
Some other publications [RFC1510] [RFC1964] erroneously specify an
object identifier (OID) having an incorrect value of "5" for the
"dod" component of the OID. In the case of RFC 1964, use of the
"correct" OID value would result in a change in the wire protocol;
therefore, the RFC 1964 OID remains unchanged for now.
3.2. Top-Level Type
The ASN.1 type "KRB-PDU" is a CHOICE over all the types (Protocol
Data Units or PDUs) which an application may directly reference.
Applications SHOULD NOT transmit any types other than those which are
alternatives of the KRB-PDU CHOICE.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004

-- Applications should not directly reference any types
-- other than KRB-PDU and its component types.

krb-safe KRB-SAFE,
krb-priv KRB-PRIV,
krb-cred KRB-CRED,
tgt-req TGT-REQ,
krb-error KRB-ERROR,
...
}
3.3. Previously Unused ASN.1 Notation (informative)
Some aspects of ASN.1 notation used in this document were not used in
[KCLAR], and may be unfamiliar to some readers. This subsection is
informative; for normative definitions of the notation, see the
actual ASN.1 specifications [X680], [X682], [X683].
3.3.1. Parameterized Types
This document uses ASN.1 parameterized types [X683] to make
definitions of types more readable. For some types, some or all of
the parameters are advisory, i.e., they are not encoded in any form
for transmission in a protocol message. These advisory parameters
can describe implementation behavior associated with the type.
3.3.2. COMPONENTS OF Notation
The "COMPONENTS OF" notation, used to define the RFC 1510
compatibility types, extracts all of the component types of an ASN.1
SEQUENCE type. The extension marker (the "..." notation) and any
extension components are not extracted by "COMPONENTS OF". The
"COMPONENTS OF" notation permits concise definition of multiple types
which have many components in common with each other.
3.3.3. Constraints
This document uses ASN.1 constraints, including the
"UserDefinedConstraint" notation [X682]. Some constraints can be
handled automatically by tools that can parse them. Uses of the
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
"UserDefinedConstraint" notation (the "CONSTRAINED BY" notation) will
typically need to have behavior manually coded; the notation provides
a formalized way of conveying intended implementation behavior.
The "WITH COMPONENTS" constraint notation allows constraints to apply
to component types of a SEQUENCE type. This constraint notation
effectively allows constraints to "reach into" a type to constrain
its component types.
3.4. New Types
This document defines a number of ASN.1 types which are new since
[KCLAR]. The names of these types will typically have a suffix like
"Ext", indicating that the types are intended to support
extensibility. Types original to RFC 1510 and [KCLAR] have been
renamed to have a suffix like "1510". The "Ext" and "1510" types
often contain a number of common elements; these common elements have
a suffix like "Common". The "1510" types have various ASN.1
constraints applied to them; the constraints limit the possible
values of the "1510" types to those permitted by RFC 1510 or by
[KCLAR]. The "Ext" types may have different constraints, typically
to force string values to be sent as UTF-8.
For example, consider
-- example "common" type
Foo-Common ::= SEQUENCE {
a [0] INTEGER,
b [1] OCTET STRING,
...,
c [2] INTEGER,
...
}
-- example "RFC 1510 compatibility" type
Foo-1510 ::= SEQUENCE {
-- the COMPONENTS OF notation drops the extension marker
-- and all extension additions.
COMPONENTS OF Foo-Common
}
-- example "extensibility-enabled" type
Foo-Ext ::= Foo-Common
where "Foo-Common" is a common type used to define both the "1510"
and "Ext" versions of a type. "Foo-1510" is the RFC 1510 version of
the type, while "Foo-Ext" is the extensible version. "Foo-1510" does
not contain the extension marker, nor does it contain the extension
component "c". The type "Foo-1510" is equivalent to "Foo-1510-
Equiv", shown below.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
-- example type equivalent to Foo-1510
Foo-1510-Equiv ::= SEQUENCE {
a [0] INTEGER,
b [1] OCTET STRING
}
4. Basic Types
These "basic" Kerberos ASN.1 types appear in multiple other Kerberos
types.
4.1. Constrained Integer Types
In RFC 1510, many types contained references to the unconstrained
INTEGER type. Since an unconstrained INTEGER can contain almost any
possible abstract integer value, most of the unconstrained references
to INTEGER in RFC 1510 were constrained to 32 bits or smaller in
[KCLAR].
-- signed values representable in 32 bits
--
-- These are often used as assigned numbers for various things.
Int32 ::= INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647)
The "Int32" type often contains an assigned number identifying the
contents of a typed hole. Unless otherwise stated, non-negative
values are registered, and negative values are available for local
use.
-- unsigned 32 bit values
UInt32 ::= INTEGER (0..4294967295)
The "UInt32" type is used in some places where an unsigned 32-bit
integer is needed.
-- unsigned 64 bit values
UInt64 ::= INTEGER (0..18446744073709551615)
The "UInt64" type is used in places where 32 bits of precision may
provide inadequate security.
-- sequence numbers
SeqNum ::= UInt64
Sequence numbers were constrained to 32 bits in [KCLAR], but this
document allows for 64-bit sequence numbers.
-- nonces
Nonce ::= UInt64
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
Likewise, nonces were constrained to 32 bits in [KCLAR], but expanded
to 64 bits here.
-- microseconds
Microseconds ::= INTEGER (0..999999)
The "microseconds" type is intended to carry the microseconds part of
a time value.
4.2. KerberosTime
KerberosTime ::= GeneralizedTime (CONSTRAINED BY {
-- MUST NOT include fractional seconds
})
The timestamps used in Kerberos are encoded as GeneralizedTimes. A
KerberosTime value MUST NOT include any fractional portions of the
seconds. As required by the DER, it further MUST NOT include any
separators, and it specifies the UTC time zone (Z). Example: The
only valid format for UTC time 6 minutes, 27 seconds after 9 pm on 6
November 1985 is "19851106210627Z".
4.3. KerberosString
-- used for names and for error messages
KerberosString ::= CHOICE {
ia5 GeneralString (IA5String),
utf8 UTF8String,
... -- no extension may be sent
-- to an rfc1510 implementation --
}
The KerberosString type is used for character strings in various
places in the Kerberos protocol. For compatibility with RFC 1510,
GeneralString values constrained to IA5String (US-ASCII) are
permitted in messages exchanged with RFC 1510 implementations. The
new protocol messages contain strings encoded as UTF-8, and these
strings MUST be normalized using [SASLPREP]. KerberosString values
are present in principal names and in error messages. Control
characters SHOULD NOT be used in principal names, and used with
caution in error messages.
-- IA5 choice only; useful for constraints
KerberosStringIA5 ::= KerberosString
(WITH COMPONENTS { ia5 PRESENT })
-- IA5 excluded; useful for constraints
KerberosStringExt ::= KerberosString
(WITH COMPONENTS { ia5 ABSENT })
KerberosStringIA5 requires the use of the "ia5" alternative, while
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
KerberosStringExt forbids it. These types appear in ASN.1
constraints on messages.
For detailed background regarding the history of character string use
in Kerberos, as well as discussion of some compatibility issues, see
Appendix B.
4.4. Language Tags
-- used for language tags
LangTag ::= PrintableString
(FROM ("A".."Z" | "a".."z" | "0".."9" | "-"))
The "LangTag" type is used to specify language tags for localization
purposes, using the [RFC3066] format.
4.5. KerberosFlags
For several message types, a specific constrained bit string type,
KerberosFlags, is used.
KerberosFlags { NamedBits } ::= BIT STRING (SIZE (32..MAX))
(CONSTRAINED BY {
-- MUST be a valid value of -- NamedBits
-- but if the value to be sent would be truncated to shorter
-- than 32 bits according to DER, the value MUST be padded
-- with trailing zero bits to 32 bits. Otherwise, no
-- trailing zero bits may be present.
})
The actual bit string type encoded in Kerberos messages does not use
named bits. The advisory parameter of the KerberosFlags type names a
bit string type defined using named bits, whose value is encoded as
if it were a bit string with unnamed bits. This practice is
necessary because the DER require trailing zero bits to be removed
when encoding bit strings defined using named bits. Existing
implementations of Kerberos send exactly 32 bits rather than
truncating, so the size constraint requires the transmission of at
least 32 bits. Trailing zero bits beyond the first 32 bits are
truncated.
4.6. Typed Holes
-- Typed hole identifiers
TH-id ::= CHOICE {
int32 Int32,
rel-oid RELATIVE-OID
}
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
The "TH-id" type is a generalized means to identify the contents of a
typed hole. The "int32" alternative may be used for simple integer
assignments, in the same manner as "Int32", while the "rel-oid"
alternative may be used for hierarchical delegation.
4.7. HostAddress and HostAddresses
AddrType ::= Int32
HostAddress ::= SEQUENCE {
addr-type [0] AddrType,
address [1] OCTET STRING
}
-- NOTE: HostAddresses is always used as an OPTIONAL field and
-- should not be a zero-length SEQUENCE OF.
--
-- The extensible messages explicitly constrain this to be
-- non-empty.
HostAddresses ::= SEQUENCE OF HostAddress
addr-type
This field specifies the type of address that follows.
address
This field encodes a single address of the type identified by
"addr-type".
All negative values for the host address type are reserved for local
use. All non-negative values are reserved for officially assigned
type fields and interpretations.
addr-type | meaning
__________|______________
2 | IPv4
3 | directional
12 | DECnet
20 | NetBIOS
24 | IPv6
4.7.1. Internet (IPv4) Addresses
Internet (IPv4) addresses are 32-bit (4-octet) quantities, encoded in
MSB order (most significant byte first). The IPv4 loopback address
SHOULD NOT appear in a Kerberos PDU. The type of IPv4 addresses is
two (2).
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
4.7.2. Internet (IPv6) Addresses
IPv6 addresses [RFC2373] are 128-bit (16-octet) quantities, encoded
in MSB order (most significant byte first). The type of IPv6
addresses is twenty-four (24). The following addresses MUST NOT
appear in any Kerberos PDU:
* the Unspecified Address
* the Loopback Address
* Link-Local addresses
This restriction applies to the inclusion in the address fields of
Kerberos PDUs, but not to the address fields of packets that might
carry such PDUs. The restriction is necessary because the use of an
address with non-global scope could allow the acceptance of a message
sent from a node that may have the same address, but which is not the
host intended by the entity that added the restriction. If the
link-local address type needs to be used for communication, then the
address restriction in tickets must not be used (i.e. addressless
tickets must be used).
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses MUST be represented as addresses of type
2.
4.7.3. DECnet Phase IV addresses
DECnet Phase IV addresses are 16-bit addresses, encoded in LSB order.
The type of DECnet Phase IV addresses is twelve (12).
4.7.4. Netbios addresses
Netbios addresses are 16-octet addresses typically composed of 1 to
15 alphanumeric characters and padded with the US-ASCII SPC character
(code 32). The 16th octet MUST be the US-ASCII NUL character (code
0). The type of Netbios addresses is twenty (20).
4.7.5. Directional Addresses
In many environments, including the sender address in KRB-SAFE and
KRB-PRIV messages is undesirable because the addresses may be changed
in transport by network address translators. However, if these
addresses are removed, the messages may be subject to a reflection
attack in which a message is reflected back to its originator. The
directional address type provides a way to avoid transport addresses
and reflection attacks. Directional addresses are encoded as four
byte unsigned integers in network byte order. If the message is
originated by the party sending the original AP-REQ message, then an
address of 0 SHOULD be used. If the message is originated by the
party to whom that AP-REQ was sent, then the address 1 SHOULD be
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
used. Applications involving multiple parties can specify the use of
other addresses.
Directional addresses MUST only be used for the sender address field
in the KRB-SAFE or KRB-PRIV messages. They MUST NOT be used as a
ticket address or in a AP-REQ message. This address type SHOULD only
be used in situations where the sending party knows that the
receiving party supports the address type. This generally means that
directional addresses may only be used when the application protocol
requires their support. Directional addresses are type (3).
5. Principals
Principals are participants in the Kerberos protocol. A "realm"
consists of principals in one administrative domain, served by one
KDC (or one replicated set of KDCs). Each principal name has an
arbitrary number of components, though typical principal names will
only have one or two components. A principal name is meant to be
readable by and meaningful to humans, especially in a realm lacking a
centrally adminstered authorization infrastructure.
5.1. Name Types
Each PrincipalName has NameType indicating what sort of name it is.
The name-type SHOULD be treated as a hint. Ignoring the name type,
no two names can be the same (i.e., at least one of the components,
or the realm, must be different).
-- assigned numbers for name types (used in principal names)
NameType ::= Int32
-- Name type not known
nt-unknown NameType ::= 0
-- Just the name of the principal as in DCE, or for users
nt-principal NameType ::= 1
-- Service and other unique instance (krbtgt)
nt-srv-inst NameType ::= 2
-- Service with host name as instance (telnet, rcommands)
nt-srv-hst NameType ::= 3
-- Service with host as remaining components
nt-srv-xhst NameType ::= 4
-- Unique ID
nt-uid NameType ::= 5
-- Encoded X.509 Distingished name [RFC 2253]
nt-x500-principal NameType ::= 6
-- Name in form of SMTP email name (e.g. user@foo.com)
nt-smtp-name NameType ::= 7
-- Enterprise name - may be mapped to principal name
nt-enterprise NameType ::= 10
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
5.2. Principal Type Definition
PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE {
name-type [0] NameType,
-- May have zero elements, or individual elements may be
-- zero-length, but this is NOT RECOMMENDED.
name-string [1] SEQUENCE OF KerberosString
}
name-type
hint of the type of name that follows
name-string
The "name-string" encodes a sequence of components that form a
name, each component encoded as a KerberosString. Taken
together, a PrincipalName and a Realm form a principal
identifier. Most PrincipalNames will have only a few components
(typically one or two).
5.3. Principal Name Reuse
Realm administrators SHOULD use extreme caution when considering
reusing a principal name. A service administrator might explicitly
enter principal names into a local access control list (ACL) for the
service. If such local ACLs exist independently of a centrally
administered authorization infrastructure, realm administrators
SHOULD NOT reuse principal names until confirming that all extant ACL
entries referencing that principal name have been updated. Failure
to perform this check can result in a security vulnerability, as a
new principal can inadvertently inherit unauthorized privileges upon
receiving a reused principal name. An organization whose Kerberos-
authenticated services all use a centrally-adminstered authorization
infrastructure may not need to take these precautions regarding
principal name reuse.
5.4. Realm Names
Realm ::= KerberosString
-- IA5 only
RealmIA5 ::= Realm (KerberosStringIA5)
-- IA5 excluded
RealmExt ::= Realm (KerberosStringExt)
Kerberos realm names are KerberosStrings. Realms MUST NOT contain a
character with the code 0 (the US-ASCII NUL). Most realms will
usually consist of several components separated by periods (.), in
the style of Internet Domain Names, or separated by slashes (/) in
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
the style of X.500 names.
5.5. Printable Representations of Principal Names
[ perhaps non-normative? ]
The printable form of a principal name consists of the concatenation
of components of the PrincipalName value using the slash character
(/), followed by an at-sign (@), followed by the realm name. Any
occurrence of a backslash (\), slash (/) or at-sign (@) in the
PrincipalName value is quoted by a backslash.
5.6. Ticket-Granting Service Principal
The PrincipalName value corresponding to a ticket-granting service
has two components: the first component is the string "krbtgt", and
the second component is the realm name of the TGS which will accept a
ticket-granting ticket having this service principal name. The realm
name of service always indicates which realm issued the ticket. A
ticket-granting ticket issued by "A.EXAMPLE.COM" which is valid for
obtaining tickets in the same realm would have the following ASN.1
values for its "realm" and "sname" components, respectively:
-- Example Realm and PrincipalName for a TGS
tgtRealm1 Realm ::= ia5 : "A.EXAMPLE.COM"
tgtPrinc1 PrincipalName ::= {
name-type nt-srv-inst,
name-string { ia5 : "krbtgt", ia5 : "A.EXAMPLE.COM" }
}
Its printable representation would be written as
"krbtgt/A.EXAMPLE.COM@A.EXAMPLE.COM".
5.6.1. Cross-Realm TGS Principals
It is possible for a principal in one realm to authenticate to a
service in another realm. A KDC can issue a cross-realm ticket-
granting ticket to allow one of its principals to authenticate to a
service in a foreign realm. For example, the TGS principal
"krbtgt/B.EXAMPLE.COM@A.EXAMPLE.COM" is a principal that permits a
client principal in the realm A.EXAMPLE.COM to authenticate to a
service in the realm B.EXAMPLE.COM. When the KDC for B.EXAMPLE.COM
issues a ticket to a client originating in A.EXAMPLE.COM, the
client's realm name remains "A.EXAMPLE.COM", even though the service
principal will have the realm "B.EXAMPLE.COM".

6. Types Relating to Encryption
Many Kerberos protocol messages contain encrypted encodings of
various data types. Some Kerberos protocol messages also contain
checksums (signatures) of encodings of various types.
6.1. Assigned Numbers for Encryption
Encryption algorithm identifiers and key usages both have assigned
numbers, described in [KCRYPTO].

Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
-- KeyToUse identifies which key is to be used to encrypt or
-- sign a given value.
--
-- Values of KeyToUse are never actually transmitted over the

6.3. EncryptionKey
The "EncryptionKey" type holds an encryption key.
EncryptionKey ::= SEQUENCE {
keytype [0] EType,
keyvalue [1] OCTET STRING
}
keytype
This "EType" identifies the encryption algorithm, described in
[KCRYPTO].
keyvalue
Contains the actual key.
6.4. EncryptedData
The "EncryptedData" type contains the encryption of another data
type. The recipient uses fields within EncryptedData to determine
which key to use for decryption.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004

-- be used to encrypt.
--
-- None of the parameters is transmitted over the wire.
EncryptedData {

encryption. If "Keys" indicate multiple "KeyToUse" values, the
detailed description of the containing message will indicate
which key to use under which conditions.
KeyUsages
Advisory parameter indicating which "KeyUsage" value is used to
encrypt. If "KeyUsages" indicates multiple "KeyUsage" values,
the detailed description of the containing message will indicate

7. Tickets
[ A large number of items described here are duplicated in the
sections describing KDC-REQ processing. Should find a way to avoid
this duplication. ]
A ticket binds a principal name to a session key. The important
fields of a ticket are in the encrypted part. The components in
common between the RFC 1510 and the extensible versions are
EncTicketPartCommon ::= SEQUENCE {
flags [0] TicketFlags,
key [1] EncryptionKey,
crealm [2] Realm,
cname [3] PrincipalName,
transited [4] TransitedEncoding,
authtime [5] KerberosTime,
starttime [6] KerberosTime OPTIONAL,
endtime [7] KerberosTime,
renew-till [8] KerberosTime OPTIONAL,
caddr [9] HostAddresses OPTIONAL,
authorization-data [10] AuthorizationData OPTIONAL,
...
}
crealm
This field contains the client's realm.
cname
This field contains the client's name.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
caddr
This field lists the network addresses (if absent, all addresses
are permitted) from which the ticket is valid.
Descriptions of the other fields appear in the following sections.
7.1. Timestamps
Three of the ticket timestamps may be requested from the KDC. The
timestamps may differ from those requested, depending on site policy.
authtime
The time at which the client authenticated, as recorded by the
KDC.
starttime
The earliest time when the ticket is valid. If not present, the
ticket is valid starting at the authtime. This is requested as
the "from" field of KDC-REQ-BODY-COMMON.
endtime
This time is requested in the "till" field of KDC-REQ-BODY-
COMMON. Contains the time after which the ticket will not be
honored (its expiration time). Note that individual services
MAY place their own limits on the life of a ticket and MAY
reject tickets which have not yet expired. As such, this is
really an upper bound on the expiration time for the ticket.
renew-till
This time is requested in the "rtime" field of KDC-REQ-BODY-
COMMON. It is only present in tickets that have the "renewable"
flag set in the flags field. It indicates the maximum endtime
that may be included in a renewal. It can be thought of as the
absolute expiration time for the ticket, including all renewals.
7.2. Ticket Flags
A number of flags may be set in the ticket, further defining some of
its capabilities. Some of these flags map to flags in a KDC request.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 28]

}
7.2.1. Flags Relating to Initial Ticket Acquisition
[ adapted KCLAR 2.1. ]
Several flags indicate the details of how the initial ticket was
acquired.
initial
The "initial" flag indicates that a ticket was issued using the
AS protocol, rather than issued based on a ticket-granting
ticket. Application servers (e.g., a password-changing program)
requiring a client's definite knowledge of its secret key can
insist that this flag be set in any tickets they accept, thus
being assured that the client's key was recently presented to
the application client.
pre-authent
The "pre-authent" flag indicates that some sort of pre-
authentication was used during the AS exchange.
hw-authent
The "hw-authent" flag indicates that some sort of hardware-based
pre-authentication occurred during the AS exchange.
Both the "pre-authent" and the "hw-authent" flags may be present with
or without the "initial" flag; such tickets with the "initial" flag
clear are ones which are derived from initial tickets with the "pre-
authent" or "hw-authent" flags set.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
7.2.2. Invalid Tickets
[ KCLAR 2.2. ]
The "invalid" flag indicates that a ticket is invalid. Application
servers MUST reject tickets which have this flag set. A postdated
ticket will be issued in this form. Invalid tickets MUST be
validated by the KDC before use, by presenting them to the KDC in a
TGS request with the "validate" option specified. The KDC will only
validate tickets after their starttime has passed. The validation is
required so that postdated tickets which have been stolen before
their starttime can be rendered permanently invalid (through a hot-
list mechanism -- see Section 8.3.2.4).
7.2.3. OK as Delegate
[ KCLAR 2.8. ]
The "ok-as-delegate" flag provides a way for a KDC to communicate
local realm policy to a client regarding whether the service for
which the ticket is issued is trusted to accept delegated
credentials. For some applications, a client may need to delegate
credentials to a service to act on its behalf in contacting other
services. The ability of a client to obtain a service ticket for a
service conveys no information to the client about whether the
service should be trusted to accept delegated credentials.
The copy of the ticket flags visible to the client may have the "ok-
as-delegate" flag set to indicate to the client that the service
specified in the ticket has been determined by policy of the realm to
be a suitable recipient of delegation. A client can use the presence
of this flag to help it make a decision whether to delegate
credentials (either grant a proxy or a forwarded ticket-granting
ticket) to this service. It is acceptable to ignore the value of
this flag. When setting this flag, an administrator should consider
the security and placement of the server on which the service will
run, as well as whether the service requires the use of delegated
credentials.
7.2.4. Renewable Tickets
[ adapted KCLAR 2.3. ]
The "renewable" flag indicates whether the ticket may be renewed.
Renewable tickets can be used to mitigate the consequences of ticket
theft. Applications may desire to hold credentials which can be
valid for long periods of time. However, this can expose the
credentials to potential theft for equally long periods, and those
stolen credentials would be valid until the expiration time of the
ticket(s). Simply using short-lived tickets and obtaining new ones
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
periodically would require the application to have long-term access
to the client's secret key, which is an even greater risk.
Renewable tickets have two "expiration times": the first is when the
current instance of the ticket expires, and the second is the latest
permissible value for an individual expiration time. An application
client must periodically present an unexpired renewable ticket to the
KDC, setting the "renew" option in the KDC request. The KDC will
issue a new ticket with a new session key and a later expiration
time. All other fields of the ticket are left unmodified by the
renewal process. When the latest permissible expiration time
arrives, the ticket expires permanently. At each renewal, the KDC
MAY consult a hot-list to determine if the ticket had been reported
stolen since its last renewal; it will refuse to renew such stolen
tickets, and thus the usable lifetime of stolen tickets is reduced.
The "renewable" flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the
ticket-granting service. It can usually be ignored by application
servers. However, some particularly careful application servers MAY
disallow renewable tickets.
If a renewable ticket is not renewed by its expiration time, the KDC
will not renew the ticket. The "renewable" flag is clear by default,
but a client can request it be set by setting the "renewable" option
in the AS-REQ message. If it is set, then the "renew-till" field in
the ticket contains the time after which the ticket may not be
renewed.
7.2.5. Postdated Tickets
postdated
indicates a ticket which has been postdated
may-postdate
indicates that postdated tickets may be issued based on this
ticket
[ KCLAR 2.4. ]
Applications may occasionally need to obtain tickets for use much
later, e.g., a batch submission system would need tickets to be valid
at the time the batch job is serviced. However, it is dangerous to
hold valid tickets in a batch queue, since they will be on-line
longer and more prone to theft. Postdated tickets provide a way to
obtain these tickets from the KDC at job submission time, but to
leave them "dormant" until they are activated and validated by a
further request of the KDC. If a ticket theft were reported in the
interim, the KDC would refuse to validate the ticket, and the thief
would be foiled.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
The "may-postdate" flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by
the TGS. It can be ignored by application servers. This flag MUST
be set in a ticket-granting ticket in order for the KDC to issue a
postdated ticket based on the presented ticket. It is reset by
default; it MAY be requested by a client by setting the "allow-
postdate" option in the AS-REQ [?also TGS-REQ?] message. This flag
does not allow a client to obtain a postdated ticket-granting ticket;
postdated ticket-granting tickets can only by obtained by requesting
the postdating in the AS-REQ message. The life (endtime minus
starttime) of a postdated ticket will be the remaining life of the
ticket-granting ticket at the time of the request, unless the
"renewable" option is also set, in which case it can be the full life
(endtime minus starttime) of the ticket-granting ticket. The KDC MAY
limit how far in the future a ticket may be postdated.
The "postdated" flag indicates that a ticket has been postdated. The
application server can check the authtime field in the ticket to see
when the original authentication occurred. Some services MAY choose
to reject postdated tickets, or they may only accept them within a
certain period after the original authentication. When the KDC
issues a "postdated" ticket, it will also be marked as "invalid", so
that the application client MUST present the ticket to the KDC for
validation before use.
7.2.6. Proxiable and Proxy Tickets
proxy
indicates a proxy ticket
proxiable
indicates that proxy tickets may be issued based on this ticket
[ KCLAR 2.5. ]
It may be necessary for a principal to allow a service to perform an
operation on its behalf. The service must be able to take on the
identity of the client, but only for a particular purpose. A
principal can allow a service to take on the principal's identity for
a particular purpose by granting it a proxy.
The process of granting a proxy using the "proxy" and "proxiable"
flags is used to provide credentials for use with specific services.
Though conceptually also a proxy, users wishing to delegate their
identity in a form usable for all purposes MUST use the ticket
forwarding mechanism described in the next section to forward a
ticket-granting ticket.
The "proxiable" flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the
ticket-granting service. It can be ignored by application servers.
When set, this flag tells the ticket-granting server that it is OK to
issue a new ticket (but not a ticket-granting ticket) with a
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
different network address based on this ticket. This flag is set if
requested by the client on initial authentication. By default, the
client will request that it be set when requesting a ticket-granting
ticket, and reset when requesting any other ticket.
This flag allows a client to pass a proxy to a server to perform a
remote request on its behalf (e.g. a print service client can give
the print server a proxy to access the client's files on a particular
file server in order to satisfy a print request).
In order to complicate the use of stolen credentials, Kerberos
tickets may contain a set of network addresses from which they are
valid. When granting a proxy, the client MUST specify the new
network address from which the proxy is to be used, or indicate that
the proxy is to be issued for use from any address.
The "proxy" flag is set in a ticket by the TGS when it issues a proxy
ticket. Application servers MAY check this flag and at their option
they MAY require additional authentication from the agent presenting
the proxy in order to provide an audit trail.
7.2.7. Forwarded and Forwardable Tickets
forwarded
indicates a forwarded ticket
forwardable
indicates that forwarded tickets may be issued based on this
ticket
[ KCLAR 2.6. ]
Authentication forwarding is an instance of a proxy where the service
that is granted is complete use of the client's identity. An example
where it might be used is when a user logs in to a remote system and
wants authentication to work from that system as if the login were
local.
The "forwardable" flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by
the ticket-granting service. It can be ignored by application
servers. The "forwardable" flag has an interpretation similar to
that of the "proxiable" flag, except ticket-granting tickets may also
be issued with different network addresses. This flag is reset by
default, but users MAY request that it be set by setting the
"forwardable" option in the AS request when they request their
initial ticket-granting ticket.
This flag allows for authentication forwarding without requiring the
user to enter a password again. If the flag is not set, then
authentication forwarding is not permitted, but the same result can
still be achieved if the user engages in the AS exchange specifying
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
the requested network addresses and supplies a password.
The "forwarded" flag is set by the TGS when a client presents a
ticket with the "forwardable" flag set and requests a forwarded
ticket by specifying the "forwarded" KDC option and supplying a set
of addresses for the new ticket. It is also set in all tickets
issued based on tickets with the "forwarded" flag set. Application
servers may choose to process "forwarded" tickets differently than
non-forwarded tickets.
If addressless tickets are forwarded from one system to another,
clients SHOULD still use this option to obtain a new TGT in order to
have different session keys on the different systems.
7.3. Transited Realms
[ KCLAR 2.7., plus new stuff ]
7.4. Authorization Data
[ KCLAR 5.2.6. ]
ADType ::= TH-id
AuthorizationData ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
ad-type [0] ADType,
ad-data [1] OCTET STRING
}
ad-type
This field identifies the contents of the ad-data. All negative
values are reserved for local use. Non-negative values are
reserved for registered use.
ad-data
This field contains authorization data to be interpreted
according to the value of the corresponding ad-type field.
Each sequence of ADType and OCTET STRING is referred to as an
authorization element. Elements MAY be application specific,
however, there is a common set of recursive elements that should be
understood by all implementations. These elements contain other
AuthorizationData, and the interpretation of the encapsulating
element determines which enclosed elements must be interpreted, and
which may be ignored.
Depending on the meaning of the encapsulating element, the
encapsulated AuthorizationData may be ignored, interpreted as issued
directly by the KDC, or be stored in a separate plaintext part of the
ticket. The types of the encapsulating elements are specified as
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
part of the Kerberos protocol because behavior based on these
container elements should be understood across implementations, while
other elements need only be understood by the applications which they
affect.
Authorization data elements are considered critical if present in a
ticket or authenticator. Unless encapsulated in a known
authorization data element modifying the criticality of the elements
it contains, an application server MUST reject the authentication of
a client whose AP-REQ or ticket contains an unrecognized
authorization data element. Authorization data is intended to
restrict the use of a ticket. If the service cannot determine
whether it is the target of a restriction, a security weakness may
exist if the ticket can be used for that service. Authorization
elements that are truly optional can be enclosed in AD-IF-RELEVANT
element.

ad-if-relevant ADType ::= int32 : 1
-- Encapsulates another AuthorizationData.
-- Intended for application servers; receiving application servers

AD-IF-RELEVANT ::= AuthorizationData
AD elements encapsulated within the if-relevant element are intended
for interpretation only by application servers that understand the
particular ad-type of the embedded element. Application servers that
do not understand the type of an element embedded within the if-
relevant element MAY ignore the uninterpretable element. This element
promotes interoperability across implementations which may have local
extensions for authorization. The ad-type for AD-IF-RELEVANT is (1).

}
ad-checksum
A cryptographic checksum computed over the DER encoding of the
AuthorizationData in the "elements" field, keyed with the
session key. Its checksumtype is the mandatory checksum type
for the encryption type of the session key, and its key usage
value is 19.
i-realm, i-sname
The name of the issuing principal if different from the KDC
itself. This field would be used when the KDC can verify the
authenticity of elements signed by the issuing principal and it
allows this KDC to notify the application server of the validity
of those elements.
elements
AuthorizationData issued by the KDC.
The KDC-issued ad-data field is intended to provide a means for
Kerberos credentials to embed within themselves privilege attributes
and other mechanisms for positive authorization, amplifying the
privileges of the principal beyond what it would have if using
credentials without such an authorization-data element.
This amplification of privileges cannot be provided without this
element because the definition of the authorization-data field allows
elements to be added at will by the bearer of a TGT at the time that
they request service tickets and elements may also be added to a
delegated ticket by inclusion in the authenticator.
For KDC-issued elements this is prevented because the elements are
signed by the KDC by including a checksum encrypted using the
server's key (the same key used to encrypt the ticket -- or a key
derived from that key). AuthorizationData encapsulated with in the
AD-KDCIssued element MUST be ignored by the application server if
this "signature" is not present. Further, AuthorizationData
encapsulated within this element from a ticket-granting ticket MAY be
interpreted by the KDC, and used as a basis according to policy for
including new signed elements within derivative tickets, but they
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
will not be copied to a derivative ticket directly. If they are
copied directly to a derivative ticket by a KDC that is not aware of
this element, the signature will not be correct for the application
ticket elements, and the field will be ignored by the application
server.
This element and the elements it encapsulates MAY be safely ignored
by applications, application servers, and KDCs that do not implement
this element.
The ad-type for AD-KDC-ISSUED is (4).
7.4.3. AD-AND-OR
ad-and-or ADType ::= int32 : 5
AD-AND-OR ::= SEQUENCE {
condition-count [0] INTEGER,
elements [1] AuthorizationData
}
When restrictive AD elements are encapsulated within the and-or
element, the and-or element is considered satisfied if and only if at
least the number of encapsulated elements specified in condition-
count are satisfied. Therefore, this element MAY be used to
implement an "or" operation by setting the condition-count field to
1, and it MAY specify an "and" operation by setting the condition
count to the number of embedded elements. Application servers that do
not implement this element MUST reject tickets that contain
authorization data elements of this type.
The ad-type for AD-AND-OR is (5).
7.4.4. AD-MANDATORY-FOR-KDC
-- KDCs MUST interpret any AuthorizationData wrapped in this.
ad-mandatory-for-kdc ADType ::= int32 : 8
AD-MANDATORY-FOR-KDC ::= AuthorizationData
AD elements encapsulated within the mandatory-for-kdc element are to
be interpreted by the KDC. KDCs that do not understand the type of
an element embedded within the mandatory-for-kdc element MUST reject
the request.
The ad-type for AD-MANDATORY-FOR-KDC is (8).

The "sname" field provides the name of the target service principal
in cleartext, as a hint to aid the server in choosing the correct

8. Credential Acquisition
There are two exchanges that can be used for acquiring credentials:
the AS exchange and the TGS exchange. These exchanges have many
similarities, and this document describes them in parallel, noting
which behaviors are specific to one type of exchange. The AS request
(AS-REQ) and TGS request (TGS-REQ) are both forms of KDC requests
(KDC-REQ). Likewise, the AS reply (AS-REP) and TGS reply (TGS-REP)
are forms of KDC replies (KDC-REP).
The credentials acquisition protocol operates over specific
transports. Additionally, specific methods exist to permit a client
to discover the KDC host with which to communicate.
8.1. KDC-REQ
The KDC-REQ has a large number of fields in common between the RFC
1510 and the extensible versions. The KDC-REQ type itself is never
directly encoded; it is always a part of a AS-REQ or a TGS-REQ.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 40]

These flags do not correspond directly to "flags" in
EncTicketPartCommon.
cname
This field is copied to the "cname" field in
EncTicketPartCommon. The "cname" field is required in an AS-
REQ; the client places its own name here. In a TGS-REQ, the
"cname" in the ticket in the AP-REQ takes precedence.
realm
This field is the server's realm, and also holds the client's
realm in an AS-REQ.
sname
The "sname" field indicates the server's name. It may be absent
in a TGS-REQ which requests user-to-user authentication, in
which case the "sname" of the issued ticket will be taken from
the included additional ticket.
The "from", "till", and "rtime" fields correspond to the "starttime",
"endtime", and "renew-till" fields of EncTicketPartCommon.
addresses
This field corresponds to the "caddr" field of
EncTicketPartCommon.
enc-authorization-data
For TGS-REQ, this field contains authorization data encrypted
using either the TGT session key or the AP-REQ subsession key;
the KDC may copy these into the "authorization-data" field of
EncTicketPartCommon if policy permits.
lang-tags
Only present in the extensible messages. Specifies the set of
languages which the client is willing to accept in error
messages.

A client SHOULD NOT send the extensible AS-REQ alternative to a KDC
if the client does not know that the KDC supports the extensibility
framework. A client SHOULD send the extensible AS-REQ alternative in

8.2. PA-DATA
PA-DATA have multiple uses in the Kerberos protocol. They may pre-
authenticate an AS-REQ; they may also modify several of the
encryption keys used in a KDC-REP. PA-DATA may also provide "hints"
to the client about which long-term key (usually password-derived) to
use. PA-DATA may also include "hints" about which pre-authentication
mechanisms to use, or include data for input into a pre-
authentication mechanism.
[ XXX enumerate standard padata here ]
8.3. KDC-REQ Processing
Processing of a KDC-REQ proceeds through several steps. An
implementation need not perform these steps exactly as described, as
long as it behaves as if the steps were performed as described. The
KDC performs replay handling upon receiving the request; it then
validates the request, adjusts timestamps, and selects the keys used
in the reply. It copies data from the request into the issued
ticket, adjusting the values to conform with its policies. The KDC
then transmits the reply to the client.
8.3.1. Handling Replays
Because Kerberos can run over unreliable transports such as UDP, the
KDC MUST be prepared to retransmit responses in case they are lost.
If a KDC receives a request identical to one it has recently
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 46]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
successfully processed, the KDC MUST respond with a KDC-REP message
rather than a replay error. In order to reduce the amount of
ciphertext given to a potential attacker, KDCs MAY send the same
response generated when the request was first handled. KDCs MUST
obey this replay behavior even if the actual transport in use is
reliable. If the AP-REQ which authenticates a TGS-REQ is a replay,
and the entire request is not identical to a recently successfully
processed request, the KDC SHOULD return "krb-ap-err-repeat", as is
appropriate for AP-REQ processing.
8.3.2. Request Validation
8.3.2.1. AS-REQ Authentication
Site policy determines whether a given client principal is required
to provide some pre-authentication prior to receiving an AS-REP.
Since the default reply key is typically the client's long-term
password-based key, an attacker may easily request known plaintext
(in the form of an AS-REP) upon which to mount a dictionary attack.
Pre-authentication can limit the possibility of such an attack.
If site policy requires pre-authentication for a client principal,
and no pre-authentication is provided, the KDC returns the error
"kdc-err-preauth-required". Accompanying this error are "e-data"
which include hints telling the client which pre-authentication
mechanisms to use, or data for input to pre-authentication mechanisms
(e.g., input to challenge-response systems). If pre-authentication
fails, the KDC returns the error "kdc-err-preauth-failed".
[ may need additional changes based on Sam's preauth draft ]
8.3.2.2. TGS-REQ Authentication
A TGS-REQ has an accompanying AP-REQ, which is included in the "pa-
tgs-req". The KDC MUST validate the checksum in the Authenticator of
the AP-REQ, which is computed over the KDC-REQ-BODY-1510 or KDC-REQ-
BODY-EXT (for TGS-REQ-1510 or TGS-REQ-EXT, respectively) of the
request. [ padata not signed by authenticator! ] Any error from the
AP-REQ validation process SHOULD be returned in a KRB-ERROR message.
The service principal in the ticket of the AP-REQ may be a ticket-
granting service principal, or a normal application service
principal. A ticket which is not a ticket-granting ticket MUST NOT
be used to issue a ticket for any service other than the one named in
the ticket. In this case, the "renew", "validate", or "proxy" [?also
forwarded?] option must be set in the request.
8.3.2.3. Principal Validation
If the client principal in an AS-REQ is unknown, the KDC returns the
error "kdc-err-c-principal-unknown". If the server principal in a
KDC-REQ is unknown, the KDC returns the error "kdc-err-s-principal-
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
unknown".
8.3.2.4. Checking For Revoked or Invalid Tickets
[ KCLAR 3.3.3.1 ]
Whenever a request is made to the ticket-granting server, the
presented ticket(s) is(are) checked against a hot-list of tickets
which have been canceled. This hot-list might be implemented by
storing a range of issue timestamps for "suspect tickets"; if a
presented ticket had an authtime in that range, it would be rejected.
In this way, a stolen ticket-granting ticket or renewable ticket
cannot be used to gain additional tickets (renewals or otherwise)
once the theft has been reported to the KDC for the realm in which
the server resides. Any normal ticket obtained before it was
reported stolen will still be valid (because they require no
interaction with the KDC), but only until their normal expiration
time. If TGTs have been issued for cross-realm authentication, use
of the cross-realm TGT will not be affected unless the hot-list is
propagated to the KDCs for the realms for which such cross-realm
tickets were issued.
If a TGS-REQ ticket has its "invalid" flag set, the KDC MUST NOT
issue any ticket unless the TGS-REQ requests the "validate" option.
8.3.3. Timestamp Handling
[ some aspects of timestamp handling, especially regarding postdating
and renewal, are difficult to read in KCLAR... needs closer
examination here ]
Processing of "starttime" (requested in the "from" field) differs
depending on whether the "postdated" option is set in the request.
If the "postdated" option is not set, and the requested "starttime"
is in the future beyond the window of acceptable clock skew, the KDC
returns the error "kdc-err-cannot-postdate". If the "postdated"
option is not set, and the requested "starttime" is absent or does
not indicate a time in the future beyond the acceptable clock skew,
the KDC sets the "starttime" to the KDC's current time. The
"postdated" option MUST NOT be honored if the ticket is being
requested by TGS-REQ and the "may-postdate" is not set in the TGT.
Otherwise, if the "postdated" option is set, and site policy permits,
the KDC sets the "starttime" as requested, and sets the "invalid"
flag in the new ticket.
The "till" field is required in the RFC 1510 version of the KDC-REQ.
If the "till" field is equal to "19700101000000Z" (midnight, January
1, 1970), the KDC SHOULD behave as if the "till" field were absent.
The KDC MUST NOT issue a ticket whose "starttime", "endtime", or
"renew-till" time is later than the "renew-till" time of the ticket
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
from which it is derived.
8.3.3.1. AS-REQ Timestamp Processing
In the AS exchange, the "authtime" of a ticket is set to the local
time at the KDC.
The "endtime" of the ticket will be set to the earlier of the
requested "till" time and a time determined by local policy, possibly
determined using factors specific to the realm or principal. For
example, the expiration time MAY be set to the earliest of the
following:
* the expiration time ("till" value) requested
* the ticket's start time plus the maximum allowable lifetime
associated with the client principal from the authentication
server's database
* the ticket's start time plus the maximum allowable lifetime
associated with the server principal
* the ticket's start time plus the maximum lifetime set by the
policy of the local realm
If the requested expiration time minus the start time (as determined
above) is less than a site-determined minimum lifetime, an error
message with code "kdc-err-never-valid" is returned. If the
requested expiration time for the ticket exceeds what was determined
as above, and if the "renewable-ok" option was requested, then the
"renewable" flag is set in the new ticket, and the "renew-till" value
is set as if the "renewable" option were requested.
If the "renewable" option has been requested or if the "renewable-ok"
option has been set and a renewable ticket is to be issued, then the
"renew-till" field MAY be set to the earliest of:
* its requested value
* the start time of the ticket plus the minimum of the two maximum
renewable lifetimes associated with the principals' database
entries
* the start time of the ticket plus the maximum renewable lifetime
set by the policy of the local realm
8.3.3.2. TGS-REQ Timestamp Processing
In the TGS exchange, the KDC sets the "authtime" to that of the
ticket in the AP-REQ authenticating the TGS-REQ. [?application
server can print a ticket for itself with a spoofed authtime.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
security issues for hot-list?] [ MIT implementation may change
authtime of renewed tickets; needs check... ]
If the TGS-REQ has a TGT as the ticket in its AP-REQ, and the TGS-REQ
requests an "endtime" (in the "till" field), then the "endtime" of
the new ticket is set to the minimum of
* the requested "endtime" value,
* the "endtime" in the TGT, and
* an "endtime" determined by site policy on ticket lifetimes.
If the new ticket is a renewal, the "endtime" of the new ticket is
bounded by the minimum of
* the requested "endtime" value,
* the value of the "renew-till" value of the old,
* the "starttime" of the new ticket plus the lifetime (endtime
minus starttime) of the old ticket, i.e., the lifetime of the
new ticket may not exceed that of the ticket being renewed [
adapted from KCLAR 3.3.3. ], and
* an "endtime" determined by site policy on ticket lifetimes.
When handling a TGS-REQ, a KDC MUST NOT issue a postdated ticket with
a "starttime", "endtime", or "renew-till" time later than the
"renew-till" time of the TGT.
8.3.4. Handling Transited Realms
The KDC checks the ticket in a TGS-REQ against site policy, unless
the "disable-transited-check" option is set in the TGS-REQ. If site
policy permits the transit path in the TGS-REQ ticket, the KDC sets
the "transited-policy-checked" flag in the issued ticket. If the
"disable-transited-check" option is set, the issued ticket will have
the "transited-policy-checked" flag cleared.
8.3.5. Address Processing The requested "addresses" in the KDC-REQ are
copied into the issued ticket. If the "addresses" field is absent or
empty in a TGS-REQ, the KDC copies addresses from the ticket in the
TGS-REQ into the issued ticket, unless the either "forwarded" or
"proxy" option is set. If the "forwarded" option is set, and the
ticket in the TGS-REQ has its "forwardable" flag set, the KDC copies
the addresses from the TGS-REQ, not the from TGS-REQ ticket, into the
issued ticket. The KDC behaves similarly if the "proxy" option is
set in the TGS-REQ and the "proxiable" flag is set in the ticket.
The "proxy" option will not be honored on requests for additional
ticket-granting tickets.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
8.3.6. Ticket Flag Processing
Many kdc-options request that the KDC set a corresponding flag in the
issued ticket. kdc-options marked with an asterisk (*) in the
following table do not directly request the corresponding ticket flag
and therefore require special handling.
kdc-option | ticket flag affected
________________________|__________________________
forwardable | forwardable
forwarded | forwarded
proxiable | proxiable
proxy | proxy
allow-postdate | may-postdate
postdated | postdated
renewable | renewable
requestanonymous | anonymous
canonicalize | -
disable-transited-check*| transited-policy-checked
renewable-ok* | renewable
enc-tkt-in-skey | -
renew | -
validate* | invalid
forwarded
The KDC sets the "forwarded" flag in the issued ticket if the
"forwarded" option is set in the TGS-REQ and the "forwardable"
flag is set in the TGS-REQ ticket.
proxy
The KDC sets the "proxy" flag in the issued ticket if the
"proxy" option is set in the TGS-REQ and the "proxiable" flag is
set in the TGS-REQ ticket.
disable-transited-check
The handling of the "disable-transited-check" kdc-option is
described in Section 8.3.4.
renewable-ok
The handling of the "renewable-ok" kdc-option is described in
Section 8.3.3.1.
enc-tkt-in-skey
This flag modifies ticket key selection to use the session key
of an additional ticket included in the TGS-REQ, for the purpose
of user-to-user authentication.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 51]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
validate
If the "validate" kdc-option is set in a TGS-REQ, and the
"starttime" has passed, the KDC will clear the "invalid" bit on
the ticket before re-issuing it.
8.3.7. Key Selection
Three keys are involved in creating a KDC-REP. The reply key
encrypts the encrypted part of the KDC-REP. The session key is
stored in the encrypted part of the ticket, and is also present in
the encrypted part of the KDC-REP so that the client can retrieve it.
The ticket key is used to encrypt the ticket. These keys all have
initial values for a given exchange; pre-authentication and other
extension mechanisms may change the value used for any of these keys.
[ again, may need changes based on Sam's preauth draft ]
8.3.7.1. Reply Key and Session Key Selection
The set of encryption types which the client will understand appears
in the "etype" field of KDC-REQ-BODY-COMMON. The KDC limits the set
of possible reply keys and the set of session key encryption types
based on the "etype" field.
For the AS exchange, the reply key is initially a long-term key of
the client, limited to those encryption types listed in the "etype"
field. The KDC SHOULD use the first valid strong "etype" for which
an encryption key is available. For the TGS exchange, the reply key
is initially the subsession key of the Authenticator. If the
Authenticator subsesion key is absent, the reply key is initially the
session key of the ticket used to authenticate the TGS-REQ.
The session key is initially randomly generated, and has an
encryption type which both the client and the server will understand.
Typically, the KDC has prior knowledge of which encryption types the
server will understand. It selects the first valid strong "etype"
listed the request which the server also will understand.
8.3.7.2. Ticket Key Selection
The ticket key is initially the long-term key of the service. The
"enc-tkt-in-skey" option requests user-to-user authentication, where
the ticket encryption key of the issued ticket is set equal to the
session key of the additional ticket in the request.
8.4. KDC-REP
The important parts of the KDC-REP are encrypted.

8.5. Reply Validation
[ signature verification ]
8.6. IP Transports
[ KCLAR 7.2 ]
Kerberos defines two IP transport mechanisms for the credentials
acquisition protocol: UDP/IP and TCP/IP.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 55]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
8.6.1. UDP/IP transport
Kerberos servers (KDCs) supporting IP transports MUST accept UDP
requests and SHOULD listen for such requests on port 88 (decimal)
unless specifically configured to listen on an alternative UDP port.
Alternate ports MAY be used when running multiple KDCs for multiple
realms on the same host.
Kerberos clients supporting IP transports SHOULD support the sending
of UDP requests. Clients SHOULD use KDC discovery (Section 8.6.3) to
identify the IP address and port to which they will send their
request.
When contacting a KDC for a KRB_KDC_REQ request using UDP/IP
transport, the client shall send a UDP datagram containing only an
encoding of the request to the KDC. The KDC will respond with a reply
datagram containing only an encoding of the reply message (either a
KRB-ERROR or a KDC-REP) to the sending port at the sender's IP
address. The response to a request made through UDP/IP transport MUST
also use UDP/IP transport. If the response can not be handled using
UDP (for example because it is too large), the KDC MUST return "krb-
err-response-too-big", forcing the client to retry the request using
the TCP transport.
8.6.2. TCP/IP transport
Kerberos servers (KDCs) supporting IP transports MUST accept TCP
requests and SHOULD listen for such requests on port 88 (decimal)
unless specifically configured to listen on an alternate TCP port.
Alternate ports MAY be used when running multiple KDCs for multiple
realms on the same host.
Clients MUST support the sending of TCP requests, but MAY choose to
initially try a request using the UDP transport. Clients SHOULD use
KDC discovery (Section 8.6.3) to identify the IP address and port to
which they will send their request.
Implementation note: Some extensions to the Kerberos protocol will
not succeed if any client or KDC not supporting the TCP transport is
involved. Implementations of RFC 1510 were not required to support
TCP/IP transports.
When the KDC-REQ message is sent to the KDC over a TCP stream, the
response (KDC-REP or KRB-ERROR message) MUST be returned to the
client on the same TCP stream that was established for the request.
The KDC MAY close the TCP stream after sending a response, but MAY
leave the stream open for a reasonable period of time if it expects a
followup. Care must be taken in managing TCP/IP connections on the
KDC to prevent denial of service attacks based on the number of open
TCP/IP connections.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 56]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
The client MUST be prepared to have the stream closed by the KDC at
anytime after the receipt of a response. A stream closure SHOULD NOT
be treated as a fatal error. Instead, if multiple exchanges are
required (e.g., certain forms of pre-authentication) the client may
need to establish a new connection when it is ready to send
subsequent messages. A client MAY close the stream after receiving a
response, and SHOULD close the stream if it does not expect to send
followup messages.
A client MAY send multiple requests before receiving responses,
though it must be prepared to handle the connection being closed
after the first response.
Each request (KDC-REQ) and response (KDC-REP or KRB-ERROR) sent over
the TCP stream is preceded by the length of the request as 4 octets
in network byte order. The high bit of the length is reserved for
future expansion and MUST currently be set to zero. If a KDC that
does not understand how to interpret a set high bit of the length
encoding receives a request with the high order bit of the length
set, it MUST return a KRB-ERROR message with the error "krb-err-
field-toolong" and MUST close the TCP stream.
If multiple requests are sent over a single TCP connection, and the
KDC sends multiple responses, the KDC is not required to send the
responses in the order of the corresponding requests. This may
permit some implementations to send each response as soon as it is
ready even if earlier requests are still being processed (for
example, waiting for a response from an external device or database).
8.6.3. KDC Discovery on IP Networks
Kerberos client implementations MUST provide a means for the client
to determine the location of the Kerberos Key Distribution Centers
(KDCs). Traditionally, Kerberos implementations have stored such
configuration information in a file on each client machine.
Experience has shown this method of storing configuration information
presents problems with out-of-date information and scaling problems,
especially when using cross-realm authentication. This section
describes a method for using the Domain Name System [RFC 1035] for
storing KDC location information.
8.6.3.1. DNS vs. Kerberos - Case Sensitivity of Realm Names
In Kerberos, realm names are case sensitive. While it is strongly
encouraged that all realm names be all upper case this recommendation
has not been adopted by all sites. Some sites use all lower case
names and other use mixed case. DNS, on the other hand, is case
insensitive for queries. Since the realm names "MYREALM", "myrealm",
and "MyRealm" are all different, but resolve the same in the domain
name system, it is necessary that only one of the possible
combinations of upper and lower case characters be used in realm
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 57]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
names.
8.6.3.2. DNS SRV records for KDC location
KDC location information is to be stored using the DNS SRV RR [RFC
2782]. The format of this RR is as follows:
_Service._Proto.Realm TTL Class SRV Priority Weight Port Target
The Service name for Kerberos is always "kerberos".
The Proto can be one of "udp", "tcp". If these SRV records are to be
used, both "udp" and "tcp" records MUST be specified for all KDC
deployments.
The Realm is the Kerberos realm that this record corresponds to. The
realm MUST be a domain style realm name.
TTL, Class, SRV, Priority, Weight, and Target have the standard
meaning as defined in RFC 2782.
As per RFC 2782 the Port number used for "_udp" and "_tcp" SRV
records SHOULD be the value assigned to "kerberos" by the Internet
Assigned Number Authority: 88 (decimal) unless the KDC is configured
to listen on an alternate TCP port.
Implementation note: Many existing client implementations do not
support KDC Discovery and are configured to send requests to the IANA
assigned port (88 decimal), so it is strongly recommended that KDCs
be configured to listen on that port.
8.6.3.3. KDC Discovery for Domain Style Realm Names on IP Networks
These are DNS records for a Kerberos realm EXAMPLE.COM. It has two
Kerberos servers, kdc1.example.com and kdc2.example.com. Queries
should be directed to kdc1.example.com first as per the specified
priority. Weights are not used in these sample records.
_kerberos._udp.EXAMPLE.COM. IN SRV 0 0 88 kdc1.example.com.
_kerberos._udp.EXAMPLE.COM. IN SRV 1 0 88 kdc2.example.com.
_kerberos._tcp.EXAMPLE.COM. IN SRV 0 0 88 kdc1.example.com.
_kerberos._tcp.EXAMPLE.COM. IN SRV 1 0 88 kdc2.example.com.
9. Errors
The KRB-ERROR message is returned by the KDC if an error occurs
during credentials acquisition. It may also be returned by an
application server if an error occurs during authentication.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 58]

The extensible KRB-ERROR is only signed if there has been a key
negotiated with its recipient. KRB-ERROR messages sent in response
to AS-REQ messages will probably not be signed unless a
preauthentication mechanism has negotiated a key. (Signing using a
client's long-term key can expose ciphertext to dictionary attacks.)

10. Session Key Exchange
Session key exchange consists of the AP-REQ and AP-REP messages. The
client sends the AP-REQ message, and the service responds with an
AP-REP message if mutual authentication is desired. Following
session key exchange, the client and service share a secret session
key, or possibly a subsesion key, which can be used to protect
further communications. Additionally, the session key exchange
process can establish initial sequence numbers which the client and
service can use to detect replayed messages.
10.1. AP-REQ
An AP-REQ message contains a ticket and a authenticator. The
authenticator is ciphertext encrypted with the session key contained
in the ticket. The plaintext contents of the authenticator are:

11. Session Key Use
Once a session key has been established, the client and server can
use several kinds of messages to securely transmit data. KRB-SAFE
provides integrity protection for application data, while KRB-PRIV
provides confidentiality along with integrity protection. The KRB-
CRED message provides a means of securely forwarding credentials from
the client host to the server host.
11.1. KRB-SAFE

12. Security Considerations
12.1. Time Synchronization
Time synchronization between the KDC and application servers is
necessary to prevent acceptance of expired tickets.
Time synchronization is needed between application servers and
clients to prevent replay attacks if a replay cache is being used.
If negotiated subsession keys are used to encrypt application data,
replay caches may not be necessary.
12.2. Replays
12.3. Principal Name Reuse
See Section 5.3.
12.4. Password Guessing
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 67]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
12.5. Forward Secrecy
[from KCLAR 10.; needs some rewriting]
The Kerberos protocol in its basic form does not provide perfect
forward secrecy for communications. If traffic has been recorded by
an eavesdropper, then messages encrypted using the KRB-PRIV message,
or messages encrypted using application-specific encryption under
keys exchanged using Kerberos can be decrypted if any of the user's,
application server's, or KDC's key is subsequently discovered. This
is because the session key used to encrypt such messages is
transmitted over the network encrypted in the key of the application
server, and also encrypted under the session key from the user's
ticket-granting ticket when returned to the user in the TGS-REP
message. The session key from the ticket-granting ticket was sent to
the user in the AS-REP message encrypted in the user's secret key,
and embedded in the ticket-granting ticket, which was encrypted in
the key of the KDC. Application requiring perfect forward secrecy
must exchange keys through mechanisms that provide such assurance,
but may use Kerberos for authentication of the encrypted channel
established through such other means.
12.6. Authorization
As an authentication service, Kerberos provides a means of verifying
the identity of principals on a network. Kerberos does not, by
itself, provide authorization. Applications SHOULD NOT accept the
mere issuance of a service ticket by the Kerberos server as granting
authority to use the service.
12.7. Login Authentication
Some applications, particularly those which provide login access when
provided with a password, SHOULD NOT treat successful acquisition of
credentials as sufficient proof of the user's identity. An attacker
posing as a user could generate an illegitimate KDC-REP message which
decrypts properly. To authenticate a user logging on to a local
system, the credentials obtained SHOULD be used in a TGS exchange to
obtain credentials for a local service. Successful use of those
credentials to authenticate to the local service assures that the
initially obtained credentials are from a valid KDC.
13. IANA Considerations
[ needs more work ]
Each use of Int32 in this document defines a number space. [ XXX
enumerate these ] Negative numbers are reserved for private use;
local and experimental extensions should use these values. Zero is
reserved and may not be assigned.
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 68]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
Typed hole contents may be identified by either Int32 values or by
RELATIVE-OID values. Since RELATIVE-OIDs define a hierarchical
namespace, assignments to the top level of the RELATIVE-OID space may
be made on a first-come, first-served basis.

B. Kerberos and Character Encodings (Informative)
[adapted from KCLAR 5.2.1]
The original specification of the Kerberos protocol in RFC 1510 uses
GeneralString in numerous places for human-readable string data.
Historical implementations of Kerberos cannot utilize the full power
of GeneralString. This ASN.1 type requires the use of designation
and invocation escape sequences as specified in ISO 2022 | ECMA-35
[ISO2022] to switch character sets, and the default character set
that is designated as G0 is the ISO 646 | ECMA-6 [ISO646]
International Reference Version (IRV) (aka U.S. ASCII), which mostly
works.
ISO 2022 | ECMA-35 defines four character-set code elements (G0..G3)
and two Control-function code elements (C0..C1). DER previously
[X690-1997] prohibited the designation of character sets as any but
the G0 and C0 sets. This had the side effect of prohibiting the use
Yu Expires: Apr 2005 [Page 103]
Internet-Draft yu-krb-extensions-02 25 Oct 2004
of (ISO Latin) character-sets such as ISO 8859-1 [ISO8859-1] or any
other character-sets that utilize a 96-character set, since it is
prohibited by ISO 2022 | ECMA-35 to designate them as the G0 code
element. Recent revisions to the ASN.1 standards resolve this
contradiction.
In practice, many implementations treat RFC 1510 GeneralStrings as if
they were 8-bit strings of whichever character set the implementation
defaults to, without regard for correct usage of character-set
designation escape sequences. The default character set is often
determined by the current user's operating system dependent locale.
At least one major implementation places unescaped UTF-8 encoded
Unicode characters in the GeneralString. This failure to conform to
the GeneralString specifications results in interoperability issues
when conflicting character encodings are utilized by the Kerberos
clients, services, and KDC.
This unfortunate situation is the result of improper documentation of
the restrictions of the ASN.1 GeneralString type in prior Kerberos
specifications.
[the following should probably be rewritten and moved into the
principal name section]
For compatibility, implementations MAY choose to accept GeneralString
values that contain characters other than those permitted by
IA5String, but they should be aware that character set designation
codes will likely be absent, and that the encoding should probably be
treated as locale-specific in almost every way. Implementations MAY
also choose to emit GeneralString values that are beyond those
permitted by IA5String, but should be aware that doing so is
extraordinarily risky from an interoperability perspective.
Some existing implementations use GeneralString to encode unescaped
locale-specific characters. This is a violation of the ASN.1
standard. Most of these implementations encode US-ASCII in the left-
hand half, so as long the implementation transmits only US-ASCII, the
ASN.1 standard is not violated in this regard. As soon as such an
implementation encodes unescaped locale-specific characters with the
high bit set, it violates the ASN.1 standard.
Other implementations have been known to use GeneralString to contain
a UTF-8 encoding. This also violates the ASN.1 standard, since UTF-8
is a different encoding, not a 94 or 96 character "G" set as defined
by ISO 2022. It is believed that these implementations do not even
use the ISO 2022 escape sequence to change the character encoding.
Even if implementations were to announce the change of encoding by
using that escape sequence, the ASN.1 standard prohibits the use of
any escape sequences other than those used to designate/invoke "G" or
"C" sets allowed by GeneralString.

C. Kerberos History (Informative)
[Adapted from KCLAR "BACKGROUND"]
The Kerberos model is based in part on Needham and Schroeder's
trusted third-party authentication protocol [NS78] and on
modifications suggested by Denning and Sacco [DS81]. The original
design and implementation of Kerberos Versions 1 through 4 was the
work of two former Project Athena staff members, Steve Miller of
Digital Equipment Corporation and Clifford Neuman (now at the
Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern
California), along with Jerome Saltzer, Technical Director of Project
Athena, and Jeffrey Schiller, MIT Campus Network Manager. Many other
members of Project Athena have also contributed to the work on
Kerberos.
Version 5 of the Kerberos protocol (described in this document) has
evolved from Version 4 based on new requirements and desires for
features not available in Version 4. The design of Version 5 of the
Kerberos protocol was led by Clifford Neuman and John Kohl with much
input from the community. The development of the MIT reference
implementation was led at MIT by John Kohl and Theodore Ts'o, with
help and contributed code from many others. Since RFC1510 was
issued, extensions and revisions to the protocol have been proposed
by many individuals. Some of these proposals are reflected in this
document. Where such changes involved significant effort, the
document cites the contribution of the proposer.
Reference implementations of both version 4 and version 5 of Kerberos
are publicly available and commercial implementations have been
developed and are widely used. Details on the differences between
Kerberos Versions 4 and 5 can be found in [KNT94].
D. Notational Differences from [KCLAR]
[ possible point for discussion ]
[KCLAR] uses notational conventions slightly different from this
document. As a derivative of RFC 1510, the text of [KCLAR] uses C-
language style identifier names for defined values. In ASN.1
notation, identifiers referencing defined values must begin with a
lowercase letter and contain hyphen (-) characters rather than
underscore (_) characters, while identifiers referencing types begin
with an uppercase letter. [KCLAR] and RFC 1510 use all-uppercase
identifiers with underscores to identify defined values. This has
the potential to create confusion, but neither document defines
values using actual ASN.1 value-assignment notation.
It is debatable whether it is advantageous to write all identifier
names (regardless of their ASN.1 token type) in all-uppercase letters
for the purpose of emphasis in running text. The alternative is to

use double-quote characters (") when ambiguity is possible.
