Purpose

The focus of this project will be on creating an Audit infrastructure within MIT Kerberos to monitor security related events on the KDC. The initial set of the audible events will be identified.

Requirements

The new audit system should be:

• build-time enabled;
• run-time pluggable;
• simple, so it could be easily replaced with the OS specific implementations;
• if possible, prepare i18n- and l10n-ready log messages.

Events

This section details the categories of the auditable events and the associated information.

Audit module loaded/unloaded

Startup and shutdown of the audit system must be recorded by audit system;

KDC started/stopped

KDC startup - KDC clockskew, list of realms and ports, location and names of the plugins, the values of allow_weak_crypto, kdc_req_sumtype, default_ap_req_sumtype and default_safe_sumtype from configuration files;

KDC stopped - no additional information;

AS exchange

kdc time timestamp,client's and server's flags and unparsed names, port number, ticket start, end and renew until times and flags, requested enckey types and used session enckey type, pre-auth type requested and used, KDC status message;

TGS exchange

TGS

Successful or unsuccessful attempt - kdc time and authtime timestamps, unparsed client, server, 2nd client and s4u names, port number, client's enckey types and flags, used session enckey type, is referral, is constrained delegation, is protocol transition, was ticket renewed, KDC status message;

Alternative TGS

Successful or unsuccessful attempt - kdc time and authtime timestamps, unparsed client, server and alternate server, KDC status message;

Cross-realm TGS

Successful or unsuccessful attempt - kdc time and authtime timestamps, unparsed client, server, cross-realm, KDC status message;

U2U TGS

Successful attempt - kdc time and authtime timestamps, unparsed client, server and second client, KDC status message

Session keys

AS and TGS exchange session key generation;

AS and TGS exchange session key cleaning;

Policy

Policies violation when processing requests - TBD;

AS request

TGS request

S4U2PROXY request

Configuration

The following ./configure options are added:

--enable-audit[=yes/no]

Enable audit plugin. By default at build time audit is disabled.

--with-audit-plugin=simple

(For demo and testing purposes) Build the audit plugin "simple" and enable audit plugin.

Ticket ID

We need to introduce the concept of ticket ID (perhaps, session key hash) that would allow to associate events on multiple services with the original TGT. TODO.

Test implementation

We will use libaudit module available on Fedora, Debian, Suse for the first round.

Some "simple" audit plugin will be implemented and Python test system will become aware of its existence. New ./configure --with-audit-plugin option will be introduced to build "simple" audit plugin for testing purpose. If audit is enabled and audit plugin is available, "make check" will store audit messages into audit log file.
