Recommended Reading
- Read RFC 4120
- Read
draft-ietf-krb-wg-preauth-framework(version 16 current as of 4/27/2010) - Read
src/include/krb5/preauth_plugin.h - Read
src/plugins/preauth/encrypted_challenge/*for a (tragically) comment-less implementation of a preauth plugin implemented using FAST - ghudson's quick flow overview at http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/krbdev/2010-April/008891.html
Pre-authentication Limitations
- There is no way to require that a certain preauth method is used.
- Likewise, there is also no way to indicate a preferred preauth flow (method A, then B, then C).
- FAST-based preauth (see
draft-ietf-krb-wg-preauth-framework) support is largely unimplemented from a practical usage perspective at this point.

Notes and Debugging Tips
- Define
DEBUGas part of your build to tickle logging of more info in your KDC log file (proabablykrb5kdc.log). - Include
<syslog.h>, link againstkadm5<something>and make liberal use ofkrb5_klog_syslog - Testing a FAST factor preauth plugin such as
encrypted-challenge: http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/krbdev/2010-April/008935.html - Make use of
preferred_preauth_typesin the[libdefaults]section ofkrb5.conf - Make use of Wireshark (terminal-based command is
tsharkfor those without graphical environments) for examining network traffic.
