Latest revision as of 09:28, 5 June 2013

This is an early stage project for MIT Kerberos. It is being fleshed out by its proponents. Feel free to help flesh out the details of this project. After the project is ready, it will be presented for review and approval.


Purpose

To keep track of the various tasks that need to be documented such as function documentation, administration, troubleshooting etc.


Application development

task Proposed Author Target Date Reviewer Reviewer Comments
Designing a new protocol, or extending existing one, to use GSS-API
Choosing security API
  • GSS-API vs SASL vs KRB5
  • A guide to the similarities and differences between Heimdal and MIT Kerberos API
GSS-API
  • A basic introduction to GSS-API, making use of the sample client and server, with special attention paid to Kerberos-related GSS-API issues
  • How to tell the GSS-API library on the client side where the existing Kerberos ticket cache is
  • How to write mechanism-independent GSS-API code
  • A guide to GSS-API naming as compared to Kerberos principal naming
  • Using IAKERB
  • Delegating credentials
 GH 2012-10-01
  • Available extensions
  • Thread safety
 KR
  • Validating the flags set on the connection to ensure things like mutual authentication, confidentiality, integrity, replay protection, and sequence protection
Krb5 library guide
  • Kerberos prompter behavior
  • An introduction to ticket caches and keytabs and their corresponding APIs
KR under review
  • An advanced guide to the pre-auth mechanisms, FAST
  • An advanced guide to the principal manipulation and parsing
 TY TBD
  • Thread safety
 KR
  • Password change including the automatic internal support for password change on expired passwords if a prompter is provided
  • krb5_appdefault_* functions and their alternatives
