Shishi is an implementation of the Kerberos 5 network authentication system, as specified in RFC 4120. Shishi can be used to authenticate users in distributed systems.
Shishi contains a library ('libshishi') that can be used by application developers to add support for Kerberos 5. Shishi contains a command line utility ('shishi') that is used by users to acquire and manage tickets (and more). The server side, a Key Distribution Center, is implemented by 'shishid'. Of course, a manual documenting usage aspects as well as the programming API is included.
Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, pre-authentication, the AP exchange for performing client and server authentication, and SAFE/PRIV for integrity/privacy protected application data exchanges.
Shishi is internationalized; error and status messages can be translated into the users' language; user name and passwords can be converted into any available character set (normally including ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8) and also be processed using an experimental Stringprep profile.
Most, if not all, of the widely used encryption and checksum types are supported, such as 3DES, AES, ARCFOUR and HMAC-SHA1.
Shishi is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 platforms including most major Unix platforms and Windows, and many kind of devices including iPAQ handhelds and S/390 mainframes.
Shishi is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 or later.
This manual documents the Shishi application and library programming interface. All commands, functions and data types provided by Shishi are explained.
The reader is assumed to possess basic familiarity with network security and the Kerberos 5 security system.
This manual can be used in several ways. If read from the beginning to the end, it gives a good introduction into the library and how it can be used in an application. Forward references are included where necessary. Later on, the manual can be used as a reference manual to get just the information needed about any particular interface of the library. Experienced programmers might want to start looking at the examples at the end of the manual, and then only read up on those parts of the interface which are unclear.
Shishi might have a couple of advantages over other packages doing a similar job.
Shishi is far from feature complete, it is not even a full RFC 1510 implementation yet. However, some basic functionality is implemented. A few implemented feature are mentioned below.
The following table summarize what the current objectives are (i.e., the todo list) and an estimate on how long it will take to implement the feature, including some reasonable startup-time to get familiar with Shishi in general. If you like to start working on anything, please let me know so work duplication can be avoided.
This section describes RFC 1510 from a protocol point of view1.
Kerberos provides a means of verifying the identities of principals, (e.g., a workstation user or a network server) on an open (unprotected) network. This is accomplished without relying on authentication by the host operating system, without basing trust on host addresses, without requiring physical security of all the hosts on the network, and under the assumption that packets traveling along the network can be read, modified, and inserted at will. (Note, however, that many applications use Kerberos' functions only upon the initiation of a stream-based network connection, and assume the absence of any "hijackers" who might subvert such a connection. Such use implicitly trusts the host addresses involved.) Kerberos performs authentication under these conditions as a trusted third- party authentication service by using conventional cryptography, i.e., shared secret key. (shared secret key - Secret and private are often used interchangeably in the literature. In our usage, it takes two (or more) to share a secret, thus a shared DES key is a secret key. Something is only private when no one but its owner knows it. Thus, in public key cryptosystems, one has a public and a private key.)
The authentication process proceeds as follows: A client sends a request to the authentication server (AS) requesting "credentials" for a given server. The AS responds with these credentials, encrypted in the client's key. The credentials consist of 1) a "ticket" for the server and 2) a temporary encryption key (often called a "session key"). The client transmits the ticket (which contains the client's identity and a copy of the session key, all encrypted in the server's key) to the server. The session key (now shared by the client and server) is used to authenticate the client, and may optionally be used to authenticate the server. It may also be used to encrypt further communication between the two parties or to exchange a separate sub-session key to be used to encrypt further communication.
The implementation consists of one or more authentication servers running on physically secure hosts. The authentication servers maintain a database of principals (i.e., users and servers) and their secret keys. Code libraries provide encryption and implement the Kerberos protocol. In order to add authentication to its transactions, a typical network application adds one or two calls to the Kerberos library, which results in the transmission of the necessary messages to achieve authentication.
The Kerberos protocol consists of several sub-protocols (or exchanges). There are two methods by which a client can ask a Kerberos server for credentials. In the first approach, the client sends a cleartext request for a ticket for the desired server to the AS. The reply is sent encrypted in the client's secret key. Usually this request is for a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) which can later be used with the ticket-granting server (TGS). In the second method, the client sends a request to the TGS. The client sends the TGT to the TGS in the same manner as if it were contacting any other application server which requires Kerberos credentials. The reply is encrypted in the session key from the TGT.
Once obtained, credentials may be used to verify the identity of the principals in a transaction, to ensure the integrity of messages exchanged between them, or to preserve privacy of the messages. The application is free to choose whatever protection may be necessary.
To verify the identities of the principals in a transaction, the client transmits the ticket to the server. Since the ticket is sent "in the clear" (parts of it are encrypted, but this encryption doesn't thwart replay) and might be intercepted and reused by an attacker, additional information is sent to prove that the message was originated by the principal to whom the ticket was issued. This information (called the authenticator) is encrypted in the session key, and includes a timestamp. The timestamp proves that the message was recently generated and is not a replay. Encrypting the authenticator in the session key proves that it was generated by a party possessing the session key. Since no one except the requesting principal and the server know the session key (it is never sent over the network in the clear) this guarantees the identity of the client.
The integrity of the messages exchanged between principals can also be guaranteed using the session key (passed in the ticket and contained in the credentials). This approach provides detection of both replay attacks and message stream modification attacks. It is accomplished by generating and transmitting a collision-proof checksum (elsewhere called a hash or digest function) of the client's message, keyed with the session key. Privacy and integrity of the messages exchanged between principals can be secured by encrypting the data to be passed using the session key passed in the ticket, and contained in the credentials.
Shishi implements several of the standard cryptographic primitives. In this section we give the names of the supported encryption suites, and some notes about them, and their associated checksum suite.
Statements such as “it is weak” should be read as meaning that there is no credible security analysis of the mechanism available, and/or that should an attack be published publicly, few people would likely be surprised. Also keep in mind that the key size mentioned is the actual key size, not the effective key space as far as a brute force attack is concerned.
As you may infer from the descriptions, there is currently no encryption algorithm and only one checksum algorithm that inspire great confidence in its design. Hopefully this will change over time.
NULLNULL is a dummy encryption suite for debugging. Encryption and
decryption are identity functions. No integrity protection. It is
weak. It is associated with the NULL checksum.
arcfour-hmacarcfour-hmac-exparcfour-hmac-* are a proprietary stream cipher with 56 bit
(arcfour-hmac-exp) or 128 bit (arcfour-hmac) keys, used
in a proprietary way described in an expired IETF draft
draft-brezak-win2k-krb-rc4-hmac-04.txt. Deriving keys from
passwords is supported, and is done by computing a message digest
(MD4) of a 16-bit Unicode representation of the ASCII password, with
no salt. Data is integrity protected with a keyed hash (HMAC-MD5),
where the key is derived from the base key in a creative way. It is
weak. It is associated with the arcfour-hmac-md5 checksum.
des-cbc-nonedes-cbc-none is DES encryption and decryption with 56 bit keys
and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode, using a zero IV. The keys can be
derived from passwords by an obscure application specific algorithm.
It is weak, because it offers no integrity protection. This is
typically only used by RFC 1964 GSS-API implementations (which try to
protect integrity using an ad-hoc solution). It is associated with
the NULL checksum.
des-cbc-crcdes-cbc-crc is DES encryption and decryption with 56 bit keys
and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode, using the key as IV (see Key as initialization vector). The keys can be derived from passwords by an
obscure application specific algorithm. Data is integrity protected
with an unkeyed but encrypted CRC32-like checksum. It is
weak. It is associated with the rsa-md5-des checksum.
des-cbc-md4des-cbc-md4 is DES encryption and decryption with 56 bit keys
and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode, using a zero IV. The keys can be
derived from passwords by an obscure application specific algorithm.
Data is integrity protected with an unkeyed but encrypted MD4 hash.
It is weak. It is associated with the rsa-md4-des checksum.
des-cbc-md5des-cbc-md5 is DES encryption and decryption with 56 bit keys
and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode, using a zero IV. The keys can be
derived from passwords by an obscure application specific algorithm.
Data is integrity protected with an unkeyed but encrypted MD5 hash.
It is weak. It is associated with the rsa-md5-des checksum.
This is the strongest RFC 1510 interoperable encryption mechanism.
des3-cbc-nonedes3-cbc-none is DES encryption and decryption with three 56
bit keys (effective key size 112 bits) and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode.
The keys can be derived from passwords by the same algorithm as
des3-cbc-sha1-kd. It is weak, because it offers no integrity
protection. This is typically only used by GSS-API implementations
(which try to protect integrity using an ad-hoc solution) for
interoperability with some existing Kerberos GSS implementations. It
is associated with the NULL checksum.
des3-cbc-sha1-kddes3-cbc-sha1-kd is DES encryption and decryption with three 56
bit keys (effective key size 112 bits) and 8 byte blocks in CBC mode.
The keys can be derived from passwords by a algorithm based on the
paper "A Better Key Schedule For DES-like Ciphers"
2 by
Uri Blumenthal and Steven M. Bellovin (it is not clear if the
algorithm, and the way it is used, is used by any other protocols,
although it seems unlikely). Data is integrity protected with a keyed
SHA1 hash in HMAC mode. It has no security proof, but is assumed to
provide adequate security in the sense that knowledge on how to crack
it is not known to the public. Note that the key derivation function
is not widely used outside of Kerberos, hence not widely studied. It
is associated with the hmac-sha1-des3-kd checksum.
aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 and aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 is
AES encryption and decryption with 128 bit and 256 bit key,
respectively, and 16 byte blocks in CBC mode with Cipher Text
Stealing. Cipher Text Stealing means data length of encrypted data is
preserved (pure CBC add up to 7 pad characters). The keys can be
derived from passwords with RSA Laboratories PKCS#5 Password Based Key
Derivation Function
23,
which is allegedly provably secure in a random oracle model. Data is
integrity protected with a keyed SHA1 hash, in HMAC mode, truncated to
96 bits. There is no security proof, but the schemes are assumed to
provide adequate security in the sense that knowledge on how to crack
them is not known to the public. Note that AES has yet to receive the
test of time, and the AES cipher encryption mode (CBC with Ciphertext
Stealing, and a non-standard IV output) is not widely standardized
(hence not widely studied). It is associated with the
hmac-sha1-96-aes128 and hmac-sha1-96-aes256 checksums,
respectively.
The protocol do not include any way to negotiate which checksum mechanisms to use, so in most cases the associated checksum will be used. However, checksum mechanisms can be used with other encryption mechanisms, as long as they are compatible in terms of key format etc. Here are the names of the supported checksum mechanisms, with some notes on their status and the compatible encryption mechanisms. They are ordered by increased security as perceived by the author.
NULLNULL is a dummy checksum suite for debugging. It provides no
integrity. It is weak. It is compatible with the NULL
encryption mechanism.
arcfour-hmac-md5arcfour-hmac-md5 is a keyed HMAC-MD5 checksum computed on a MD5
message digest, in turn computed on a four byte message type indicator
concatenated with the application data. (The arcfour
designation is thus somewhat misleading, but since this checksum
mechanism is described in the same document as the arcfour
encryption mechanisms, it is not a completely unnatural designation.)
It is weak. It is compatible with all encryption mechanisms.
rsa-md4rsa-md4 is a unkeyed MD4 hash computed over the message. It is
weak, because it is unkeyed. However applications can, with care, use
it non-weak ways (e.g., by including the hash in other messages that
are protected by other means). It is compatible with all encryption
mechanisms.
rsa-md4-desrsa-md4-des is a DES CBC encryption of one block of random data
and a unkeyed MD4 hash computed over the random data and the message
to integrity protect. The key used is derived from the base protocol
key by XOR with a constant. It is weak. It is compatible with the
des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-md5 encryption
mechanisms.
rsa-md5rsa-md5 is a unkeyed MD5 hash computed over the message. It is
weak, because it is unkeyed. However applications can, with care, use
it non-weak ways (e.g., by including the hash in other messages that
are protected by other means). It is compatible with all encryption
mechanisms.
rsa-md5-desrsa-md5-des is a DES CBC encryption of one block of random data
and a unkeyed MD5 hash computed over the random data and the message
to integrity protect. The key used is derived from the base protocol
key by XOR with a constant. It is weak. It is compatible with the
des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-md5 encryption
mechanisms.
hmac-sha1-des3-kdhmac-sha1-des3-kd is a keyed SHA1 hash in HMAC mode computed
over the message. The key is derived from the base protocol by the
simplified key derivation function (similar to the password key
derivation functions of des3-cbc-sha1-kd, which does not appear
to be widely used outside Kerberos and hence not widely studied). It
has no security proof, but is assumed to provide good security. The
weakest part is likely the proprietary key derivation function. It is
compatible with the des3-cbc-sha1-kd encryption mechanism.
hmac-sha1-96-aes128hmac-sha1-96-aes256hmac-sha1-96-aes* are keyed SHA1 hashes in HMAC mode computed
over the message and then truncated to 96 bits. The key is derived
from the base protocol by the simplified key derivation function
(similar to the password key derivation functions of
aes*-cts-hmac-sha1-96, i.e., PKCS#5). It has no security
proof, but is assumed to provide good security. It is compatible with
the aes*-cts-hmac-sha1-96 encryption mechanisms.
Several of the cipher suites have long names that can be hard to memorize. For your convenience, the following short-hand aliases exists. They can be used wherever the full encryption names are used.

If your company provides support related to Shishi and would like to be mentioned here, contact the author (see Bug Reports).
The package can be downloaded from several places, including:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/shishi/
The latest version is stored in a file, e.g., ‘shishi-1.0.2.tar.gz’ where the ‘1.0.2’ indicate the highest version number.
The package is then extracted, configured and built like many other packages that use Autoconf. For detailed information on configuring and building it, refer to the INSTALL file that is part of the distribution archive.
Here is an example terminal session that download, configure, build and install the package. You will need a few basic tools, such as ‘sh’, ‘make’ and ‘cc’.
$ wget -q ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/shishi/shishi-1.0.2.tar.gz
$ tar xfz shishi-1.0.2.tar.gz
$ cd shishi-1.0.2/
$ ./configure
...
$ make
...
$ make install
...
After this you should be prepared to continue with the user, administration or programming manual, depending on how you want to use Shishi.
A few configure options may be relevant, summarized in the
table.
--disable-des--disable-3des--disable-aes--disable-md--disable-null--disable-arcfour--disable-starttls--without-stringprepFor the complete list, refer to the output from configure
--help.
If you think you have found a bug in Shishi, please investigate it and report it.
Please make an effort to produce a self-contained report, with something definite that can be tested or debugged. Vague queries or piecemeal messages are difficult to act on and don't help the development effort.
If your bug report is good, we will do our best to help you to get a corrected version of the software; if the bug report is poor, we won't do anything about it (apart from asking you to send better bug reports).
If you think something in this manual is unclear, or downright incorrect, or if the language needs to be improved, please also send a note.
Send your bug report to:
If you want to submit a patch for inclusion – from solve a typo you discovered, up to adding support for a new feature – you should submit it as a bug report (see Bug Reports). There are some things that you can do to increase the chances for it to be included in the official package.
Unless your patch is very small (say, under 10 lines) we require that you assign the copyright of your work to the Free Software Foundation. This is to protect the freedom of the project. If you have not already signed papers, we will send you the necessary information when you submit your contribution.
For contributions that doesn't consist of actual programming code, the only guidelines are common sense. Use it.
For code contributions, a number of style guides will help you:
If you normally code using another coding standard, there is no problem, but you should use ‘indent’ to reformat the code (see GNU Indent) before submitting your work.
Usually Shishi interacts with you to get some initial authentication
information like a password, and then contacts a server to receive a
so called ticket granting ticket. From now on, you rarely interact
with Shishi directly. Applications that need security services
instruct the Shishi library to use the ticket granting ticket to get
new tickets for various servers. An example could be if you log on to
a host remotely via ‘telnet’. The host usually requires
authentication before permitting you in. The ‘telnet’ client
uses the ticket granting ticket to get a ticket for the server, and
then uses this ticket to authenticate you against the server (typically
the server is also authenticated to you). You perform the initial
authentication by typing shishi at the prompt. Sometimes it
is necessary to supply options telling Shishi what your principal name
(user name in the Kerberos realm) or your realm is. In the example, I
specify the client name simon@JOSEFSSON.ORG.
$ shishi simon@JOSEFSSON.ORG

As you can see, Shishi also prints a short description of the ticket received.

As you can see, I had a ticket for the server ‘host/latte.josefsson.org’ which was generated by ‘telnet’:ing to that host.
If, for some reason, you want to manually get a ticket for a specific server, you can use the shishi --server-name command. Normally, however, the application that uses Shishi will take care of getting a ticket for the appropriate server, so you normally wouldn't need to issue this command.

$
As you can see, I acquired a ticket for ‘user/billg’ with a ‘des-cbc-md4’ (see Cryptographic Overview) encryption key specified with the ‘--encryption-type’ parameter.
To wrap up this introduction, let us see how you can remove tickets. You may want to do this if you leave your terminal for lunch or similar, and don't want someone to be able to copy the file and then use your credentials. Note that this only destroys the tickets locally, it does not contact any server telling that these credentials are no longer valid. So, if someone stole your ticket file, you must still contact your administrator and have them reset your account. Simply using this switch is not sufficient.
$ shishi --server-name=imap/latte.josefsson.org --destroy
1 ticket removed.
$ shishi --server-name=foobar --destroy
No tickets removed.
$ shishi --destroy
3 tickets removed.
$
Since the ‘--server-name’ parameter takes a long string to type, it is possible to type the server name directly, after the client name. The following example demonstrates an AS-REQ followed by a TGS-REQ for a specific server (assuming you did not have any tickets to begin with).

Refer to the reference manual for all available parameters (see Parameters for shishi). The rest of this section contains descriptions of more specialized usage modes that can be ignored by most users.
At times 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 purpose 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 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 are usually valid from only those network addresses specifically included in the ticket[4]. 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.
Here is how you would acquire a PROXY ticket for the service ‘imap/latte.josefsson.org’:

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 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.
Here is how you would acquire a FORWARDED ticket for the service ‘host/latte.josefsson.org’:
$ shishi jas@JOSEFSSON.ORG host/latte.josefsson.org --forwarded
Enter password for `jas@JOSEFSSON.ORG':

Here you will learn how to set up, run and maintain the Shishi Kerberos server. Kerberos is incompatible with the standard Unix /etc/passwd password database4, therefore the first step will be to create a Kerberos user database. Shishi's user database system is called Shisa. Once Shisa has been configured, you can then start the server and begin issuing Kerberos tickets to your users. The Shishi server is called shishid. After getting the server up and running, we discuss how you can set up multiple Kerberos servers, to increase availability or offer load-balancing. Finally, we include some information intended for developers, that will enable you to customize Shisa to use an external user database, such as a LDAP server or SQL database.
The user database part of Shishi is called Shisa. The Shisa library is independent of the core Shishi library. Shisa is responsible for storing the name of your realms, the name of your principals (users), accounting information for the users (i.e., when each account starts to be valid and when it expires), and the cryptographic keys each user has. Some Kerberos internal data can also be stored, such as the key version number, the last dates for when various ticket requests were made, the cryptographic salt, string-to-key parameters and password for each user. Not all information need to be stored. For example, in some situations it is prudent to leave the password field empty, so that somebody who manages to steal the user database will only be able to compromise your system, and not any other systems were your user may have re-used the same password. On the other hand, you may already be storing the password in your customized database, in which case being able to change it via the Shisa interface can be useful.
Shisa is a small (a few thousand lines of C code) standalone library. Shisa does not depend on the Shishi library. Because a user database with passwords may be useful for other applications as well (e.g., GNU SASL), it might be separated into its own project later on. You should keep this in mind, so that you don't consider writing a Shisa backend for your own database as a purely Shishi specific project. You can, for example, choose to use the Shisa interface in your own applications to have a simple interface to your user database. Your experience and feedback is appreciated if you have chosen to explore this.
Note that the Shisa database does not expose everything you may want to know about a user, such as its full human name, telephone number or even the user's login account name or home directory. It only stores what is needed to authenticate a peer claiming to be an entity. Thus it does not make sense to replace your current user database or /etc/passwd with data derived from the Shisa database. Instead, it is intended that you write a Shisa backend that exports some of the information stored in your user database. You may be able to replace some existing functionality, such as the password field in /etc/passwd with a Kerberos PAM module, but there is no requirement for doing so.
The configuration file for Shisa is typically stored in /usr/local/etc/shishi/shisa.conf. You do not have to modify this file, the defaults should be acceptable to first-time users. The file is used to define where your user database resides, and some options such as making the database read-only, or whether errors detected when accessing the database should be ignored. (The latter could be useful if the server is a remote LDAP server that might be unavailable, and then you would want to fall back to a local copy of the database.)
The default will store the user database using directories and files, rooted by default in /usr/local/var/shishi. You can use standard file permission settings to control access to the directory hierarchy. It is strongly recommended to restrict access to the directory. Storing the directory on local storage, i.e., hard disk or removable media, is recommended. We discourage placing the database on a network file system, but realize this can be useful in some situations (see Multiple servers).
See the reference manual (see Shisa Configuration) for the details of the configuration file. Again, you are not expected to need to modify anything unless you are an experienced Shishi administrator.
There is a command line interface to the Shisa library, aptly named shisa. You will use this tool to add, remove, and change information stored in the database about realms, principals, and keys. The tool can also be used to “dump” all information in the database, for backup or debugging purposes. (Currently the output format cannot be read by any tool, but functionality to do this will be added in the future, possibly as a read-only file-based Shisa database backend.)
The reference manual (see Parameters for shisa) explains all parameters, but here we will give you a walk-through of the typical uses of the tool.
Installing Shishi usually creates a realm with two principals: one ticket granting ticket for the realm, and one host key for the server. This is what you typically need to get started, but it doesn't serve our purposes, so we start by removing the principals and the realm. To do that, we need to figure out the name of the realm. The ‘--list’ or ‘--dump’ parameters can be used for this. (Most “long” parameters, like ‘--dump’, have shorter names as well, in this case ‘-d’, Parameters for shisa).

The realm names are printed at column 0, the principal names are indented with one ‘TAB’ character (aka ‘\t’ or ASCII 0x09 Horizontal Tabulation), and the information about each principal is indented with two ‘TAB’ characters. The above output means that there is one realm ‘latte’ with two principals: ‘krbtgt/latte’ (which is used to authenticate Kerberos ticket requests) and ‘host/latte’ (used to authenticate host-based applications like Telnet). They were created during ‘make install’ on a host called ‘latte’.
If the installation did not create a default database for you, you might get an error similar to the following output.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -d
shisa: Cannot initialize `file' database backend.
Location `/usr/local/var/shishi' and options `N/A'.
shisa: Initialization failed:
Shisa database could not be opened.
jas@latte:~$
This indicates that the database does not exist. For a file database, you can create it simply by creating the directory, as follows. Note the access permission change with ‘chmod’. Typically the ‘root’ user would own the files, but as these examples demonstrate, setting up a Kerberos server does not require root access. Indeed, it may be prudent to run all Shishi applications as a special non-‘root’ user, and have all Shishi related files owned by that user, so that any security vulnerabilities do not lead to a system compromise. (However, if the user database is ever stolen, system compromises of other systems may be inoccured, should you use, e.g., a kerberized Telnet.)
jas@latte:~$ mkdir /usr/local/var/shishi
jas@latte:~$ chmod go-rwx /usr/local/var/shishi
Back to the first example, where you have a realm ‘latte’ with some principals. We want to remove the realm to demonstrate how you create the realm from scratch. (Of course, you can have more than one realm in the database, but for this example we assume you want to set up a realm named the same as Shishi guessed you would name it, so the existing realm need to be removed first.) The ‘--remove’ (short form ‘-r’) parameter is used for this purpose, as follows.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -r latte host/latte
Removing principal `host/latte@latte'...
Removing principal `host/latte@latte'...done
jas@latte:~$ shisa -r latte krbtgt/latte
Removing principal `krbtgt/latte@latte'...
Removing principal `krbtgt/latte@latte'...done
jas@latte:~$ shisa -r latte
Removing realm `latte'...
Removing realm `latte'...done
jas@latte:~$
You may be asking yourself “What if the realm has many more principals?”. If you fear manual labor (or a small ‘sed’ script, recall the format of ‘--list’?), don't worry, there is a ‘--force’ (short form ‘-f’) flag. Use it with care. Here is a faster way to do the above:
jas@latte:~$ shisa -r latte -f
Removing principal `krbtgt/latte@latte'...
Removing principal `krbtgt/latte@latte'...done
Removing principal `host/latte@latte'...
Removing principal `host/latte@latte'...done
Removing realm `latte'...
Removing realm `latte'...done
jas@latte:~$
You should now have a working, but empty, Shisa database. Let's set
up the realm manually, step by step. The first step is to decide on
a name for your realm. The full story is explained elsewhere
(see Realm and Principal Naming), but the short story is to take
your DNS domain name and translate it to upper case. For
example, if your organization uses example.org it is a good
idea to use EXAMPLE.ORG as the name of your Kerberos realm.
We'll use EXAMPLE.ORG as the realm name in these examples.
Let's create the realm.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -a EXAMPLE.ORG
Adding realm `EXAMPLE.ORG'...
Adding realm `EXAMPLE.ORG'...done
jas@latte:~$
Currently, there are no properties associated with entire realms. In the future, it may be possible to set a default realm-wide password expiry policy or similar. Each realm normally has one principal that is used for authenticating against the “ticket granting service” on the Kerberos server with a ticket instead of using the password. This is used by the user when she acquire a ticket for a server. The principal must look like ‘krbtgt/REALM’ (see Name of the TGS). Let's create it.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -a EXAMPLE.ORG krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG
Adding principal `krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG@EXAMPLE.ORG'...
Adding principal `krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG@EXAMPLE.ORG'...done
jas@latte:~$
Now that wasn't difficult, although not very satisfying either. What does adding a principal mean? The name is created, obviously, but it also means setting a few values in the database. Let's view the entry to find out which values.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -d
EXAMPLE.ORG
krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG
Account is enabled.
Current key version 0 (0x0).
Key 0 (0x0).
Etype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 (0x12, 18).
Salt EXAMPLE.ORGkrbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG.
jas@latte:~$
To use host based security services like SSH or Telnet with Kerberos, each host must have a key shared between the host and the KDC. The key is typically stored in /usr/local/etc/shishi/shishi.keys. We assume your server is called ‘mail.example.org’ and we create the principal. To illustrate a new parameter, we also set the specific algorithm to use by using the ‘--encryption-type’ (short form ‘-E’) parameter.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -a EXAMPLE.ORG host/mail.example.org -E des3
Adding principal `host/mail.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG'...
Adding principal `host/mail.example.org@EXAMPLE.ORG'...done
jas@latte:~$
To export the key, there is another Shisa parameter ‘--keys’ that will print the key in a format that is recognized by Shishi. Let's use it to print the host key.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -d --keys EXAMPLE.ORG host/mail.example.org
EXAMPLE.ORG
host/mail.example.org
Account is enabled.
Current key version 0 (0x0).
Key 0 (0x0).
Etype des3-cbc-sha1-kd (0x10, 16).

Realm: EXAMPLE.ORG
iQdA8hxdvOUHZNliZJv7noM02rXHV8gq
-----END SHISHI KEY-----
Salt EXAMPLE.ORGhost/mail.example.org.
jas@latte:~$
So to set up the host, simply redirect output to the host key file.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -d --keys EXAMPLE.ORG \
host/mail.example.org >> /usr/local/etc/shishi/shishi.keys
jas@latte:~$
The next logical step is to create a principal for some user, so you can use your password to get a Ticket Granting Ticket via the Authentication Service (AS) from the KDC, and then use the Ticket Granting Service (TGS) from the KDC to get a ticket for a specific host, and then send that ticket to the host to authenticate yourself. Creating this end-user principle is slightly different from the earlier steps, because you want the key to be derived from a password instead of being a random key. The ‘--password’ parameter indicate this. This make the tool ask you for the password.
jas@latte:~$ shisa -a EXAMPLE.ORG simon --password
Password for `simon@EXAMPLE.ORG':
Adding principal `simon@EXAMPLE.ORG'...
Adding principal `simon@EXAMPLE.ORG'...done
jas@latte:~$
The only special thing about this principal now is that it has a

You should now be ready to start the KDC, which is explained in the next section (see Starting Shishid), and get tickets as explained earlier (see User Manual).
The Shishi server, or Key Distribution Center (KDC), is called Shishid. Shishid is responsible for listening on UDP and TCP ports for Kerberos requests. Currently it can handle initial ticket requests (Authentication Service, or AS), typically authenticated with keys derived from passwords, and subsequent ticket requests (Ticket Granting Service, or TGS), typically authenticated with the key acquired during an AS exchange.
Currently there is very little configuration available, the only
variables are which ports the server should listen on and an optional
user name to setuid into after successfully listening to the
ports.
By default, Shishid listens on the ‘kerberos’ service port (typically translated to 88 via /etc/services) on the UDP and TCP transports via IPv4 and (if your machine support it) IPv6 on all interfaces on your machine. Here is a typical startup.
latte:/home/jas/src/shishi# /usr/local/sbin/shishid
Initializing GNUTLS...

Listening on IPv6:*:kerberos/tcp...failed
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Listening on 2 ports...
Running as root is not recommended. Any security problem in shishid and your host may be compromised. Therefor, we recommend using the ‘--setuid’ parameter, as follows.
latte:/home/jas/src/shishi# /usr/local/sbin/shishid --setuid=jas
Initializing GNUTLS...
Initializing GNUTLS...done
Listening on IPv4:*:kerberos/udp...done

socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Listening on IPv6:*:kerberos/tcp...failed
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Listening on 2 ports...
User identity set to `jas' (22541)...
An alternative is to run shishid on an alternative port as a
non-privileged user. To continue the example of setting up the
EXAMPLE.ORG realm as a non-privileged user from the preceding
section, we start the server listen on port 4711 via UDP on IPv4.
jas@latte:~$ /usr/local/sbin/shishid -l IPv4:*:4711/udp
Initializing GNUTLS...
Initializing GNUTLS...done
Listening on *:4711/tcp...
Listening on 1 ports...
shishid: Starting (GNUTLS `1.0.4')
shishid: Listening on *:4711/tcp socket 4
If you have set up the Shisa database as in the previous example, you can now acquire tickets as follows.
jas@latte:~$ shishi -o 'realm-kdc=EXAMPLE.ORG,localhost:4711' \
simon@EXAMPLE.ORG
Enter password for `simon@EXAMPLE.ORG':

Ticket flags: FORWARDED PROXIABLE RENEWABLE INITIAL (12)
jas@latte:~$
The output from Shishid on a successful invocation would look like:

shishid: Processing 131 from *:4711/udp on socket 4
shishid: Trying AS-REQ

You may use the '-v' parameter for Shishid and Shishi to generate more debugging information.
To illustrate what an application, such as the Shishi patched versions of GNU lsh or Telnet from GNU InetUtils, would do when contacting the host ‘mail.example.org’ we illustrate using the TGS service as well.

This conclude our walk-through of setting up a new Kerberos realm using Shishi. It is quite likely that one or more steps failed, and if so we encourage you to debug it and submit a patch, or at least report it as a problem. Heck, even letting us know if you got this far would be of interest. See Bug Reports.
Making sure the configuration files on all hosts running Shishi clients include the addresses of your server is tedious. If the configuration files do not mention the KDC address for a realm, Shishi will try to look up the information from DNS. In order for Shishi to find that information, you need to add the information to DNS. For this to work well, you need to set up a DNS zone with the same name as your Kerberos realm. The easiest is if you own the publicly visible DNS name, such as ‘example.org’ if your realm is ‘EXAMPLE.ORG’, but you can set up an internal DNS server with the information for your realm only. If this is done, you do not need to keep configuration files updated for the KDC addressing information.
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 but is case preserving for responses to TXT queries. Since "MYREALM", "myrealm", and "MyRealm" are all different it is necessary that only one of the possible combinations of upper and lower case characters be used. This restriction may be lifted in the future as the DNS naming scheme is expanded to support non-ASCII names.
KDC location information is to be stored using the DNS SRV RR [RFC 2052]. 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 either "_udp", "_tcp", or "_tls._tcp". If these SRV records are to be used, a "_udp" record MUST be included. If the Kerberos implementation supports TCP transport, a "_tcp" record MUST be included. When using "_tcp" with "_kerberos", this indicates a "raw" TCP connection without any additional encapsulation. A "_tls._tcp" record MUST be specified for all Kerberos implementations that support communication with the KDC across TCP sockets encapsulated using TLS [RFC2246] (see STARTTLS protected KDC exchanges).
The Realm is the Kerberos realm that this record corresponds to.
TTL, Class, SRV, Priority, Weight, and Target have the standard meaning as defined in RFC 2052.
As per RFC 2052 the Port number should be the value assigned to "kerberos" by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (88).
These are DNS records for a Kerberos realm ASDF.COM. It has two Kerberos servers, kdc1.asdf.com and kdc2.asdf.com. Queries should be directed to kdc1.asdf.com first as per the specified priority. Weights are not used in these records.
_kerberos._udp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 0 0 88 kdc1.asdf.com.
_kerberos._udp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 1 0 88 kdc2.asdf.com.
_kerberos._tcp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 0 0 88 kdc1.asdf.com.
_kerberos._tcp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 1 0 88 kdc2.asdf.com.
_kerberos._tls._tcp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 0 0 88 kdc1.asdf.com.
_kerberos._tls._tcp.ASDF.COM. IN SRV 1 0 88 kdc2.asdf.com.
As DNS is deployed today, it is an unsecure service. Thus the infor- mation returned by it cannot be trusted.
Current practice for REALM to KDC mapping is to use hostnames to indicate KDC hosts (stored in some implementation-dependent location, but generally a local config file). These hostnames are vulnerable to the standard set of DNS attacks (denial of service, spoofed entries, etc). The design of the Kerberos protocol limits attacks of this sort to denial of service. However, the use of SRV records does not change this attack in any way. They have the same vulnerabilities that already exist in the common practice of using hostnames for KDC locations.
Implementations SHOULD provide a way of specifying this information locally without the use of DNS. However, to make this feature worthwhile a lack of any configuration information on a client should be interpretted as permission to use DNS.
If Shishi is built with support for GNUTLS, the messages exchanged between clients and Shishid can be protected with TLS. TLS is only available over TCP connections. A full discussion of the features TLS have is out of scope here, but in short it means the communication is integrity and privacy protected, and that users can use OpenPGP, X.509 or SRP (i.e., any mechanism supported by TLS) to authenticate themselves to the Kerberos server. For details on the implementation, See STARTTLS protected KDC exchanges.
Resuming earlier TLS session is supported and enabled by default. This improves the speed of the TLS handshake, because results from earlier negotiations can be re-used. Currently the TLS resume database is stored in memory (in constract to storing it on disk), in both the client and in the server. Because the server typically runs for a long time, this is not a problem for that side. The client is typically not a long-running process though; the client usually is invoked as part of applications like ‘telnet’ or ‘login’. However, because each use of the client library typically result in a ticket, which is stored on disk and re-used by later processes, this is likely not a serious problem because the number of different tickets required by a user is usually quite small. For the client, TLS resume is typically only useful when you perform an initial authentication (using a password) followed by a ticket request for a service, in the same process.
You can configure the server, ‘shishid’ to never use TLS resume, or to increase or decrease the number of distinct TLS connections that can be resumed before they are garbage collected, see the ‘--resume-limit’ parameter (see Parameters for shishid).
Anonymous TLS is the simplest to set up and use. In fact, only the client need to be informed that your KDC support TLS. This can be done in the configuration file with the ‘/tls’ parameter for ‘kdc-realm’ (see Shishi Configuration), or by placing the KDC address in DNS using the ‘_tls’ SRV record (see Configuring DNS for KDC).
Let's start Shishid, listening on a TCP socket. TLS require TCP. TCP sockets are automatically upgraded to TLS if the client request it.

Setting up X.509 authentication is slightly more complicated than anonymous authentication. You need a X.509 certificate authority (CA) that can generate certificates for your Kerberos server and Kerberos clients. It is often easiest to setup the CA yourself. Managing a CA can be a daunting task, and we only give the bare essentials to get things up and running. We suggest that you study the relevant literature. As a first step beyond this introduction, you may wish to explore more secure forms of key storage than storing them unencrypted on disk.
The following three sections describe how you create the CA, KDC certificate, and client certificates. You can use any tool you like for this task, as long as they generate X.509 (PKIX) certificates in PEM format and RSA keys in PKCS#1 format. Here we use certtool that come with GNUTLS, which is widely available. We conclude by discussing how you use these certificates in the KDC and in the Shishi client.

Setting up multiple servers is as easy as replicating the user database. Since the default ‘file’ user database is stored in the normal file system, you can use any common tools to replicate a file system. Network file system like NFS (properly secured by, e.g., a point-to-point symmetrically encrypted IPSEC connection) and file synchronizing tools like ‘rsync’ are typical choices.
The secondary server should be configured just like the master server. If you use the ‘file’ database over NFS you do not have to make any modifications. If you use, e.g., a cron job to ‘rsync’ the directory every hour or so, you may want to add a ‘--read-only’ flag to the Shisa ‘db’ definition (see Shisa Configuration). That way, nobody will be lured into creating or changing information in the database on the secondary server, which only would be overwritten during the next synchronization.
db --read-only file /usr/local/var/backup-shishi
The ‘file’ database is designed so it doesn't require file locking in the file system, which may be unreliable in some network file systems or implementations. It is also designed so that multiple concurrent readers and writers may access the database without causing corruption.
Warning: The last paragraph is currently not completely accurate. There may be race conditions with concurrent writers. None should cause infinite loops or data loss. However, unexpected results might occur if two writers try to update information about a principal simultaneous.
If you use a remote LDAP server or SQL database to store the user database, and access it via a Shisa backend, you have make sure your Shisa backend handle concurrent writers properly. If you use a modern SQL database, this probably is not a concern. If it is a problem, you may be able to work around it by implementing some kind of synchronization or semaphore mechanism. If all else sounds too complicated, you can set up the secondary servers as ‘--read-only’ servers, although you will lose some functionality (like changing passwords via the secondary server, or updating timestamps when the last ticket request occurred).
One function that is of particular use for users with remote databases (be it LDAP or SQL) is the “database override” feature. Using this you can have the security critical principals (such as the ticket granting ticket) stored on local file system storage, but use the remote database for user principals. Of course, you must keep the local file system storage synchronized between all servers, as before. Here is an example configuration.
db --read-only file /var/local/master
db ldap kdc.example.org ca=/etc/shisa/kdc-ca.pem
This instruct the Shisa library to access the two databases sequentially, for each query using the first database that know about the requested principal. If you put the ‘krbtgt/REALM’ principal in the local ‘file’ database, this will override the LDAP interface. Naturally, you can have as many ‘db’ definition lines as you wish.
Users with remote databases can also investigate a so called High Availability mode. This is useful if you wish to have your Kerberos servers be able to continue to operate even when the remote database is offline. This is achieved via the ‘--ignore-errors’ flag in the database definition. Here is a sample configuration.
db --ignore-errors ldap kdc.example.org ca=/etc/shisa/kdc-ca.pem
db --read-only file /var/cache/ldap-copy
This instruct the Shisa library to try the LDAP backend first, but if it fails, instead of returning an error, continue to try the operation on a read only local ‘file’ based database. Of course, write requests will still fail, but it may be better than halting the server completely. To make this work, you first need to set up a cron job on a, say, hourly basis, to make a copy of the remote database and store it in the local file database. That way, when the remote server goes away, fairly current information will still be available locally.
If you also wish to experiment with read-write fail over, here is an idea for the configuration.
db --ignore-errors ldap kdc.example.org ca=/etc/shisa/kdc-ca.pem
db --ignore-errors --read-only file /var/cache/ldap-copy
db file /var/cache/local-updates
This is similar to the previous, but it will ignore errors reading and writing from the first two databases, ultimately causing write attempts to end up in the final ‘file’ based database. Of course, you would need to create tools to feed back any local updates made while the remote server was down. It may also be necessary to create a special backend for this purpose, which can auto create principals that are used.
We finish with an example that demonstrate all the ideas presented.
db --read-only file /var/local/master
db --ignore-errors ldap kdc.example.org ca=/etc/shisa/kdc-ca.pem
db --ignore-errors --read-only file /var/cache/ldap-copy
db file /var/cache/local-updates
The Programming API for Shisa is described below (see Kerberos Database Functions); this section is about extending Shisa, and consequently Shishi, to use your own user database system. You may want to store your Kerberos user information on an LDAP database server, for example.
Adding a new backend is straight forward. You need to implement the backend API function set, add the list of API functions to db/db.c and possibly also add any library dependencies to the Makefile.
The simplest way to write a new backend is to start from the existing ‘file’ based database, in db/file.c, and modify the entry points as needed.
Note that the current backend API will likely change before it is frozen. We may describe it in detail here when it has matured. However, currently it is similar to the external Shisa API (see Kerberos Database Functions).
There should be no need to modify anything else in the Shisa library, and certainly not in the Shishi library or the shishid server.
Naturally, we would appreciate if you would send us your new backend, if you believe it is generally useful (see Bug Reports).
This chapter discuss the underlying assumptions of Kerberos, contain a glossary to Kerberos concepts, give you background information on choosing realm and principal names, and describe all parameters and configuration file syntaxes for the Shishi tools.
Kerberos imposes a few assumptions on the environment in which it can properly function:
This section contains the discussion on naming realms and principals from the Kerberos specification.
Although realm names are encoded as GeneralStrings and although a realm can technically select any name it chooses, interoperability across realm boundaries requires agreement on how realm names are to be assigned, and what information they imply.
To enforce these conventions, each realm MUST conform to the conventions itself, and it MUST require that any realms with which inter-realm keys are shared also conform to the conventions and require the same from its neighbors.
Kerberos realm names are case sensitive. Realm names that differ only in the case of the characters are not equivalent. There are presently three styles of realm names: domain, X500, and other. Examples of each style follow:
domain: ATHENA.MIT.EDU
X500: C=US/O=OSF
other: NAMETYPE:rest/of.name=without-restrictions
Domain syle realm names MUST look like domain names: they consist of components separated by periods (.) and they contain neither colons (:) nor slashes (/). Though domain names themselves are case insensitive, in order for realms to match, the case must match as well. When establishing a new realm name based on an internet domain name it is recommended by convention that the characters be converted to upper case.
X.500 names contain an equal (=) and cannot contain a colon (:) before the equal. The realm names for X.500 names will be string representations of the names with components separated by slashes. Leading and trailing slashes will not be included. Note that the slash separator is consistent with Kerberos implementations based on RFC1510, but it is different from the separator recommended in RFC2253.
Names that fall into the other category MUST begin with a prefix that contains no equal (=) or period (.) and the prefix MUST be followed by a colon (:) and the rest of the name. All prefixes must be assigned before they may be used. Presently none are assigned.
The reserved category includes strings which do not fall into the first three categories. All names in this category are reserved. It is unlikely that names will be assigned to this category unless there is a very strong argument for not using the 'other' category.
These rules guarantee that there will be no conflicts between the various name styles. The following additional constraints apply to the assignment of realm names in the domain and X.500 categories: the name of a realm for the domain or X.500 formats must either be used by the organization owning (to whom it was assigned) an Internet domain name or X.500 name, or in the case that no such names are registered, authority to use a realm name MAY be derived from the authority of the parent realm. For example, if there is no domain name for E40.MIT.EDU, then the administrator of the MIT.EDU realm can authorize the creation of a realm with that name.
This is acceptable because the organization to which the parent is assigned is presumably the organization authorized to assign names to its children in the X.500 and domain name systems as well. If the parent assigns a realm name without also registering it in the domain name or X.500 hierarchy, it is the parent's responsibility to make sure that there will not in the future exist a name identical to the realm name of the child unless it is assigned to the same entity as the realm name.
As was the case for realm names, conventions are needed to ensure that all agree on what information is implied by a principal name. The name-type field that is part of the principal name indicates the kind of information implied by the name. The name-type SHOULD be treated only as a hint to interpreting the meaning of a name. It is not significant when checking for equivalence. Principal names that differ only in the name-type identify the same principal. The name type does not partition the name space. 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). The following name types are defined:
name-type value meaning
NT-UNKNOWN 0 Name type not known
NT-PRINCIPAL 1 Just the name of the principal as in DCE, or for users
NT-SRV-INST 2 Service and other unique instance (krbtgt)
NT-SRV-HST 3 Service with host name as instance (telnet, rcommands)
NT-SRV-XHST 4 Service with host as remaining components
NT-UID 5 Unique ID
NT-X500-PRINCIPAL 6 Encoded X.509 Distingished name [RFC 2253]
NT-SMTP-NAME 7 Name in form of SMTP email name (e.g. user@foo.com)
NT-ENTERPRISE 10 Enterprise name - may be mapped to principal name
When a name implies no information other than its uniqueness at a particular time the name type PRINCIPAL SHOULD be used. The principal name type SHOULD be used for users, and it might also be used for a unique server. If the name is a unique machine generated ID that is guaranteed never to be reassigned then the name type of UID SHOULD be used (note that it is generally a bad idea to reassign names of any type since stale entries might remain in access control lists).
If the first component of a name identifies a service and the remaining components identify an instance of the service in a server specified manner, then the name type of SRV-INST SHOULD be used. An example of this name type is the Kerberos ticket-granting service whose name has a first component of krbtgt and a second component identifying the realm for which the ticket is valid.
If the first component of a name identifies a service and there is a single component following the service name identifying the instance as the host on which the server is running, then the name type SRV- HST SHOULD be used. This type is typically used for Internet services such as telnet and the Berkeley R commands. If the separate components of the host name appear as successive components following the name of the service, then the name type SRV-XHST SHOULD be used. This type might be used to identify servers on hosts with X.500 names where the slash (/) might otherwise be ambiguous.
A name type of NT-X500-PRINCIPAL SHOULD be used when a name from an X.509 certificate is translated into a Kerberos name. The encoding of the X.509 name as a Kerberos principal shall conform to the encoding rules specified in RFC 2253.
A name type of SMTP allows a name to be of a form that resembles a SMTP email name. This name, including an "@" and a domain name, is used as the one component of the principal name.
A name type of UNKNOWN SHOULD be used when the form of the name is not known. When comparing names, a name of type UNKNOWN will match principals authenticated with names of any type. A principal authenticated with a name of type UNKNOWN, however, will only match other names of type UNKNOWN.
Names of any type with an initial component of 'krbtgt' are reserved for the Kerberos ticket granting service. See Name of the TGS, for the form of such names.
The principal identifier for a server on a host will generally be composed of two parts: (1) the realm of the KDC with which the server is registered, and (2) a two-component name of type NT-SRV-HST if the host name is an Internet domain name or a multi-component name of type NT-SRV-XHST if the name of the host is of a form such as X.500 that allows slash (/) separators. The first component of the two- or multi-component name will identify the service and the latter components will identify the host. Where the name of the host is not case sensitive (for example, with Internet domain names) the name of the host MUST be lower case. If specified by the application protocol for services such as telnet and the Berkeley R commands which run with system privileges, the first component MAY be the string 'host' instead of a service specific identifier.
The principal identifier of the ticket-granting service shall be composed of three parts: (1) the realm of the KDC issuing the TGS ticket (2) a two-part name of type NT-SRV-INST, with the first part "krbtgt" and the second part the name of the realm which will accept the ticket-granting ticket. For example, a ticket-granting ticket issued by the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm to be used to get tickets from the ATHENA.MIT.EDU KDC has a principal identifier of "ATHENA.MIT.EDU" (realm), ("krbtgt", "ATHENA.MIT.EDU") (name). A ticket-granting ticket issued by the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm to be used to get tickets from the MIT.EDU realm has a principal identifier of "ATHENA.MIT.EDU" (realm), ("krbtgt", "MIT.EDU") (name).
The Kerberos protocol provides the means for verifying (subject to the assumptions in Environmental Assumptions) that the entity with which one communicates is the same entity that was registered with the KDC using the claimed identity (principal name). It is still necessary to determine whether that identity corresponds to the entity with which one intends to communicate.
When appropriate data has been exchanged in advance, this determination may be performed syntactically by the application based on the application protocol specification, information provided by the user, and configuration files. For example, the server principal name (including realm) for a telnet server might be derived from the user specified host name (from the telnet command line), the "host/" prefix specified in the application protocol specification, and a mapping to a Kerberos realm derived syntactically from the domain part of the specified hostname and information from the local Kerberos realms database.
One can also rely on trusted third parties to make this determination, but only when the data obtained from the third party is suitably integrity protected while resident on the third party server and when transmitted. Thus, for example, one should not rely on an unprotected domain name system record to map a host alias to the primary name of a server, accepting the primary name as the party one intends to contact, since an attacker can modify the mapping and impersonate the party with which one intended to communicate.
Implementations of Kerberos and protocols based on Kerberos MUST NOT use insecure DNS queries to canonicalize the hostname components of the service principal names. In an environment without secure name service, application authors MAY append a statically configured domain name to unqualified hostnames before passing the name to the security mechanisms, but should do no more than that. Secure name service facilities, if available, might be trusted for hostname canonicalization, but such canonicalization by the client SHOULD NOT be required by KDC implementations.
Implementation note: Many current implementations do some degree of canonicalization of the provided service name, often using DNS even though it creates security problems. However there is no consistency among implementations about whether the service name is case folded to lower case or whether reverse resolution is used. To maximize interoperability and security, applications SHOULD provide security mechanisms with names which result from folding the user-entered name to lower case, without performing any other modifications or canonicalization.
Principal names consist of a sequence of strings, which is often tedious to parse. Therefor, Shishi often uses a “printed” form of principal which embed the entire principal name string sequence, and optionally also the realm, into one string. The format is taken from the Kerberos 5 GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964).
The elements included within this name representation are as follows, proceeding from the beginning of the string:
The valid configuration file tokens are described here. The user configuration file is typically located in ~/.shishi/shishi.conf (compare ‘shishi --configuration-file’) and the system configuration is typically located in /usr/local/etc/shishi/shishi.conf (compare ‘shishi --system-configuration-file’). If the first non white space character of a line is a '#', the line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored.
All tokens are valid in both the system and the user configuration files, and have the same meaning. However, as the system file is supposed to apply to all users on a system, it would not make sense to use some tokens in that file. For example, the ‘default-principal’ is rarely useful in a system configuration file.
Specify the default realm, by default the hostname of the host is used. E.g.,
default-realm JOSEFSSON.ORG
Specify the default principal, by default the login username is used. E.g.,
default-principal jas
Specify which encryption types client asks server to respond in during AS/TGS exchanges. List valid encryption types, in preference order. Supported algorithms include aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96, aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96, des3-cbc-sha1-kd, des-cbc-md5, des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-crc and null. This option also indicates which encryption types are accepted by the client when receiving the response. Note that the preference order is not cryptographically protected, so a man in the middle can modify the order without being detected. Thus, only specify encryption types you trust completely here. The default only includes aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96, as suggested by RFC1510bis. E.g.,
client-kdc-etypes=aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 des3-cbc-sha1-kd des-cbc-md5

Specify KDC addresses for realms. Value is ‘REALM,KDCADDRESS[/TRANSPORT][,KDCADDRESS[/TRANSPORT]...]’.
KDCADDRESS is the hostname or IP address of KDC.
Optional TRANSPORT is “udp” for UDP, “tcp” for TCP, and “tls” for TLS connections. By default UDP is tried first, and TCP used as a fallback if the KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG error is received.
If not specified, Shishi tries to locate the KDC using SRV RRs, which is recommended. This option should normally only be used during experiments, or to access badly maintained realms.
realm-kdc=JOSEFSSON.ORG,ristretto.josefsson.org
Specify realm for servers. Value is ‘REALM,SERVERREGEXP[,SERVERREGEXP...]’.
SERVERREGEXP is a regular expression matching servers in the realm. The first match is used. E.g.,
server-realm=JOSEFSSON.ORG,.josefsson.org
Note: currently not used.
How long shishi waits for a response from a KDC before continuing to next KDC for realm. The default is 5 seconds. E.g.,
kdc-timeout=10
How many times shishi sends a request to a KDC before giving up. The default is 3 times. E.g.,
kdc-retries=5
How username and passwords entered from the terminal, or taken from the command line, are processed.
"none": no processing is used.
"stringprep": convert from locale charset to UTF-8 and process using experimental RFC 1510 stringprep profile.
It can also be a string indicating a character set supported by iconv via libstringprep, in which case data is converted from locale charset into the indicated character set. E.g., UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, KOI-8, EBCDIC-IS-FRISS are supported on GNU systems. On some systems you can use "locale -m" to list available character sets. By default, the "none" setting is used which is consistent with RFC 1510 that is silent on the issue. In practice, however, converting to UTF-8 improves interoperability.
E.g.,
stringprocess=UTF-8
Specify default ticket life time.
The string can be in almost any common format. It can contain month names, time zones, `am' and `pm', `yesterday', `ago', `next', etc. See Date input formats, for the long story.
As an extra feature, if the time specified by your string correspond to a time during the last 24 hours, an extra day is added to it. This allows you to specify relative times such as "17:00" to always mean the next 17:00, even if your system clock happens to be 17:30.
The default is 8 hours.
E.g.,
#ticket-life=8 hours
#ticket-life=1 day
ticket-life=17:00
Specify how long a renewable ticket should remain renewable.
See ticket-life for the syntax. The extra feature that handles negative values within the last 2 hours is not active here.
The default is 7 days.
E.g.,
#renew-life=1 week
#renew-life=friday 17:00
renew-life=sunday
The configuration file for Shisa is typically stored in /usr/local/etc/shishi/shisa.conf. If the first non white space character of a line is a '#', the line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored.
Currently the only configuration options available is the db
token that define the databases to use. The syntax is:
db [OPTIONS] <TYPE> [LOCATION] [PARAMETERS ...]
Specify the data sources for Kerberos 5 data. Multiple entries, even of the same data source type, are allowed. The data sources are accessed in the same sequence as they are defined here. If an entry is found in one data source, it will be used for the operations, without searching the remaining data sources. Valid OPTIONS include:
--read-only No data is written to this data source.
--ignore-errors Ignore failures in this backend.
The default (when the configuration file is empty) uses one "file" data source (see below), but for a larger installation you may want to combine several data sources. Here is an example.
db --read-only file /var/local/master
db --ignore-errors ldap kdc.example.org ca=/etc/shisa/kdc-ca.pem
db --read-only file /var/cache/ldap-copy
This demonstrate how you can store critical principals on local disk (the first entry, /var/local/master) that will always be found without looking in the LDAP directory. The critical principals could be, e.g., krbtgt/EXAMPLE.ORG. The second entry denote a LDAP server that could hold user principals. As you can see, Shisa will not let the caller know about errors with the LDAP source (they will be logged, however). Instead, if for instance the LDAP server has crashed, Shisa would continue and read from the /var/cache/ldap-copy file source. That file source may have been set up to contain a copy of the data in the LDAP server, perhaps made on an hourly basis, so that your server will be able to serve recent data even in case of a crash. Any updates or passwords change requests will however not be possible while the LDAP server is inaccessible, to reduce the problem of synchronizing data back into the LDAP server once it is online again.
Currently only the "file" data source is supported, and denote a data source that use the standard file system for storage.
Valid syntaxes for the "file" database:
db file PATH
Examples:
db file /var/shishi
db file /usr/share/shishi read-only
If no ‘db’ tokens are present, the default will be:
db file /usr/local/var/shishi
If no command is given, Shishi try to make sure you have a ticket granting ticket for the default realm, and then display it.

$HOME/.shishi/tickets if $SHISHI_HOME is not specified.
Our units of temporal measurement, from seconds on up to months, are so complicated, asymmetrical and disjunctive so as to make coherent mental reckoning in time all but impossible. Indeed, had some tyrannical god contrived to enslave our minds to time, to make it all but impossible for us to escape subjection to sodden routines and unpleasant surprises, he could hardly have done better than handing down our present system. It is like a set of trapezoidal building blocks, with no vertical or horizontal surfaces, like a language in which the simplest thought demands ornate constructions, useless particles and lengthy circumlocutions. Unlike the more successful patterns of language and science, which enable us to face experience boldly or at least level-headedly, our system of temporal calculation silently and persistently encourages our terror of time. ...It is as though architects had to measure length in feet, width in meters and height in ells; as though basic instruction manuals demanded a knowledge of five different languages. It is no wonder then that we often look into our own immediate past or future, last Tuesday or a week from Sunday, with feelings of helpless confusion. ...
—Robert Grudin, Time and the Art of Living.
This section describes the textual date representations that GNU
programs accept. These are the strings you, as a user, can supply as
arguments to the various programs. The C interface (via the
parse_datetime function) is not described here.
A date is a string, possibly empty, containing many items separated by whitespace. The whitespace may be omitted when no ambiguity arises. The empty string means the beginning of today (i.e., midnight). Order of the items is immaterial. A date string may contain many flavors of items:
We describe each of these item types in turn, below.
A few ordinal numbers may be written out in words in some contexts. This is most useful for specifying day of the week items or relative items (see below). Among the most commonly used ordinal numbers, the word ‘last’ stands for -1, ‘this’ stands for 0, and ‘first’ and ‘next’ both stand for 1. Because the word ‘second’ stands for the unit of time there is no way to write the ordinal number 2, but for convenience ‘third’ stands for 3, ‘fourth’ for 4, ‘fifth’ for 5, ‘sixth’ for 6, ‘seventh’ for 7, ‘eighth’ for 8, ‘ninth’ for 9, ‘tenth’ for 10, ‘eleventh’ for 11 and ‘twelfth’ for 12.
When a month is written this way, it is still considered to be written numerically, instead of being “spelled in full”; this changes the allowed strings.
In the current implementation, only English is supported for words and abbreviations like ‘AM’, ‘DST’, ‘EST’, ‘first’, ‘January’, ‘Sunday’, ‘tomorrow’, and ‘year’.
The output of the date command is not always acceptable as a date string, not only because of the language problem, but also because there is no standard meaning for time zone items like ‘IST’. When using date to generate a date string intended to be parsed later, specify a date format that is independent of language and that does not use time zone items other than ‘UTC’ and ‘Z’. Here are some ways to do this:
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 date
Mon Mar 1 00:21:42 UTC 2004
$ TZ=UTC0 date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%SZ'
2004-03-01 00:21:42Z
$ date --rfc-3339=ns # --rfc-3339 is a GNU extension.
2004-02-29 16:21:42.692722128-08:00
$ date --rfc-2822 # a GNU extension
Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800
$ date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z' # %z is a GNU extension.
2004-02-29 16:21:42 -0800
$ date +'@%s.%N' # %s and %N are GNU extensions.
@1078100502.692722128
Alphabetic case is completely ignored in dates. Comments may be introduced between round parentheses, as long as included parentheses are properly nested. Hyphens not followed by a digit are currently ignored. Leading zeros on numbers are ignored.
Invalid dates like ‘2005-02-29’ or times like ‘24:00’ are rejected. In the typical case of a host that does not support leap seconds, a time like ‘23:59:60’ is rejected even if it corresponds to a valid leap second.
A calendar date item specifies a day of the year. It is specified differently, depending on whether the month is specified numerically or literally. All these strings specify the same calendar date:
1972-09-24 # ISO 8601.
72-9-24 # Assume 19xx for 69 through 99,
# 20xx for 00 through 68.
72-09-24 # Leading zeros are ignored.
9/24/72 # Common U.S. writing.
24 September 1972
24 Sept 72 # September has a special abbreviation.
24 Sep 72 # Three-letter abbreviations always allowed.
Sep 24, 1972
24-sep-72
24sep72
The year can also be omitted. In this case, the last specified year is used, or the current year if none. For example:
9/24
sep 24
Here are the rules.
For numeric months, the ISO 8601 format ‘year-month-day’ is allowed, where year is any positive number, month is a number between 01 and 12, and day is a number between 01 and 31. A leading zero must be present if a number is less than ten. If year is 68 or smaller, then 2000 is added to it; otherwise, if year is less than 100, then 1900 is added to it. The construct ‘month/day/year’, popular in the United States, is accepted. Also ‘month/day’, omitting the year.
Literal months may be spelled out in full: ‘January’, ‘February’, ‘March’, ‘April’, ‘May’, ‘June’, ‘July’, ‘August’, ‘September’, ‘October’, ‘November’ or ‘December’. Literal months may be abbreviated to their first three letters, possibly followed by an abbreviating dot. It is also permitted to write ‘Sept’ instead of ‘September’.
When months are written literally, the calendar date may be given as any of the following:
day month year
day month
month day year
day-month-year
Or, omitting the year:
month day
A time of day item in date strings specifies the time on a given day. Here are some examples, all of which represent the same time:
20:02:00.000000
20:02
8:02pm
20:02-0500 # In EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time).
More generally, the time of day may be given as ‘hour:minute:second’, where hour is a number between 0 and 23, minute is a number between 0 and 59, and second is a number between 0 and 59 possibly followed by ‘.’ or ‘,’ and a fraction containing one or more digits. Alternatively, ‘:second’ can be omitted, in which case it is taken to be zero. On the rare hosts that support leap seconds, second may be 60.
If the time is followed by ‘am’ or ‘pm’ (or ‘a.m.’ or ‘p.m.’), hour is restricted to run from 1 to 12, and ‘:minute’ may be omitted (taken to be zero). ‘am’ indicates the first half of the day, ‘pm’ indicates the second half of the day. In this notation, 12 is the predecessor of 1: midnight is ‘12am’ while noon is ‘12pm’. (This is the zero-oriented interpretation of ‘12am’ and ‘12pm’, as opposed to the old tradition derived from Latin which uses ‘12m’ for noon and ‘12pm’ for midnight.)
The time may alternatively be followed by a time zone correction, expressed as ‘shhmm’, where s is ‘+’ or ‘-’, hh is a number of zone hours and mm is a number of zone minutes. The zone minutes term, mm, may be omitted, in which case the one- or two-digit correction is interpreted as a number of hours. You can also separate hh from mm with a colon. When a time zone correction is given this way, it forces interpretation of the time relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), overriding any previous specification for the time zone or the local time zone. For example, ‘+0530’ and ‘+05:30’ both stand for the time zone 5.5 hours ahead of UTC (e.g., India). This is the best way to specify a time zone correction by fractional parts of an hour. The maximum zone correction is 24 hours.
Either ‘am’/‘pm’ or a time zone correction may be specified, but not both.
A time zone item specifies an international time zone, indicated by a small set of letters, e.g., ‘UTC’ or ‘Z’ for Coordinated Universal Time. Any included periods are ignored. By following a non-daylight-saving time zone by the string ‘DST’ in a separate word (that is, separated by some white space), the corresponding daylight saving time zone may be specified. Alternatively, a non-daylight-saving time zone can be followed by a time zone correction, to add the two values. This is normally done only for ‘UTC’; for example, ‘UTC+05:30’ is equivalent to ‘+05:30’.
Time zone items other than ‘UTC’ and ‘Z’ are obsolescent and are not recommended, because they are ambiguous; for example, ‘EST’ has a different meaning in Australia than in the United States. Instead, it's better to use unambiguous numeric time zone corrections like ‘-0500’, as described in the previous section.
If neither a time zone item nor a time zone correction is supplied, time stamps are interpreted using the rules of the default time zone (see Specifying time zone rules).
The ISO 8601 date and time of day extended format consists of an ISO 8601 date, a ‘T’ character separator, and an ISO 8601 time of day. This format is also recognized if the ‘T’ is replaced by a space.
In this format, the time of day should use 24-hour notation. Fractional seconds are allowed, with either comma or period preceding the fraction. ISO 8601 fractional minutes and hours are not supported. Typically, hosts support nanosecond timestamp resolution; excess precision is silently discarded.
Here are some examples:
2012-09-24T20:02:00.052-0500
2012-12-31T23:59:59,999999999+1100
1970-01-01 00:00Z
The explicit mention of a day of the week will forward the date (only if necessary) to reach that day of the week in the future.
Days of the week may be spelled out in full: ‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’ or ‘Saturday’. Days may be abbreviated to their first three letters, optionally followed by a period. The special abbreviations ‘Tues’ for ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednes’ for ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Thur’ or ‘Thurs’ for ‘Thursday’ are also allowed.
A number may precede a day of the week item to move forward supplementary weeks. It is best used in expression like ‘third monday’. In this context, ‘last day’ or ‘next day’ is also acceptable; they move one week before or after the day that day by itself would represent.
A comma following a day of the week item is ignored.
Relative items adjust a date (or the current date if none) forward or backward. The effects of relative items accumulate. Here are some examples:
1 year
1 year ago
3 years
2 days
The unit of time displacement may be selected by the string ‘year’ or ‘month’ for moving by whole years or months. These are fuzzy units, as years and months are not all of equal duration. More precise units are ‘fortnight’ which is worth 14 days, ‘week’ worth 7 days, ‘day’ worth 24 hours, ‘hour’ worth 60 minutes, ‘minute’ or ‘min’ worth 60 seconds, and ‘second’ or ‘sec’ worth one second. An ‘s’ suffix on these units is accepted and ignored.
The unit of time may be preceded by a multiplier, given as an optionally signed number. Unsigned numbers are taken as positively signed. No number at all implies 1 for a multiplier. Following a relative item by the string ‘ago’ is equivalent to preceding the unit by a multiplier with value -1.
The string ‘tomorrow’ is worth one day in the future (equivalent to ‘day’), the string ‘yesterday’ is worth one day in the past (equivalent to ‘day ago’).
The strings ‘now’ or ‘today’ are relative items corresponding to zero-valued time displacement, these strings come from the fact a zero-valued time displacement represents the current time when not otherwise changed by previous items. They may be used to stress other items, like in ‘12:00 today’. The string ‘this’ also has the meaning of a zero-valued time displacement, but is preferred in date strings like ‘this thursday’.
When a relative item causes the resulting date to cross a boundary where the clocks were adjusted, typically for daylight saving time, the resulting date and time are adjusted accordingly.
The fuzz in units can cause problems with relative items. For example, ‘2003-07-31 -1 month’ might evaluate to 2003-07-01, because 2003-06-31 is an invalid date. To determine the previous month more reliably, you can ask for the month before the 15th of the current month. For example:
$ date -R
Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:02:39 -0700
$ date --date='-1 month' +'Last month was %B?'
Last month was July?
$ date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +'Last month was %B!'
Last month was June!
Also, take care when manipulating dates around clock changes such as daylight saving leaps. In a few cases these have added or subtracted as much as 24 hours from the clock, so it is often wise to adopt universal time by setting the TZ environment variable to ‘UTC0’ before embarking on calendrical calculations.
The precise interpretation of a pure decimal number depends on the context in the date string.
If the decimal number is of the form yyyymmdd and no other calendar date item (see Calendar date items) appears before it in the date string, then yyyy is read as the year, mm as the month number and dd as the day of the month, for the specified calendar date.
If the decimal number is of the form hhmm and no other time of day item appears before it in the date string, then hh is read as the hour of the day and mm as the minute of the hour, for the specified time of day. mm can also be omitted.
If both a calendar date and a time of day appear to the left of a number in the date string, but no relative item, then the number overrides the year.
If you precede a number with ‘@’, it represents an internal time stamp as a count of seconds. The number can contain an internal decimal point (either ‘.’ or ‘,’); any excess precision not supported by the internal representation is truncated toward minus infinity. Such a number cannot be combined with any other date item, as it specifies a complete time stamp.
Internally, computer times are represented as a count of seconds since an epoch—a well-defined point of time. On GNU and POSIX systems, the epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, so ‘@0’ represents this time, ‘@1’ represents 1970-01-01 00:00:01 UTC, and so forth. GNU and most other POSIX-compliant systems support such times as an extension to POSIX, using negative counts, so that ‘@-1’ represents 1969-12-31 23:59:59 UTC.
Traditional Unix systems count seconds with 32-bit two's-complement integers and can represent times from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 through 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. More modern systems use 64-bit counts of seconds with nanosecond subcounts, and can represent all the times in the known lifetime of the universe to a resolution of 1 nanosecond.
On most hosts, these counts ignore the presence of leap seconds. For example, on most hosts ‘@915148799’ represents 1998-12-31 23:59:59 UTC, ‘@915148800’ represents 1999-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, and there is no way to represent the intervening leap second 1998-12-31 23:59:60 UTC.
Normally, dates are interpreted using the rules of the current time zone, which in turn are specified by the TZ environment variable, or by a system default if TZ is not set. To specify a different set of default time zone rules that apply just to one date, start the date with a string of the form ‘TZ="rule"’. The two quote characters (‘"’) must be present in the date, and any quotes or backslashes within rule must be escaped by a backslash.
For example, with the GNU date command you can answer the question “What time is it in New York when a Paris clock shows 6:30am on October 31, 2004?” by using a date beginning with ‘TZ="Europe/Paris"’ as shown in the following shell transcript:
$ export TZ="America/New_York"
$ date --date='TZ="Europe/Paris" 2004-10-31 06:30'
Sun Oct 31 01:30:00 EDT 2004
In this example, the --date operand begins with its own TZ setting, so the rest of that operand is processed according to ‘Europe/Paris’ rules, treating the string ‘2004-10-31 06:30’ as if it were in Paris. However, since the output of the date command is processed according to the overall time zone rules, it uses New York time. (Paris was normally six hours ahead of New York in 2004, but this example refers to a brief Halloween period when the gap was five hours.)
A TZ value is a rule that typically names a location in the ‘tz’ database. A recent catalog of location names appears in the TWiki Date and Time Gateway. A few non-GNU hosts require a colon before a location name in a TZ setting, e.g., ‘TZ=":America/New_York"’.
The ‘tz’ database includes a wide variety of locations ranging
from ‘Arctic/Longyearbyen’ to ‘Antarctica/South_Pole’, but
if you are at sea and have your own private time zone, or if you are
using a non-GNU host that does not support the ‘tz’
database, you may need to use a POSIX rule instead. Simple
POSIX rules like ‘UTC0’ specify a time zone without
daylight saving time; other rules can specify simple daylight saving
regimes. See Specifying the Time Zone with TZ.
parse_datetime
parse_datetime started life as getdate, as originally
implemented by Steven M. Bellovin
(smb@research.att.com) while at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. The code was later tweaked by a couple of people on
Usenet, then completely overhauled by Rich $alz (rsalz@bbn.com)
and Jim Berets (jberets@bbn.com) in August, 1990. Various
revisions for the GNU system were made by David MacKenzie, Jim Meyering,
Paul Eggert and others, including renaming it to get_date to
avoid a conflict with the alternative Posix function getdate,
and a later rename to parse_datetime. The Posix function
getdate can parse more locale-specific dates using
strptime, but relies on an environment variable and external
file, and lacks the thread-safety of parse_datetime.
This chapter was originally produced by François Pinard (pinard@iro.umontreal.ca) from the parse_datetime.y source code, and then edited by K. Berry (kb@cs.umb.edu).
This chapter describes all the publicly available functions in the library.
To use `Libshishi', you have to perform some changes to your sources and the build system. The necessary changes are small and explained in the following sections. At the end of this chapter, it is described how the library is initialized, and how the requirements of the library are verified.
A faster way to find out how to adapt your application for use with `Libshishi' may be to look at the examples at the end of this manual (see Examples).
All interfaces (data types and functions) of the library are defined in the header file `shishi.h'. You must include this in all programs using the library, either directly or through some other header file, like this:
#include <shishi.h>
The name space of `Libshishi' is shishi_* for function names,
Shishi* for data types and SHISHI_* for other symbols. In
addition the same name prefixes with one prepended underscore are
reserved for internal use and should never be used by an application.
`Libshishi' must be initialized before it can be used. The library is
initialized by calling shishi_init (see Initialization Functions). The resources allocated by the initialization process
can be released if the application no longer has a need to call
`Libshishi' functions, this is done by calling shishi_done.
In order to take advantage of the internationalisation features in
`Libshishi', such as translated error messages, the application must
set the current locale using setlocale before initializing
`Libshishi'.
It is often desirable to check that the version of `Libshishi' used is indeed one which fits all requirements. Even with binary compatibility new features may have been introduced but due to problem with the dynamic linker an old version is actually used. So you may want to check that the version is okay right after program startup.
req_version: version string to compare with, or NULL
Check that the version of the library is at minimum the one given as a string in
req_version.Return value: the actual version string of the library; NULL if the condition is not met. If
NULLis passed to this function no check is done and only the version string is returned.
The normal way to use the function is to put something similar to the
following early in your main:
if (!shishi_check_version (SHISHI_VERSION))
{
printf ("shishi_check_version failed:\n"
"Header file incompatible with shared library.\n");
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
If you want to compile a source file including the `shishi.h' header file, you must make sure that the compiler can find it in the directory hierarchy. This is accomplished by adding the path to the directory in which the header file is located to the compilers include file search path (via the -I option).
However, the path to the include file is determined at the time the source is configured. To solve this problem, `Libshishi' uses the external package pkg-config that knows the path to the include file and other configuration options. The options that need to be added to the compiler invocation at compile time are output by the --cflags option to pkg-config shishi. The following example shows how it can be used at the command line:
gcc -c foo.c `pkg-config shishi --cflags`
Adding the output of ‘pkg-config shishi --cflags’ to the compilers command line will ensure that the compiler can find the `Libshishi' header file.
A similar problem occurs when linking the program with the library. Again, the compiler has to find the library files. For this to work, the path to the library files has to be added to the library search path (via the -L option). For this, the option --libs to pkg-config shishi can be used. For convenience, this option also outputs all other options that are required to link the program with the `Libshishi' libararies (in particular, the ‘-lshishi’ option). The example shows how to link foo.o with the `Libshishi' library to a program foo.
gcc -o foo foo.o `pkg-config shishi --libs`
Of course you can also combine both examples to a single command by specifying both options to pkg-config:
gcc -o foo foo.c `pkg-config shishi --cflags --libs`
If you work on a project that uses Autoconf (see GNU Autoconf) to help find installed libraries, the suggestions in the previous section are not the entire story. There are a few methods to detect and incorporate Shishi into your Autoconf based package. The preferred approach, is to use Libtool in your project, and use the normal Autoconf header file and library tests.
If your audience is a typical GNU/Linux desktop, you can often assume they have the ‘pkg-config’ tool installed, in which you can use its Autoconf M4 macro to find and set up your package for use with Shishi. The following illustrate this scenario.
AC_ARG_ENABLE(kerberos_v5,
AC_HELP_STRING([--disable-kerberos_v5],
[don't use the KERBEROS_V5 mechanism]),
kerberos_v5=$enableval)
if test "$kerberos_v5" != "no" ; then
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SHISHI, shishi >= 0.0.0,
[kerberos_v5=yes],
[kerberos_v5=no])
if test "$kerberos_v5" != "yes" ; then
kerberos_v5=no
AC_MSG_WARN([shishi not found, disabling Kerberos 5])
else
kerberos_v5=yes
AC_DEFINE(USE_KERBEROS_V5, 1,
[Define to 1 if you want Kerberos 5.])
fi
fi
AC_MSG_CHECKING([if Kerberos 5 should be used])
AC_MSG_RESULT($kerberos_v5)
If your package uses Libtool(see GNU Libtool), you can use the normal Autoconf tests to find the Shishi library and rely on the Libtool dependency tracking to include the proper dependency libraries (e.g., Libidn). The following illustrate this scenario.
AC_CHECK_HEADER(shishi.h,
AC_CHECK_LIB(shishi, shishi_check_version,
[kerberos5=yes AC_SUBST(SHISHI_LIBS, -lshishi)],
kerberos5=no),
kerberos5=no)
AC_ARG_ENABLE(kerberos5,
AC_HELP_STRING([--disable-kerberos5],
[disable Kerberos 5 unconditionally]),
kerberos5=$enableval)
if test "$kerberos5" != "no" ; then
AC_DEFINE(USE_KERBEROS_V5, 1,
[Define to 1 if you want Kerberos 5.])
else
AC_MSG_WARN([Shishi not found, disabling Kerberos 5])
fi
AC_MSG_CHECKING([if Kerberos 5 should be used])
AC_MSG_RESULT($kerberos5)
If your package does not use Libtool, as well as detecting the Shishi library as in the previous case, you must also detect whatever dependencies Shishi requires to work (e.g., libidn). Since the dependencies are in a state of flux, we do not provide an example and we do not recommend this approach, unless you are experienced developer.

Search the ticketset sequentially (from ticket number 0 through all tickets in the set) for a ticket that fits the given characteristics. If a ticket is found, the hint->startpos field is updated to point to the next ticket in the set, so this function can be called repeatedly with the same hint argument in order to find all tickets matching a certain criterium. Note that if tickets are added to, or removed from, the ticketset during a query with the same hint argument, the hint->startpos field must be updated appropriately.
Here is how you would typically use this function: Shishi_tkts_hint hint;
Shishi_tkt tkt;
memset(&hint, 0, sizeof(hint));
hint.server = "imap/mail.example.org";

The “AP-REQ” and “AP-REP” are ASN.1 structures used by application client and servers to prove to each other who they are. The structures contain auxilliary information, together with an authenticator (see Authenticator Functions) which is the real cryptographic proof.

flag: integer with flags to store in ticket.
Add ticket flags to Ticket and EncKDCRepPart. This preserves all existing options.
Return value: Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is forwardable.
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.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff forwardable flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is forwarded.
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.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff forwarded flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is proxiable.
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 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.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff proxiable flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is proxy ticket.
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.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff proxy flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket may be used to grant postdated tickets.
The MAY-POSTDATE flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the ticket-granting service. It can be ignored by application servers. This flag MUST be set in a ticket-granting ticket in order 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 KRB_AS_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 KRB_AS_REQ message. The life (endtime-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-starttime) of the ticket-granting ticket. The KDC MAY limit how far in the future a ticket may be postdated.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff may-postdate flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is 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 to be validated before use.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff postdated flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is invalid.
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).
Return value: Returns non-0 iff invalid flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is renewable.
The RENEWABLE flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the ticket-granting service (discussed below in section 3.3). It can usually be ignored by application servers. However, some particularly careful application servers MAY disallow renewable tickets.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff renewable flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket was issued using AS exchange.
The INITIAL flag indicates that a ticket was issued using the AS protocol, rather than issued based on a ticket-granting ticket. Application servers that want to require the demonstrated knowledge of a client's secret key (e.g. a password-changing program) can insist that this flag be set in any tickets they accept, and thus be assured that the client's key was recently presented to the application client.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff initial flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket was pre-authenticated.
The PRE-AUTHENT and HW-AUTHENT flags provide additional information about the initial authentication, regardless of whether the current ticket was issued directly (in which case INITIAL will also be set) or issued on the basis of a ticket-granting ticket (in which case the INITIAL flag is clear, but the PRE-AUTHENT and HW-AUTHENT flags are carried forward from the ticket-granting ticket).
Return value: Returns non-0 iff pre-authent flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is authenticated using a hardware token.
The PRE-AUTHENT and HW-AUTHENT flags provide additional information about the initial authentication, regardless of whether the current ticket was issued directly (in which case INITIAL will also be set) or issued on the basis of a ticket-granting ticket (in which case the INITIAL flag is clear, but the PRE-AUTHENT and HW-AUTHENT flags are carried forward from the ticket-granting ticket).
Return value: Returns non-0 iff hw-authent flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket has been policy checked for transit.
The application server is ultimately responsible for accepting or rejecting authentication and SHOULD check that only suitably trusted KDCs are relied upon to authenticate a principal. The transited field in the ticket identifies which realms (and thus which KDCs) were involved in the authentication process and an application server would normally check this field. If any of these are untrusted to authenticate the indicated client principal (probably determined by a realm-based policy), the authentication attempt MUST be rejected. The presence of trusted KDCs in this list does not provide any guarantee; an untrusted KDC may have fabricated the list.
While the end server ultimately decides whether authentication is valid, the KDC for the end server's realm MAY apply a realm specific policy for validating the transited field and accepting credentials for cross-realm authentication. When the KDC applies such checks and accepts such cross-realm authentication it will set the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED flag in the service tickets it issues based on the cross-realm TGT. A client MAY request that the KDCs not check the transited field by setting the DISABLE-TRANSITED-CHECK flag. KDCs are encouraged but not required to honor this flag.
Application servers MUST either do the transited-realm checks themselves, or reject cross-realm tickets without TRANSITED-POLICY- CHECKED set.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff transited-policy-checked flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.
Determine if ticket is ok as delegated ticket.
The copy of the ticket flags in the encrypted part of the KDC reply may have the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag set to indicates to the client that the server 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 server. 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.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff ok-as-delegate flag is set in ticket.
tkt: input variable with ticket info.

The Authentication Service (AS) is used to get an initial ticket using e.g. your password. The Ticket Granting Service (TGS) is used to get subsequent tickets using other tickets. Protocol wise the procedures are very similar, which is the reason they are described together. The following illustrates the AS-REQ, TGS-REQ and AS-REP, TGS-REP ASN.1 structures. Most of the functions use the mnemonic “KDC” instead of either AS or TGS, which means the function operates on both AS and TGS types. Only where the distinction between AS and TGS is important are the AS and TGS names used. Remember, these are low-level functions, and normal applications will likely be satisfied with the AS (see AS Functions) and TGS (see TGS Functions) interfaces, or the even more high-level Ticket Set (see Ticket Set Functions) interface.

The ticket provided is encrypted in the secret key for the server on which it is valid. This option will only be honored if the ticket to be renewed has its RENEWABLE flag set and if the time in its renew-till field has not passed. The ticket to be renewed is passed in the padata field as part of the authentication header.
Return value: Returns non-0 iff renew flag is set in KDC-REQ.

Underneath the high-level functions described earlier, cryptographic operations are happening. If you need to access these cryptographic primitives directly, this section describes the functions available.
Most cryptographic operations need keying material, and cryptographic
keys have been isolated into it's own data structure

that you cannot access it's elements directly but must use the
accessor functions described below.
struct Shishi_key
{
int type; /* RFC 1510 encryption integer type */
char *value; /* Cryptographic key data */
int version; /* RFC 1510 ``kvno'' */

Applications that run uninteractively may need keying material. In
these cases, the keys are stored in a file, a file that is normally
stored on the local host. The file should be protected from
unauthorized access. The file is in ASCII format and contains keys as

Furthermore, the pad is not guaranteed to look in any special way, although existing implementations often pad with the zero byte. This means that you may have to "frame" data, so it is possible to infer the original length after decryption. Compare ASN.1 DER which contains such information.

An easier way to use encryption and decryption if your application
repeatedly calls, e.g., shishi_encrypt_ivupdate, is to use the
following functions. They store the key, initialization vector, etc,
in a context, and the encryption and decryption operations update the
IV within the context automatically.

Return value: Returns realm for host, or NULL if not found.
handle: Shishi library handle create by
shishi_init().server: hostname to find realm for.
Find realm for a host using DNS lookups, according to draft-ietf-krb-wg-krb-dns-locate-03.txt. Since DNS lookups may be spoofed, relying on the realm information may result in a redirection attack. In a single-realm scenario, this only achieves a denial of service, but with cross-realm trust it may redirect you to a compromised realm. For this reason, Shishi prints a warning, suggesting that the user should add the proper 'server-realm' configuration tokens instead.
To illustrate the DNS information used, here is an extract from a zone file for the domain ASDF.COM:
_kerberos.asdf.com. IN TXT "ASDF.COM" _kerberos.mrkserver.asdf.com. IN TXT "MARKETING.ASDF.COM" _kerberos.salesserver.asdf.com. IN TXT "SALES.ASDF.COM"
Let us suppose that in this case, a client wishes to use a service on the host foo.asdf.com. It would first query:
_kerberos.foo.asdf.com. IN TXT
Finding no match, it would then query:
_kerberos.asdf.com. IN TXT
Return value: Returns realm for host, or NULL if not found.
handle: Shishi library handle create by
shishi_init().server: hostname to find realm for.
Find realm for a host, using various methods. Currently this includes static configuration files (see

Most functions in `Libshishi' are returning an error if they fail. For this reason, the application should always catch the error condition and take appropriate measures, for example by releasing the resources and passing the error up to the caller, or by displaying a descriptive message to the user and cancelling the operation.
Some error values do not indicate a system error or an error in the operation, but the result of an operation that failed properly.
Errors are returned as an int. Except for the SHISHI_OK case,
an application should always use the constants instead of their
numeric value. Applications are encouraged to use the constants even
for SHISHI_OK as it improves readability. Possible values are:
SHISHI_OK0 so you may use it in boolean constructs.

This section will be extended to contain walk-throughs of example code that demonstrate how `Shishi' is used to write your own applications that support Kerberos 5. The rest of the current section consists of some crude hints for the example client/server applications that is part of Shishi, taken from an email but saved here for lack of a better place to put it.
There are two programs: 'client' and 'server' in src/.
The client output an AP-REQ, waits for an AP-REP, and then simply reads data from stdin.
The server waits for an AP-REQ, parses it and prints an AP-REP, and then read data from stdin.
Both programs accept a Kerberos server name as the first command line argument. Your KDC must know this server, since the client tries to get a ticket for it (first it gets a ticket granting ticket for the default username), and you must write the key for the server into /usr/local/etc/shishi.keys on the Shishi format, e.g.:
-----BEGIN SHISHI KEY-----
Keytype: 16 (des3-cbc-sha1-kd)
Principal: sample/latte.josefsson.org
Realm: JOSEFSSON.ORG
8W0VrQQBpxlACPQEqN91EHxbvFFo2ltt
-----END SHISHI KEY-----
You must extract the proper encryption key from the KDC in some way. (This part will be easier when Shishi include a KDC, a basic one isn't far away, give me a week or to.)
The intention is that the data read, after the authentication phase, should be protected using KRB_SAFE (see RFC) but I haven't added this yet.
Shisa is a separate and standalone library from Shishi (see Introduction to Shisa). If you only wish to manipulate the information stored in the Kerberos user database used by Shishi, you do not need to link or use the Shishi library at all. However, you may find it useful to combine the two libraries.
For two real world examples on using the Shisa library, refer to src/shisa.c (Shisa command line tool) and src/kdc.c (part of Shishid server).
Shisa uses two ‘struct’s to carry information. The first,
Shisa_principal, is used to hold information about principals.
The struct does not contain pointers to strings etc, so the library
assumes the caller is responsible for allocating and deallocating the
struct itself. Each such struct is (uniquely) identified by the
combination of principal name and realm name.
struct Shisa_principal
{
int isdisabled;
uint32_t kvno;
time_t notusedbefore;
time_t lastinitialtgt; /* time of last initial request for a TGT */
time_t lastinitialrequest; /* time of last initial request */
time_t lasttgt; /* time of issue for the newest TGT used */
time_t lastrenewal; /* time of the last renewal */
time_t passwordexpire; /* time when the password will expire */
time_t accountexpire; /* time when the account will expire. */
};
typedef struct Shisa_principal Shisa_principal;
The second structure is called Shisa_key and hold information
about cryptographic keys. Because the struct contain pointers, and
the caller cannot know how many keys a principal have, the Shisa
library manages memory for the struct. The library allocate the
structs, and the pointers within them. The caller may deallocate
them, but it is recommended to use shisa_key_free or
shisa_keys_free instead. Note that each principal may have
multiple keys.
struct Shisa_key
{
uint32_t kvno;
int32_t etype;
int priority;
char *key;
size_t keylen;
char *salt;
size_t saltlen;
char *str2keyparam;
size_t str2keyparamlen;
char *password;
};
typedef struct Shisa_key Shisa_key;
Shisa is typically initialized by calling shisa_init, and
deinitialized (when the application no longer need to use Shisa,
typically when it shuts down) by calling shisa_done, but here
are the complete (de)initialization interface functions.
Initializes the Shisa library. If this function fails, it may print diagnostic errors to stderr.
Return value: Returns Shisa library handle, or
NULLon error.
Deallocates the shisa library handle. The handle must not be used in any calls to shisa functions after this.
dbh: pointer to library handle to be created.
Create a Shisa library handle, using
shisa(), and read the system configuration file from their default locations. The paths to the default system configuration file is decided at compile time ($sysconfdir/shisa.conf).The handle is allocated regardless of return values, except for SHISA_INIT_ERROR which indicates a problem allocating the handle. (The other error conditions comes from reading the files.)
Return value: Returns
SHISA_OKiff successful.
dbh: pointer to library handle to be created.
file: Filename of system configuration, or NULL.
Create a Shisa library handle, using
shisa(), and read the system configuration file indicated location (or the default location, ifNULL). The paths to the default system configuration file is decided at compile time ($sysconfdir/shisa.conf).The handle is allocated regardless of return values, except for SHISA_INIT_ERROR which indicates a problem allocating the handle. (The other error conditions comes from reading the files.)
Return value: Returns
SHISA_OKiff successful.
The default configuration file is typically read automatically by
calling shisa_init, but if you wish to manually access the
Shisa configuration file functions, here is the complete interface.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().value: string with database definition.
Setup and open a new database. The syntax of the
valueparameter is "TYPE[ LOCATION[ PARAMETER]]", where TYPE is one of the supported database types (e.g., "file") and LOCATION and PARAMETER are optional strings passed to the database during initialization. Neither TYPE nor LOCATION can contain " " (SPC), but PARAMETER may.Return Value: Returns
SHISA_OKif database was parsed and open successfully.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().option: string with shisa library option.
Configure shisa library with given option.
Return Value: Returns SHISA_OK if option was valid.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().cfg: filename to read configuration from.
Configure shisa library using configuration file.
Return Value: Returns
SHISA_OKiff successful.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().Return value: Return system configuration filename.
The core part of the Shisa interface follows. The typical procedure
is to use shisa_principal_find to verify that a specific
principal exists, and to extract some information about it, and then
use shisa_keys_find to get the cryptographic keys for the
principal, usually suppliying some hints as to which of all keys you
are interested in (e.g., key version number and encryption algorithm
number).
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().realms: Pointer to newly allocated array of newly allocated zero-terminated UTF-8 strings indicating name of realm.
nrealms: Pointer to number indicating number of allocated realm strings.
Extract a list of all realm names in backend, as zero-terminated UTF-8 strings. The caller must deallocate the strings.

nprincipals: Pointer to number indicating number of allocated realm strings.
Extract a list of all principal names in realm in backend, as zero-terminated UTF-8 strings. The caller must deallocate the strings.

REALM.Return value: Returns
SHISA_OKiff successful,SHISA_NO_REALMif the indicated realm does not exist,SHISA_NO_PRINCIPALif the indicated principal does not exist, or an error code.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().realm: Name of realm the principal belongs in.
principal: Name of principal to get information on.
ph: Pointer to principal structure with information to store in database.
Modify information stored for given PRINCIPAL
REALM. Note that it is usually a good idea to only set the fields inphthat you actually want to update. Specifically, first callingshisa_principal_find()to get the current information, then modifying one field, and callingshisa_principal_update()is not recommended in general, as this will 1) overwrite any modifications made to other fields between the two calls (by other processes) and 2) will cause all values to be written again, which may generate more overhead.Return value: Returns SHISA_OK if successful,
SHISA_NO_REALMif the indicated realm does not exist,SHISA_NO_PRINCIPALif the indicated principal does not exist, or an error code.
dbh: Shisa library handle created by
shisa().realm: Name of realm the principal belongs in.

As an alternative to the native Shishi programming API, it is possible to program Shishi through the Generic Security Services (GSS) API. The advantage of using GSS-API in your security application, instead of the native Shishi API, is that it will be easier to port your application between different Kerberos 5 implementations, and even beyond Kerberos 5 to different security systems, that support GSS-API. In the free software world, however, almost the only widely used security system that supports GSS-API is Kerberos 5, so the last advantage is somewhat academic. But if you are porting applications using GSS-API for other Kerberos 5 implementations, or want a more mature and stable API than the native Shishi API, you may find using Shishi's GSS-API interface compelling. Note that GSS-API only offer basic services, for more advanced uses you must use the native API.
Since the GSS-API is not specific to Shishi, it is distributed independently from Shishi. Further information on the GSS project can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/.
Shishi uses Libtasn1 by Fabio Fiorina, Libgcrypt and Libgpg-error by Werner Koch, Libidn by Simon Josefsson, cvs2cl by Karl Fogel, and gdoc by Michael Zucchi.
Several GNU packages simplified development considerably, those packages include Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, Gnulib, Gettext, Indent, CVS, Texinfo, Help2man and Emacs.
Several people reported bugs, sent patches or suggested improvements, see the file THANKS.
Nicolas Pouvesle wrote the section about the Kerberos rsh/rlogin protocol.
This manual borrows text from the Kerberos 5 specification.
The intention with this section is to discuss various problems with Kerberos 5, so you can form a conscious decision how to deploy and use Shishi correctly in your organization. Currently the issues below are condensed, and mostly serve as a reminder for the author to elaborate on them.
No encryption scheme with security proof.
No standardized API, and GSS mechanism lack important functionality.
Lack of authorization system. (krb5_kuserok())
Host to realm mapping relies on insecure DNS or static configuration files.
Informational model and user database administration.
Non-formal specification. Unclear on the etype to use for session keys (etype in request or database?). Unclear on how to populate some “evident” fields (e.g., cname in tickets for AS-REQ, or crealm, cname, realm, sname, ctime and cusec in KRB-ERROR). Unclear error code semantics (e.g., logic for when to use S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN absent). Some KRB-ERROR fields are required, but can't be usefully populated in some situations, and no guidance is given on what they should contain.
RFC 1510/1510bis incompatibilities. NULL enctype removed without discussion, and it is still used by some 1964 GSSAPI implementations. KRB_SAFE text (3.4.1) says the checksum is generated using the session or sub-session key, which contradicts itself (compare section 3.2.6) and also RFC 1510, which both allow the application to define the key. Verification of KRB_SAFE now require the key to be compatible with the (sub-)session key, in 1510 the only requirement was that it was collision proof.
Problems with RFC 1510bis. Uses bignum INTEGER for TYPED-DATA and AD-AND-OR.
Problems with crypto specification. It uses the word “random” many times, but there is no discussion on the randomness requirements. Practical experience indicate it is impossible to use true randomness for all “random” fields, and no implementation does this. A post by Don Davis on the ietf-krb-wg list tried to provide insight, but the information was never added to the specification.
This appendix specifies the non-standard protocol elements implemented by Shishi. By nature of being non-standard, everything described here is experimental. Comments and feedback is appreciated.
Shishi is able to “upgrade” TCP communications with the KDC to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol offers integrity and privacy protected exchanges. TLS also offers authentication using username and passwords, X.509 certificates, or OpenPGP certificates. Kerberos 5 claims to offer some of these features, although it is not as rich as the TLS protocol. An inconclusive list of the motivation for using TLS is given below.
Other reasons for using TLS exists.
RFC 1510bis requires Kerberos servers (KDCs) to accept TCP requests.
Each request and response is prefixed by a 4 octet integer in network
byte order, indicating the length of the packet. The high bit of the
length was reserved for future expansion, and servers that do not
understand how to interpret a set high bit must return a
KRB-ERROR with a KRB_ERR_FIELD_TOOLONG and close the TCP
stream.
The TCP/IP transport with TLS upgrade (STARTTLS) uses this reserved bit as follows. First we define a new extensible typed hole for Kerberos 5 messages, because we used the only reserved bit. It is thus prudent to offer future extensions on our proposal. Secondly we reserve two values in this new typed hole, and described how they are used to implement STARTTLS.
When the high bit is set, the remaining 31 bits of the 4 octets are
treated as an extensible typed hole, and thus form a 31 bit integer
enumerating various extensions. Each of the values indicate a
specific extended operation mode, two of which are used and defined
here, and the rest are left for others to use. If the KDC do not
understand a requested extension, it MUST return a KRB-ERROR
with a KRB_ERR_FIELD_TOOLONG value (prefixed by the 4 octet
length integer, with the high bit clear, as usual) and close the TCP
stream.
Meaning of the 31 lower bits in the 4 octet field, when the high bit is set:
0 RESERVED. 1 STARTTLS requested by client. 2 STARTTLS request accepted by server. 3...2147483647 AVAILABLE for registration (via bug-shishi@josefsson.org). 2147483648 RESERVED.
When this is sent by the client, the client is requesting the server to start TLS negotiation on the TCP stream. The client MUST NOT start TLS negotiation immediately. Instead, the client wait for either a KRB-ERROR (sent normally, prefixed by a 4 octet length integer) indicating the server do not understand the set high bit, or 4 octet which is to interpreted as an integer in network byte order, where the high bit is set and the remaining 31 bit are interpreted as an integer specifying the “STARTTLS request accepted by server”. In the first case, the client infer that the server do not understand (or wish to support) STARTTLS, and can re-try using normal TCP, if unprotected Kerberos 5 exchanges are acceptable to the client policy. In the latter case, it should invoke TLS negotiation on the stream. If any other data is received, the client MUST close the TCP stream.
This 4 octet message should be sent by the server when it has received the previous 4 octet message. The message is an acknowledgment of the client's request to initiate STARTTLS on the channel. The server MUST then invoke a TLS negotiation.
If the TLS negotiation ended successfully, possibly also considering client or server policies, the exchange within the TLS protected stream is performed like normal UDP Kerberos 5 exchanges, i.e., there is no TCP 4 octet length field before each packet. Instead each Kerberos packet MUST be sent within one TLS record, so the application can use the TLS record length as the Kerberos 5 packet length.
If the TLS negotiation fails, possibly due to client or server policy (e.g., inadequate support of encryption types in TLS, or lack of client or server authentication) the entity that detect the failure MUST disconnected the connection. It is expected that any error messages that explain the error condition is transfered by TLS.
Administrators for a KDC may announce the KDC address by placing SRV records in DNS for the realm, as described in draft-ietf-krb-wg-krb-dns-locate-03.txt. That document mention TLS, but do not reference any work that describe how KDCs uses TLS. Until further clarified, consider the TLS field in that document to refer to implementation supporting this STARTTLS protocol.
The server MAY consider the authentication performed by the TLS exchange as sufficient to issue Kerberos 5 tickets to the client, without requiring, e.g., pre-authentication. However, it is not an error to require or use pre-authentication as well.
The client may also indicate that it wishes to use TLS both for authentication and data protection by using the ‘NULL’ encryption type in its request. The server can decide from its local policy whether or not issuing tickets based solely on TLS authentication, and whether ‘NULL’ encryption within TLS, is acceptable or not. This mode is currently under investigation.
Because the initial token is not protected, it is possible for an active attacker to make it appear to the client that the server do not support this extension. It is up to client configuration to disallow non-TLS connections, if this vulnerability is deemed unacceptable. For interoperability, we suggest the default behaviour should be to allow automatic fallback to TCP or UDP.
The security considerations of both TLS and Kerberos 5 are inherited. Using TLS for authentication and/or data protection together with Kerberos alter the authentication logic fundamentally. Thus, it may be that even if the TLS and Kerberos 5 protocols and implementations were secure, the combination of TLS and Kerberos 5 described here could be insecure.
No channel bindings are provided in the Kerberos messages. It is an open question whether, and how, this should be fixed.
This appendix describe how Shishi use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm in Counter with CBC-MAC mode (RFC 3610) with the telnet encryption option (RFC 2946).
Encryption Type
AES_CCM 12
Suboption Commands
AES_CCM_INFO 1
AES_CCM_INFO_OK 2
AES_CCM_INFO_BAD 3
IAC SB ENCRYPT IS AES_CCM AES_CCM_INFO <M> <L> <nonce> IAC SE
The sender of this command select desired M and L parameters, and nonce, as described in RFC 3610, and sends it to the other side of the connection. The parameters and the nonce are sent in clear text. Only the side of the connection that is WILL ENCRYPT may send the AES_CCM_INFO command.
IAC SB ENCRYPT REPLY AES_CCM AES_CCM_INFO_BAD IAC SE
The sender of this command reject the parameters received in the AES_CCM_INFO command. Only the side of the connection that is DO ENCRYPT may send the AES_CCM_INFO_BAD command. The command MUST be sent if the nonce field length does not match the selected value for L. The command MAY be sent if the receiver do not accept the parameters for reason such as policy. No capability is provided to negotiate these parameters.
IAC SB ENCRYPT REPLY AES_CCM AES_CCM_INFO_OK IAC SE
The sender of this command accepts the parameters received in the AES_CCM_INFO command. Only the side of the connection that is DO ENCRYPT may send the AES_CCM_INFO_BAD command. The command MUST NOT be sent if the nonce field length does not match the selected value for L.
Once a AES_CCM_INFO_OK command has been received, the WILL ENCRYPT side of the connection should do keyid negotiation using the ENC_KEYID command. Once the keyid negotiation has successfully identified a common keyid, then START and END commands may be sent by the side of the connection that is WILL ENCRYPT. Data will be encrypted using the AES-CCM algorithm, with the negotiated nonce and parameters M and L. After each successful encryption and decryption, the nonce is treated as an integer in network byte order, and incremented by one.
If encryption (decryption) is turned off and back on again, and the same keyid is used when re-starting the encryption (decryption), the intervening clear text must not change the state of the encryption (decryption) machine. In particular, the AES-CCM nonce must not be re-set.
If a START command is sent (received) with a different keyid, the encryption (decryption) machine must be re-initialized immediately following the end of the START command with the new key and the parameters sent (received) in the last AES_CCM_INFO command.
If a new AES_CCM_INFO command is sent (received), and encryption (decryption) is enabled, the encryption (decryption) machine must be re-initialized immediately following the end of the AES_CCM_INFO command with the new nonce and parameters, and the keyid sent (received) in the last START command.
If encryption (decryption) is not enabled when a AES_CCM_INFO command is sent (received), the encryption (decryption) machine must be re- initialized after the next START command, with the keyid sent (received) in that START command, and the nonce and parameters sent (received) in this AES_CCM_INFO command.
At all times MUST each end make sure that a AES-CCM nonce is not used twice under the same encryption key. The rules above help accomplish this in an interoperable way.
<<This section is slightly complicated. Can't we simplify this?>>
As noted in the telnet ENCRYPTION option specifications, a keyid value of zero indicates the default encryption key, as might be derived from the telnet AUTHENTICATION option. If the default encryption key negotiated as a result of the telnet AUTHENTICATION option contains less than 32 bytes (corresponding to two 128 bit keys), then the AES_CCM option MUST NOT be offered or used as a valid telnet encryption option. Furthermore, depending on policy for key lengths, the AES_CCM option MAY be disabled if the default encryption key contain less than 48 bytes (for two 192 bit keys), or less than 64 bytes (for two 256 bit keys), as well.
The available encrypt key data is divided on two halves, where the first half is used to encrypt data sent from the server (decrypt data received by the client), and the second half is used to encrypt data sent from the client (decrypt data received by the server).
Note that the above algorithm assumes that the AUTHENTICATION mechanism generate keying material suitable for AES-CCM as used in this specification. This is not necessarily true in general, but we specify this behaviour as the default since it is true for most authentication systems in popular use today. New telnet AUTHENTICATION mechanisms may specify alternative methods for determining the keys to be used for this cipher suite in their specification, if the session key negotiated by that authentication mechanism is not a DES key and where this algorithm may not be safely used.
Kerberos 5 authentication clarification: The key used to encrypt data from the client to the server is taken from the sub-session key in the AP-REQ. The key used to decrypt data from the server to the client is taken from the sub-session key in the AP-REP. If mutual authentication is not negotiated, the key used to encrypt data from the client to the server is taken from the session key in the ticket, and the key used to decrypt data from the server to the client is taken from the sub-session key in the AP-REQ. Leaving the AP-REQ sub-key field empty MUST disable the AES_CCM option.
The protocol must be properly and securely implemented. For example, an implementation should not be vulnerable to various implementation-specific attacks such as buffer overflows or side-channel analysis.
We wish to repeat the suggestion from RFC 2946, to investigate in a STARTTLS approach for Telnet encryption (and also authentication), when the security level provided by this specification is not adequate.
The security consideration of the Telnet encryption protocol are inherited.
It should be noted that the it is up to the authentication protocol used, if any, to bind the authenticity of the peers to a specific session.
The Telnet encryption protocol does not, in general, protect against possibly malicious downgrading to any mutually acceptable, but not preferred, encryption type. This places a requirement on each peer to only accept encryption types it trust fully. In other words, the Telnet encryption protocol do not guarantee that the strongest mutually acceptable encryption type is always selected.
The integrity and privacy claims are inherited from AES-CCM. In particular, the implementation must make sure a nonce is not used more than once together with the same key.
Furthermore, the encryption key is assumed to be random, i.e., it should not be possible to guess it with probability of success higher than guessing any uniformly selected random key. RFC 1750 gives an overview of issues and recommendations related to randomness.
This document is based on the various Telnet Encryption RFCs (RFC 2946, RFC 2947, RFC 2948, RFC 2952 and RFC 2953).
This appendix describe the KCMDV0.2 protocol used in shishi patched version of inetutils. The KCMD protocol was developped by the MIT Kerberos team for kerberized rsh an rlogin programs. Differences between rlogin an rsh will be explained, like those between v0.1 and v0.2 of the protocol for compatibility reasons. It is possible that some parts of this document are not in conformity with original KCMD protocol because there is no official specification about it. However, it seems that shishi implementation is compatible with MIT's one.
Warning: If you are seriously considering using Kerberos rsh or rlogin, instead of more robust remote access protocols such as SSH, you may first want to explore http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~hildrum/kerberos/ and the full paper at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~hildrum/043.pdf.
First the client should establish a TCP connection with the server. Default ports are 543 (klogin), 544 (kshell), 2105 (eklogin). eklogin is the same as klogin but with encryption. Their is no longer ekshell port because encrypted and normal connection use the same port (kshell). Kshell need a second connection for stderr. The client should send a null terminated string that represent the port of this second connection. Klogin and eklogin does not use a second connection for stderr so the client must send a null byte to the server. Contrary to classic rsh/rlogin, server must not check if the client port is in the range 0-1023.
When connections are established, first thing to do is to indicate kerberos authentication must be used. So the client will send a string to indicate it will used kerberos 5. It will call a length-string "strl" the couple (lenght of the string strl, null terminated string strl). Length of the string is an int32 (32bits int) in MSB order (for the network). So the client send this length-string strl :
KRB5_SENDAUTH_V1.0
After that the client must indicate which version of the protocol it will used by sending this length-string strl :
KCMDV0.2
It can be V0.1 for older versions. If indentification from client is good, server will send a null byte (0x00). Else if authentication message is wrong, server send byte 0x01, else if protocol version message is wrong server send byte 0x02.
When client is indentified, kerberos authentication can begin. The client must send an AP-REQ to the server. AP-REQ authenticator must have a subkey (only for KCMDV0.2) and a checksum. Authenticator checksum is created on following string :
"serverport:""terminaltype""remoteusername"
for example :
543:linux/38400user
remoteusername corresponds to the identity of the client on remote machine.
AP-REQ is sended in der encoded format. The length (int32) of der encoded AP-REQ is sended in network format (MSB), following by the der encoded AP-REQ. If all is correct, server send a null int32 (MSB format but like it is null it is not important). KCMD protocol use mutual authentication, so server must now send and AP-REP : (in32 lenght in MSB of der encoded AP-REP)(der encoded AP-REP).
Now server and client are partially authenticated.
Client must now send 3 different null terminated strings (without lenght) :
example for rsh :
"rname\0"
"cat /usr/local/etc/shishi.conf"
"lname\0"
Server must verify that checksum in AP-REQ authenticator is correct by computing a new hash like client has done.
Server must verify that principal (in AP-REQ) has right to log in on the remote user account. For the moment shishi only check if remote user name is equal to principal. A more complex authorization code is planned. Look at the end to know how MIT/Heimdal do to check authorization.
If all is correct server send a null byte, else an error message string (null terminated string) is sent. User read the first byte. If it is equal to zero, authentication is correct and is logged on the remote host. Else user can read the error messsage send by the server.
For rlogin protocol, when authentication is complete, the server can optionnaly send a message to ask for window terminal size of user. Then the user can respond but it is not an obligation.
In KCMDV0.1 server send an urgent TCP message (MSG_OOB) with one byte :
TIOCPKT_WINDOW = 0x80
In KCMDV0.2 server does not send an urgent message but write on the socket 5 bytes :
'\377', '\377', 'o', 'o', TIOCPKT_WINDOW
If encryption is enabled (eklogin) server must send this 5 bytes encrypted.
Client can answer in both protocol version with :
'\377', '\377', 's', 's', "struct winsize"
The winsize structure is filled with corresponding setting to client's terminal. If encryption is enabled this answer must be send encrypted.
The "classic" rsh/rlogin can be used now.
Encryption mode is used when a connection with eklogin is established. Encryption with krsh can be used too. Before, there was a specific port for that (ekshell), but now to indicate that encryption must be used with krsh, client must add "-x " before the command when it send it between remote user name and local user name. When the client compute the checksum for AP-REQ authenticator the "- x" must not be included.
Encryption in KCMDV0.2 is not the same as in KCMDV0.1. KCMDV0.1 uses ticket session key as encryption key, and use standard Kerberos encryption functions. This protocol only supports des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-md5 and does not use initialisation vectors.
For example on each encryption/decryption calls, the following prototype kerberos function should be used :
kerberos_encrypt (key, keyusage, in, out) (or decrypt)
KCMDV0.2 can be used with all kerberos encryption modes (des, 3des, aes, arcfour) and use AP-REQ authenticator subkey. In opposite to KCMDV0.1 initialisation vectors are used. All encryptions/descryptions must be made using a cryptographic context (for example to use the updated iv, or sbox) :
kerberos_init(ctx, iv, key, keyusage)
kerberos_encrypt (ctx, in, out)
For both protocols, keyusage id for des-cbc-md5, des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-crc and des3-cbc-sha1 (for KCMDV0.2) :
keyusage = 1026
For other KCMDV0.2 modes keyusage is different for each encryption/decryption usage. To understand, eklogin use 1 socket. It encrypts data (output 1) to send and decrypts (input 1) received data. Kshell use 2 sockets (1 for transmit data, 1 for stderr). So there are four modes :
transmit : input 1 output 1 stderr : input 2 output 2
There is a keyusage for each modes. The keyusage must correspond on client and server side. For example in klogin client input 1 keyusage will be server output 1 keyusage.
| I/O | Client | Server
|
| intput 1 | 1028 | 1030
|
| output 1 | 1030 | 1028
|
| intput 2 | 1032 | 1034
|
| output 2 | 1034 | 1032
|
Those keyusages must be used with AES and ARCFOUR modes.
KCMDV0.2 uses IV (initialisation vector). Like for keyusage, client IV must correspond to server IV. IV size is equal to key type, blocksize. All bytes of IV must be initialised to :
| I/O | Client | Server
|
| intput 1 | 0 | 1
|
| output 1 | 1 | 0
|
| intput 2 | 2 | 3
|
| output 2 | 3 | 2
|
ARCFOUR mode does not use IV. However, like it is said before, a context must be used to keep the updated sbox.
Normal message with klogin and kshell are sent like that :
(int 32 lenght of message in MSB order)
(message)
In encrypted mode it is a bit different :
(int 32 length of unencrypted message in MSB order)
(encrypted message)
In KCMDV0.2 encrypted message is create like that :
encrypt (
(int 32 length of message in MSB order)
(message)
)
A check on message size can be made in second version of the protocol.
This part only gives possible ways to extend KCMD protocol. Does not take that as must have in KCMD implementation.
Extensions of KCMV0.2 could be made. For example kshell supposes there are no files with name "-x *". I think the same thing can be supposed with terminal name for klogin. So client could add "-x " to terminal type it sends to server to indicate it will use encryption. Like that there will be only one port for klogin/eklogin : 543.
In encrypted mode kshell send command in clear on the network, this could be considered as insecure as user have decided to use encryption. This is not really a problem for klogin because it just sends terminal type.
In encrypted mode, klogin and kshell clients could only send "-x" as command or terminal type. After that encryption is activated, and the client could send terminal type or command encrypted. The server will send the null byte to say that all is correct, or error message in encrypted form.
This part describes how MIT/Heimdal version check authorization of the user to log in on the remote machine.
Authorization check is made by looking if the file .k5login exists on the account of the remote user. If this file does not exist, remote user name must be the same as principal in AP-REQ to valid authorization. Else if this file exists, check first verify that remote user or root are the owner of .k5login. If it is not the case, the check fails. If it is good, check reads each line of that file and compare each readed name to principal. If principal is found in .k5login, authorization is valid, else user is not allowed to connect on remote host with the specified remote user name (that can be the same as principal).
So someone (for example user "user1") can remote log into "user2" account if .k5login is present in user2 home dir and this file is owned by user2 or root and user1 name is present in this file.
The des-cbc-crc algorithm (see Cryptographic Overview) uses
the DES key as the initialization vector. This is problematic in
general (see below5), but
may be mitigated in Kerberos by the CRC checksum that is also
included.

Yes, you're open to a chosen-ciphertext attack which recovers the key. Alice is sending stuff DES-CBC encrypted with key K to Bob. Mary is an active adversary in the middle. Suppose Alice encrypts some plaintext blocks P_1, P_2, P_3, ... in DES-CBC mode with K as the IV, and sends off the resulting ciphertext A->B: C_1, C_2, C_3, ... where each C_j is a 8-byte DES ciphertext block.

Bob will decrypt under DES-CBC, recovering the blocks Q_1, Q_2, Q_3 where Q_1 = DES-decrypt(K, C_1) xor K = P_1 Q_2 = DES-decrypt(K, C_2) xor C_1 = (some unimportant junk) Q_3 = DES-decrypt(K, C_1) xor 0 = P_1 xor K Bob gets this garbage-looking message Q_1,Q_2,Q_3 which Mary recovers (under the chosen-ciphertext assumption: this is like a known-plaintext attack, which isn't too implausible). Notice that Mary can recover K by K = Q_1 xor Q_3; so after this one simple active attack, Mary gets the key back! So, if you must use a fixed IV, don't use the key-- use 0 or something like that. Even better, don't use a fixed IV-- use the DES encryption of a counter, or something like that.

The Kerberos Keytab Binary File Format
Copyright (C) 2006 Michael B Allen <mba2000 ioplex.com>

The MIT keytab binary format is not a standard format, nor is it
documented anywhere in detail. The format has evolved and may continue
to. It is however understood by several Kerberos implementations including
Heimdal and of course MIT and keytab files are created by the ktpass.exe
utility from Windows. So it has established itself as the defacto format
for storing Kerberos keys.
The following C-like structure definitions illustrate the MIT keytab
file format. All values are in network byte order. All text is ASCII.
keytab {
uint16_t file_format_version; /* 0x502 */
keytab_entry entries[*];
};
keytab_entry {
int32_t size;
uint16_t num_components; /* sub 1 if version 0x501 */
counted_octet_string realm;
counted_octet_string components[num_components];
uint32_t name_type; /* not present if version 0x501 */
uint32_t timestamp;
uint8_t vno8;
keyblock key;
uint32_t vno; /* only present if >= 4 bytes left in entry */
};
counted_octet_string {
uint16_t length;
uint8_t data[length];
};
keyblock {
uint16_t type;
counted_octet_string;
};
The keytab file format begins with the 16 bit file_format_version which
at the time this document was authored is 0x502. The format of older
keytabs is described at the end of this document.
The file_format_version is immediately followed by an array of
keytab_entry structures which are prefixed with a 32 bit size indicating
the number of bytes that follow in the entry. Note that the size should be
evaluated as signed. This is because a negative value indicates that the
entry is in fact empty (e.g. it has been deleted) and that the negative
value of that negative value (which is of course a positive value) is
the offset to the next keytab_entry. Based on these size values alone
the entire keytab file can be traversed.
The size is followed by a 16 bit num_components field indicating the
number of counted_octet_string components in the components array.
The num_components field is followed by a counted_octet_string
representing the realm of the principal.
A counted_octet_string is simply an array of bytes prefixed with a 16
bit length. For the realm and name components, the counted_octet_string
bytes are ASCII encoded text with no zero terminator.
Following the realm is the components array that represents the name of
the principal. The text of these components may be joined with slashs
to construct the typical SPN representation. For example, the service
principal HTTP/www.foo.net@FOO.NET would consist of name components
"HTTP" followed by "www.foo.net".
Following the components array is the 32 bit name_type (e.g. 1 is
KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL, 2 is KRB5_NT_SRV_INST, 5 is KRB5_NT_UID, etc). In
practice the name_type is almost certainly 1 meaning KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL.
The 32 bit timestamp indicates the time the key was established for that
principal. The value represents the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.
The 8 bit vno8 field is the version number of the key. This value is
overridden by the 32 bit vno field if it is present.
The keyblock structure consists of a 16 bit value indicating the keytype
(e.g. 3 is des-cbc-md5, 23 is arcfour-hmac-md5, 16 is des3-cbc-sha1,
etc). This is followed by a counted_octet_string containing the key.
The last field of the keytab_entry structure is optional. If the size of
the keytab_entry indicates that there are at least 4 bytes remaining,
a 32 bit value representing the key version number is present. This
value supersedes the 8 bit vno8 value preceeding the keyblock.
Older keytabs with a file_format_version of 0x501 are different in
three ways:
1) All integers are in host byte order [1].
2) The num_components field is 1 too large (i.e. after decoding,
decrement by 1).
3) The 32 bit name_type field is not present.
[1] The file_format_version field should really be treated as two
separate 8 bit quantities representing the major and minor version
number respectively.

The Kerberos Credential Cache Binary File Format

Like the MIT keytab binary format (see Michael B Allen's reverse
engineered description in keytab.txt), the credential cache format is
not standard nor documented anywhere.
In C style notation, the MIT credential cache file format is as
follows. All values are in network byte order. All text is ASCII.
ccache {
uint16_t file_format_version; /* 0x0504 */
uint16_t headerlen; /* only if version is 0x0504 */
header headers[]; /* only if version is 0x0504 */
principal primary_principal;
credential credentials[*];
};
header {
uint16_t tag; /* 1 = DeltaTime */
uint16_t taglen;
uint8_t tagdata[taglen]
};
The ccache.taglen and ccache.tags fields are only present in 0x0504
versions, not in earlier. Both MIT and Heimdal appear to correctly
ignore unknown tags, so it appears safe to add them (although there is
no central place to "register" tags).
Currently only one tag is widely implemented, DeltaTime (0x0001). Its
taglen is always 8, and tagdata will contain:
DeltaTime {
uint32_t time_offset;
uint32_t usec_offset;
};
After reading the file_format_version, header tags, and default
principal, a list of credentials follow. You deduce from the file
length when there are no more credentials.
credential {
principal client;
principal server;
keyblock key;
times time;
uint8_t is_skey; /* 1 if skey, 0 otherwise */
uint32_t tktflags; /* stored in reversed byte order */
uint32_t num_address;
address addrs[num_address];
uint32_t num_authdata;
authdata authdata[num_authdata];
countet_octet_string ticket;
countet_octet_string second_ticket;
};
keyblock {
uint16_t keytype;
uint16_t etype; /* only present if version 0x0503 */
uint16_t keylen;
uint8_t keyvalue[keylen];
};
times {
uint32_t authtime;
uint32_t starttime;
uint32_t endtime;
uint32_t renew_till;
};
address {
uint16_t addrtype;
counted_octet_string addrdata;
};
authdata {
uint16_t authtype;
counted_octet_string authdata;
};
principal {
uint32_t name_type; /* not present if version 0x0501 */
uint32_t num_components; /* sub 1 if version 0x501 */
counted_octet_string realm;
counted_octet_string components[num_components];
};
counted_octet_string {
uint32_t length;
uint8_t data[length];
};

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.
A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.
A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
“CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.
“Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.
An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:
Copyright (C) year your name.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with...Texts.” line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being list.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
