While several vendor-specific + protocols exist for changing Kerberos passwords/keys, none are + properly internationalized and all are incomplete in one respect or + another and none are sufficiently extensible to cope with new + features that may be added to Kerberos V at some future time. + + This document defines a protocol that is somewhat backward-compatible + with the "kpasswd" protocol defined in [RFC3244] that uses more or + less the same protocol framing. + + This new protocol is designed to be extensible and properly + internationalized. + +2 The Protocol + + +N. Williams [Page 2] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + The structure of the protocol is quite similar to that of typical RPC + protocols. Each transaction consists of a data structure specific to + an operation which is then wrapped in a data structure which is + general to all operations of the protocol. These data structures are + defined with the Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) [X680] and they + are encoded using the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X690]. + + All protocol data is wrapped KRB-PRIV messages, or, in some cases, a + KRB-ERROR, and framed in a header that is backwards compatible with + [RFC3244]. + +2.1 Transports + + The service supports only connection-oriented transports, + specifically TCP, and MUST accept requests on TCP port 464, the same + as in [RFC3244]. + +2.2 Protocol Framing + + Requests and responses are exchanged using the same framing as in + [RFC3244], but with the following differences: + + - the protocol number field MUST be set to 0x2 (not 0xff80 or 0x1) + + - the 'AP-REQ length' field of the request can be set to 0x0, in + which case the 'AP-REQ' field of the request is excluded + + - the 'KRB-PRIV' field of the request and reply is mutually + exclusive with the 'AP-REQ' field of the request + + - the 'AP-REP length' field of the reply can be set to 0x0, in + which case the 'AP-REP' field of the reply is excluded + + - all errors MUST be sent in a KRB-PRIV if the client's AP-REQ can + be or has been accepted by the server + + - any KRB-ERROR messages are framed and sent in the 'AP-REP' field + of the reply + + The initial message from the client MUST carry an AP-REQ and the + response to any request bearing an AP-REQ MUST carry an AP-REP or + MUST be a KRB-ERROR. + + Subsequent messages exchanged on the same TCP connection MAY involve + Kerberos V AP exchanges, but generally the client SHOULD NOT initiate + a new AP exchange except when it desires to authenticate as a + different principal, when the ticket last used for authentication + expires or when the server responds with an error indicating that the + client must re-authenticate. + +2.3 Protocol Version Negotiation + + There are several major versions of this protocol. Version 2 also + +N. Williams [Page 3] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + introduces a notion of protocol minor versions for use in negotiating + protocol extensions. As of this time only one minor version is + defined for major version 2: minor version 0, defined herein. + +2.3.1 Protocol Major Version Negotiation + + Version 2 clients that also support other versions, such as 0xff80, + as in [RFC3244], SHOULD attempt to use version 2 of the protocol + first. + + Servers which do not support version 2 of this protocol typically + include their preferred version number in the reply and/or may + include a reply in the e-data of a KRB-ERROR, or in a KRB-PRIV with a + status code of KRB5_KPASSWD_MALFORMED. + + Note that some [RFC3244] server implementations close the TCP + connection without returning any other response. Note also that + there is no integrity protection for the major version number in the + protocol framing or for any data in a KRB-ERROR. + + As a result change password protocol major version negotiation is + subject to downgrade attacks. Therefore major version negotiation is + NOT RECOMMENDED. + + Where the server indicates that it does not support version 2, the + client MAY, but SHOULD NOT, unless configured to do so, fall back on + another major version of this protocol. + + Version 2 servers MAY respond to non-v2 requests using whatever + response is appropriate for the versions used by the clients, but if + a server does not do this or know how to do this then it MUST respond + with an error framed as in section 2.2, using an AP-REP and KRB-PRIV + if the client's AP-REQ can be accepted, or a KRB-ERROR otherwise and + using a ProtocolErrorCode value of unsupported-major-version. + + It is expected that implementations of as yet unspecified future + major versions of this protocol will be required to support version 2 + integrity protected error replies for properly indicating no support + for version 2 of the protocl. We also hope that no further major + versions of this protocol will be needed. + +2.3.2 Protocol Minor Version Negotiation + + Version 2 clients are free to use whatever protocol minor version and + message extensions are available to them in their initial messages to + version 2 servers, provided that the minor versions (other than 0) + have been defined through IETF documents. + + Version 2 servers MUST answer with the highest protocol minor version + number supported by the server and the client. + + Version 2 clients MUST use the protocol minor version used in a + server's reply for any subsequent messages in the same TCP session. + +N. Williams [Page 4] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + + See section 2.7 for further description of the protocol's + extensibility and its relation to protocol minor versions and the + negotiation thereof. + +2.4 Use of Kerberos V and Key Exchange + + This protocol makes use of messages defined in [RFC1510] and + [clarifications]. Specifically, AP-REQ, AP-REP, KRB-ERROR and + KRB-PRIV. + + All operations are to be performed by the server on behalf of the + client principal. + + Clients SHOULD use "kadmin/setpw" as the principal name of the server + for all requests except when changing the client principal's own + expired password, for which they should use "kadmin/changepw". The + "kadmin/changepw" service exists to allow KDCs to limit principals + with expired passwords to getting initial tickets to the password + changing service only and only for changing expired passwords. + + Servers MUST limit clients that used the "kadmin/changepw" service + principal name to changing the password of the client principal. + + The client MUST request mutual authentication and the client MUST + MUST request the use of sequence numbers. + + Clients SHOULD use INITIAL tickets for requests whose target + principal is the client's principal. Servers SHOULD force the use of + INITIAL tickets for such requests and MAY force the use of INITIAL + for all others - see section 3.2. + + Servers MUST specify a sub-session key. + + The encrypted part of KRB-PRIVs MUST be encrypted with the server's + sub-session key and key usage 20 (client->server) or 21 + (server->client). + + After each new AP exchange the client and server MUST destroy the + session keys, if any, resulting from the previous AP exchange. + +2.5 Use of ASN.1 + + This protocol's messages are defined in ASN.1, using only features + from [X680]. All ASN.1 types defined herein are to be encoded in + DER [X690]. A complete ASN.1 module is given in section 4. + + The DER encoding of the ASN.1 PDUs are exchanged wrapped in a + KRB-PRIV as described above and/or as e-data in KRB-ERROR messages. + +2.6 Internationalization + + This protocol's request PDU carries an optional field indicating the + +N. Williams [Page 5] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + languages spoken by the client user; the client SHOULD send its list + of spoken languages to the server (once per-TCP session). + + The server SHOULD localize all strings intended for display to users + to a language in common with the languages spoken by the client user. + + Strings for Kerberos principal and realm names used in this protocol + are be constrained as per [clarifications]. + +2.6.1 Normalization Forms for UTF-8 Strings + + Because Kerberos V [clarifications] restricts principal names, realm + names and passwords to IA5String, this protocol uses UTF8String with + an extensible constraint to IA5String. + + Future versions of Kerberos may relax this constraint; if so then a + minor version of this protocol should relax this constraint + accordingly. + +2.6.2 Language Negotiation + + The server MUST pick a language from the client's input list or + the default language tag (see [RFC3066]) for text in its responses + which is meant for the user to read. + + The server SHOULD use a language selection algorithm such that + consideration is first given to exact matches between the client's + spoken languages and the server's available locales, followed by + "fuzzy" matches where only the first sub-tags of the client's + language tag list are used for matching against the servers available + locales. + + Servers MUST cache the optional language tag lists from prior + requests for use with subsequent requests that exclude the language + tag list. Clients MAY expect such server behaviour and send the + language tag lists only once per-TCP session. Clients SHOULD send + the server the language tag list at least once. + + When the server has a message catalog for one of the client's spoken + languages the server SHOULD localize any text strings intended for + display to users. + +2.7 Protocol Extensibility + + The protocol is defined in ASN.1 and uses extensibility markers + throughout. As such, the module presented herein can be extended + within the framework of [X680]. + + Typed holes are not used in this protocol as it is very simple and + does not require the ability to deal with abstract data types defined + in different layers. For this reason, the only way to extend this + protocol is by extending the ASN.1 module within the framework of the + IETF; all future extensions to this protocol have to be defined in + +N. Williams [Page 6] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + IETF documents unless otherwise specified in a future IETF revision + of this protocol. + + A protocol minor version number is used to negotiate use of + extensions. See section 2.3.2 for the minor version negotiation. + + Servers SHOULD ignore unknown additions to the ASN.1 types, in + initial requests, where the syntax allows them, except for extensions + to the "Op-req" type, which MUST result in an error. + + Servers MUST respond with an error (ProtocolErrorCode value of + unsupported-minor-version) to clients that use operations unknown to + the server. + +2.8 Protocol Subsets + + The structure of the protocol is such that the ASN.1 syntaxes for the + various operations supported by the protocol are independent of the + each other. Client and server implementations MAY implement subsets + of the overall protocol by removing some alternatives to the Op-req, + Op-rep and Op-err CHOICEs from the ASN.1 module given in section 4. + + For example, it should be possible to have a password-change only + client that cannot set principal's keys - and vice versa. + +3 Protocol Elements + + The protocol as defined herein supports the following operations + relating to the management of Kerberos principal's passwords or keys: + + [NOTE: New since last version of this I-D.] + - get principal's current and preferred string-to-key parameters + + - change password (or enctypes and string-to-key parameters) + - set password (administrative) + - set new keys + - generate new keys + - get new, un-committed keys + - commit new keys + - get password policy name and/or description of principal + - list aliases of a principal + - list enctypes and version of Kerberos V supported by realm + + The operation for retrieving a list of aliases of a principal is + needed where KDCs implement aliasing of principal names and allows + clients to properly setup their key databases when principal aliasing + is in use. + + Operations such as creation or deletion of principals are outside the + scope of this document, and should be performed via other means, such + as through directories or other Kerberos administration protocols. + + The individual operations are described in section 3.2. + +N. Williams [Page 7] + + +DRAFT Kerberos Set/Change Password v2 Expires January 2005 + + +3.1 PDUs + + The types "Request," "Response" and "Error-Response" are the ASN.1 + module's PDUs. + + The "Request" and "Response" PDUs are always to be sent wrapped in + KRB-PRIV messages, except for the "Error-Response" PDU which MUST be + sent as KRB-ERROR e-data (see section 2.4.1) when AP exchanges fail, + otherwise it MUST be sent wrapped in a KRB-PRIV. + + The ASN.1 syntax for the PDUs is given in section 4. + + Note that the first field of each PDU is the major version of the + protocol, defaulted to 2, meaning that it is never included in + version 2 exchanges. Similarly, the second field of each PDU is the + minor version, defaulted to 0. + + The request, responses and error PDUs consist of an outer structure + ("Request," "Response" and "Error-Response") containing fields common + to all requests, responses and errors, respectively, and an inner + structure for fields that are specific to each operation's + requests/responses. The inner structure is optional in the case of + the Error-Response PDU and need not be included when generic errors + occur for which there is a suitable ProtocolErrorCode. + + Specifically, the outer Request structure has a field for passing a + client user's spoken (read) languages to the server. It also has two + optional fields for identifying the requested operation's target + principal's name and realm (if not sent then the server MUST use the + client's principal name and realm as the target). A boolean field + for indicating whether or not the request should be dry-run is also + included; dry-runs can be used to test server policies, and servers + MUST NOT modify any principals when processing dry-run requests. + + The Response and Error PDUs' outer structures include a field + indicating the language that the server has chosen for localization + of text intended to be displayed to users; this field is defaulted to + "i-default". This language tag applies to all UTF8 strings in the + inner structure (Op-rep and Op-err) that are meant to be displayed to + users. + + The protocol error codes are: + + - proto-generic-error + + An operation-specific error ocurred, see the inner Op-error. + + - proto-format-error + - proto-unsupported-major-version + - proto-unsupported-minor-version + - proto-unsupported-operation + + +N.

This + feature provides a way to, for example, add enctypes to a + principals' password-derived long-term keys without forcing a + password change following an upgrade to the KDC that adds support + for new enctypes. + + A client MAY request that the server generate a new password by + excluding the new password from its request, in which case the + server MUST either generate a new password or respond with an + error indicating that it does not support this feature. + + Server-generated passwords MUST meet the target principal's + password quality policy. It is RECOMMENDED that server-generated + passwords be user-friendly, that is, memorable and that the target + principal's preferred languages be taken into account by the + password generation alogrithm used by the server. + + Uncommitted password changes are commited using the commit-keys + operation. + + RETURN + + Upon successful password changes the server responds with a + Rep-change-pw. The fields of Rep-change-pw are all optional and + include: + + - 'info-text' which the server can use to send a message to the + user such as "Your new password will expire in 90 days," for + example. + + - 'new-pw' which the server MUST include if the client + +N.
