+Internet-Draft GSS-API: Delegate if approved by policy August 2008
+
+
+Abstract
+
+ Several GSS-API applications work in a multi-tiered architecture,
+ where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act
+ on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the
+ server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web
+ applications that need to access e-mail or file servers as well as
+ CIFs file servers. However, delegating the ability to act as a user
+ to a party who is not sufficiently trusted is problematic from a
+ security standpoint. Kerberos provides a flag called OK-AS-DELEGATE
+ that allows the administrator of a Kerberos realm to communicate that
+ a particular service is trusted for delegation. This specification
+ adds support for this flag and similar facilities in other
+ authentication mechanisms to GSS-API (RFC 2743).

+
+2. Introduction
+
+ Several GSS-API applications work in a multi-tiered architecture,
+ where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act
+ on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the
+ server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web
+ applications that need to access e-mail or file servers as well as
+ CIFs file servers. However, delegating the ability to act as a user
+ to a party who is not sufficiently trusted is problematic from a
+ security standpoint.
+
+ Today, GSS-API [RFC2743] leaves the determination of whether
+ delegation is desired to the client application. If the client sets
+ the deleg_req_flag to gss_init_sec_context then the application
+ requests delegation. This requires client applications to know what
+ services should be trusted for delegation. In some cases, however, a
+ central authority is in a better position to know what services
+ should receive delegation than the client application. Some
+ mechanisms such as Kerberos [RFC4121] have a facility to allow a
+ realm administrator to communicate that a particular service is a
+ valid target for delegation. In Kerberos, the KDC can set the OK-AS-
+ DELEGATE flag in issued tickets. However even in such a case,
+ delegating to services for applications that do not need delegation
+ is problematic. So, it is desirable for a GSS-API client to be able
+ to request delegation if and only-if central policy reccomends
+ delegation to the given target.
+
+ This specification adds a new input flag to GSS_Init_sec_context to
+ request delegation when approved by central policy. In addition, a
+ constant value to be used in the GSS-API C bindings [RFC2744] is
+ defined. Finally, the behavior for the Kerberos mechanism [RFC4121]
+ is specified.

+
+
+3. GSS-API flag, c binding
+
+ The GSS_Init_sec_context API is extended to gain a new input flag: if
+ the deleg_policy_req flag is set, then delegation should be performed
+ if recommended by central policy. In addition, the C bindings are
+ extended to define the following constant to represent this new flag.
+
+
+
+ #define GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG 32768

+
+
+4. GSS-API behavior
+
+ As before, if the GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG is set, the GSS-API mechanism
+ tries to delegate. Output ret_flags contains the flag
+ GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG if delegation is successful.
+
+ If the GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG is set, the code delegates only if the
+ mechanism policy allows delegation. If delegation is done, the
+ output flag ret_flags contain both GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG and
+ GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG on the initator and GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG on the
+ acceptor.
+
+ If both GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG and GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG are set, then
+ delegation is attempted. However GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG is only set
+ in ret_flags on the initiator if GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG would have
+ been sufficient to request delegation.

+
+
+5. GSS-API behavior
+
+ If the GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG is set, the Kerberos GSS-API mechanism
+ will only delegate if ok-as-delegate is set [RFC4120] in the service
+ ticket. Other policy checks MAY be applied.

+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ Introduce a flag what allows client to get help from the KDC when to
+ delegate to servers, will limit what servers that client delegate
+ too.
