45 The memo documents a method for a Kerberos Key Distribution Center
46 (KDC) to respond to client requests for Kerberos tickets when the
47 client does not have detailed configuration information on the realms
48 of users or services. The KDC will handle requests for principals in
49 other realms by returning either a referral error or a cross-realm
50 TGT to another realm on the referral path. The clients will use this

113 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
118 Current implementations of the Kerberos AS and TGS protocols, as
119 defined in [RFC4120], use principal names constructed from a known
120 user or service name and realm. A service name is typically
121 constructed from a name of the service and the DNS host name of the
122 computer that is providing the service. Many existing deployments of
123 Kerberos use a single Kerberos realm where all users and services
124 would be using the same realm. However in an environment where there
125 are multiple trusted Kerberos realms, the client needs to be able to
126 determine what realm a particular user or service is in before making
127 an AS or TGS request. Traditionally this requires client
128 configuration to make this possible.
130 When having to deal with multiple trusted realms, users are forced to
131 know what realm they are in before they can obtain a ticket granting
132 ticket (TGT) with an AS request. However, in many cases the user
133 would like to use a more familiar name that is not directly related
134 to the realm of their Kerberos principal name. A good example of
135 this is an RFC 822 style email name. This document describes a
136 mechanism that would allow a user to specify a user principal name
137 that is an alias for the user's Kerberos principal name. In practice
138 this would be the name that the user specifies to obtain a TGT from a
139 Kerberos KDC. The user principal name no longer has a direct
140 relationship with the Kerberos principal or realm. Thus the
141 administrator is able to move the user's principal to other realms
142 without the user having to know that it happened.
144 Once a user has a TGT, they would like to be able to access services
145 in any trusted Kerberos realm. To do this requires that the client
146 be able to determine what realm the target service principal is in
147 before making the TGS request. Current implementations of Kerberos
148 typically have a table that maps DNS host names to corresponding
149 Kerberos realms. The user-supplied host name or its domain component
150 is looked up in this table (often using the result of some form of
151 host name lookup performed with insecure DNS queries, in violation of
152 [RFC4120]). The corresponding realm is then used to complete the
153 target service principal name.
155 This traditional mechanism requires that each client have very
156 detailed configuration information about the hosts that are providing
157 services and their corresponding realms. Having client side
158 configuration information can be very costly from an administration
159 point of view - especially if there are many realms and computers in
162 There are also cases where specific DNS aliases (local names) have
163 been setup in an organization to refer to a server in another
167 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 3]
169 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
172 organization (remote server). The server has different DNS names in
173 each organization and each organization has a Kerberos realm that is
174 configured to service DNS names within that organization. Ideally
175 users are able to authenticate to the server in the other
176 organization using the local server name. This would mean that the
177 local realm be able to produce a ticket to the remote server under
178 its name. The administrator in the local realm could give that
179 remote server an identity in the local realm and then have that
180 remote server maintain a separate secret for each alias it is known
181 as. Alternatively the administrator could arrange to have the local
182 realm issue a referral to the remote realm and notify the requesting
183 client of the server's remote name that should be used in order to
186 This memo proposes a solution for these problems and simplifies
187 administration by minimizing the configuration information needed on
188 each computer using Kerberos. Specifically it describes a mechanism
189 to allow the KDC to handle canonicalization of names, provide for
190 principal aliases for users and services and allow the KDC to
191 determine the trusted realm authentication path by being able to
192 generate referrals to other realms in order to locate principals.
194 Two kinds of KDC referrals are introduced in this memo:
196 1. Client referrals, in which the client doesn't know which realm
197 contains a user account.
198 2. Server referrals, in which the client doesn't know which realm
199 contains a server account.
202 2. Conventions Used in This Document
204 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
205 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
206 document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
209 3. Requesting a Referral
211 In order to request referrals defined in section 5, 6, and 7, the
212 Kerberos client MUST explicitly request the canonicalize KDC option
213 (bit 15) [RFC4120] for the AS-REQ or TGS-REQ. This flag indicates to
214 the KDC that the client is prepared to receive a reply that contains
215 a principal name other than the one requested.
218 KDCOptions ::= KerberosFlags
223 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 4]
225 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
228 -- other KDCOptions values omitted
230 The client should expect, when sending names with the "canonicalize"
231 KDC option, that names in the KDC's reply MAY be different than the
232 name in the request. A referral TGT is a cross realm TGT that is
233 returned with the server name of the ticket being different from the
234 server name in the request [RFC4120].
237 4. Realm Organization Model
239 This memo assumes that the world of principals is arranged on
240 multiple levels: the realm, the enterprise, and the world. A KDC may
241 issue tickets for any principal in its realm or cross-realm tickets
242 for realms with which it has a direct trust relationship. The KDC
243 also has access to a trusted name service that can resolve any name
244 from within its enterprise into a realm. This trusted name service
245 removes the need to use an un-trusted DNS lookup for name resolution.
247 For example, consider the following configuration, where lines
248 indicate trust relationships:
253 ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM DEV.EXAMPLE.COM
255 In this configuration, all users in the EXAMPLE.COM enterprise could
256 have principal names such as alice@EXAMPLE.COM, with the same realm
257 portion. In addition, servers at EXAMPLE.COM should be able to have
258 DNS host names from any DNS domain independent of what Kerberos realm
259 their principals reside in.
262 5. Client Name Canonicalization
264 A client account may have multiple principal names. More useful,
265 though, is a globally unique name that allows unification of email
266 and security principal names. For example, all users at EXAMPLE.COM
267 may have a client principal name of the form "joe@EXAMPLE.COM" even
268 though the principals are contained in multiple realms. This global
269 name is again an alias for the true client principal name, which
270 indicates what realm contains the principal. Thus, accounts "alice"
271 in the realm DEV.EXAMPLE.COM and "bob" in ADMIN.EXAMPLE.COM may log
272 on as "alice@EXAMPLE.COM" and "bob@EXAMPLE.COM".
274 This utilizes a new client principal name type, as the AS-REQ message
275 only contains a single realm field, and the realm portion of this
279 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 5]
281 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
284 name corresponds to the Kerberos realm with which the request is
285 made. Thus, the entire name "alice@EXAMPLE.COM" is transmitted as a
286 single component in the client name field of the AS-REQ message, with
287 a name type of NT-ENTERPRISE [RFC4120] (and the local realm name).
288 The KDC will recognize this name type and then transform the
289 requested name into the true principal name if the client account
290 resides in the local realm. The true principal name can have a name
291 type different from the requested name type. Typically the true
292 principal name will be a NT-PRINCIPAL [RFC4120].
294 If the "canonicalize" KDC option is set, then the KDC MAY change the
295 client principal name and type in the AS response and ticket returned
296 from the name type of the client name in the request, and include a
297 mandatory PA-DATA object authenticating the client name mapping:
299 ReferralInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
300 requested-name [0] PrincipalName,
301 mapped-name [1] PrincipalName,
304 PA-CLIENT-CANONICALIZED ::= SEQUENCE {
305 names [0] ReferralInfo,
306 canon-checksum [1] Checksum
309 The canon-checksum field is computed over the DER encoding of the
310 names sequences, using the AS reply key and a key usage value of
313 If the client name is unchanged, the PA-CLIENT-CANONICALIZED data is
314 not included. If the client name is changed, and the PA-CLIENT-
315 CANONICALIZED field does not exist, or the checksum cannot be
316 verified, or the requested-name field doesn't match the client name
317 in the originally-transmitted request, the client should discard the
320 For example the AS request may specify a client name of "bob@
321 EXAMPLE.COM" as an NT-ENTERPRISE name with the "canonicalize" KDC
322 option set and the KDC will return with a client name of "104567" as
323 a NT-UID, and a PA-CLIENT-CANONICALIZED field listing the NT-
324 ENTERPRISE "bob@EXAMPLE.COM" principal as the requested-name and the
325 NT-UID "104567" principal as the mapped-name.
327 (It is assumed that the client discovers whether the KDC supports the
328 NT-ENTERPRISE name type via out of band mechanisms.)
330 In order to enable one party in a user-to-user exchange to confirm
331 the identity of another when only the alias is known, the KDC MAY
335 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 6]
337 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
340 include the following authorization data element, wrapped in AD-KDC-
341 ISSUED, in the initial credentials and copy it from a ticket-granting
342 ticket into additional credentials:
344 AD-LOGIN-ALIAS ::= SEQUENCE { -- ad-type number TBD --
345 login-aliases [0] SEQUENCE(1..MAX) OF PrincipalName,
348 The login-aliases field lists one or more of the aliases the
349 principal may have used in the initial ticket request.
351 The recipient of this authenticator must check the AD-LOGIN-ALIAS
352 names, if present, in addition to the normal client name field,
353 against the identity of the party with which it wishes to
354 authenticate; either should be allowed to match. (Note that this is
355 not backwards compatible with [RFC4120]; if the server side of the
356 user-to-user exchange does not support this extension, and does not
357 know the true principal name, authentication may fail if the alias is
358 sought in the client name field.)
363 The simplest form of ticket referral is for a user requesting a
364 ticket using an AS-REQ. In this case, the client machine will send
365 the AS-REQ to a convenient trusted realm, for example the realm of
366 the client machine. In the case of the name alice@EXAMPLE.COM, the
367 client MAY optimistically choose to send the request to EXAMPLE.COM.
368 The realm in the AS-REQ is always the name of the realm that the
369 request is for as specified in [RFC4120].
371 The KDC will try to lookup the name in its local account database.
372 If the account is present in the realm of the request, it SHOULD
373 return a KDC reply structure with the appropriate ticket.
375 If the account is not present in the realm specified in the request
376 and the "canonicalize" KDC option is set, the KDC will try to lookup
377 the entire name, alice@EXAMPLE.COM, using a name service. If this
378 lookup is unsuccessful, it MUST return the error
379 KDC_ERR_C_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN [RFC4120]. If the lookup is successful,
380 it MUST return an error KDC_ERR_WRONG_REALM [RFC4120] and in the
381 error message the crealm field will contain either the true realm of
382 the client or another realm that MAY have better information about
383 the client's true realm. The client SHALL NOT use a cname returned
384 from a Kerberos error until that name is validated.
386 If the client receives a KDC_ERR_WRONG_REALM error, it will issue a
387 new AS request with the same client principal name used to generate
391 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 7]
393 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
396 the first referral to the realm specified by the realm field of the
397 Kerberos error message corresponding to the first request. (The
398 client realm name will be updated in the new request to refer to this
399 new realm.) The client SHOULD repeat these steps until it finds the
400 true realm of the client. To avoid infinite referral loops, an
401 implementation should limit the number of referrals. A suggested
402 limit is 5 referrals before giving up.
404 Since the same client name is sent to the referring and referred-to
405 realms, both realms must recognize the same client names. In
406 particular, the referring realm cannot (usefully) define principal
407 name aliases that the referred-to realm will not know.
409 The true principal name of the client, returned in AS-REQ, can be
410 validated in a subsequent TGS message exchange where its value is
411 communicated back to the KDC via the authenticator in the PA-TGS-REQ
417 The primary difference in server referrals is that the KDC MUST
418 return a referral TGT rather than an error message as is done in the
419 client referrals. There needs to be a place to include in the reply
420 information about what realm contains the server. This is done by
421 returning information about the server name in the pre-authentication
422 data field of the KDC reply [RFC4120], as specified later in this
425 If the KDC resolves the server principal name into a principal in the
426 realm specified by the service realm name, it will return a normal
429 If the "canonicalize" flag in the KDC options is not set, the KDC
430 MUST only look up the name as a normal principal name in the
431 specified server realm. If the "canonicalize" flag in the KDC
432 options is set and the KDC doesn't find the principal locally, the
433 KDC MAY return a cross-realm ticket granting ticket to the next hop
434 on the trust path towards a realm that may be able to resolve the
435 principal name. The true principal name of the server SHALL be
436 returned in the padata of the reply if it is different from what is
437 specified the request.
439 When a referral TGT is returned, the KDC MUST return the target realm
440 for the referral TGT as an KDC supplied pre-authentication data
441 element in the response. This referral information in pre-
442 authentication data MUST be encrypted using the session key from the
443 reply ticket. The key usage value for the encryption operation used
447 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 8]
449 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
452 by PA-SERVER-REFERRAL is 26.
454 The pre-authentication data returned by the KDC, which contains the
455 referred realm and the true principal name of server, is encoded in
458 PA-SERVER-REFERRAL 25
460 PA-SERVER-REFERRAL-DATA ::= EncryptedData
461 -- ServerReferralData --
463 ServerReferralData ::= SEQUENCE {
464 referred-realm [0] Realm OPTIONAL,
465 -- target realm of the referral TGT
466 true-principal-name [1] PrincipalName OPTIONAL,
467 -- true server principal name
468 requested-principal-name [2] PrincipalName OPTIONAL,
469 -- requested server name
473 Clients SHALL NOT accept a reply ticket, whose the server principal
474 name is different from that of the request, if the KDC response does
475 not contain a PA-SERVER-REFERRAL padata entry.
477 The requested-principal-name MUST be included by the KDC, and MUST be
478 verified by the client, if the client sent an AS-REQ, as protection
479 against a man-in-the-middle modification to the AS-REQ message.
481 The referred-realm field is present if and only if the returned
482 ticket is a referral TGT, not a service ticket for the requested
485 When a referral TGT is returned and the true-principal-name field is
486 present, the client MUST use that name in the subsequent requests to
487 the server realm when following the referral.
489 Client SHALL NOT accept a true server principal name for a service
490 ticket if the true-principal-name field is not present in the PA-
491 SERVER-REFERRAL data.
493 The client will use this referral information to request a chain of
494 cross-realm ticket granting tickets until it reaches the realm of the
495 server, and can then expect to receive a valid service ticket.
497 However an implementation should limit the number of referrals that
498 it processes to avoid infinite referral loops. A suggested limit is
499 5 referrals before giving up.

508 Here is an example of a client requesting a service ticket for a
509 service in realm DEV.EXAMPLE.COM where the client is in

522 C: TGS-REQ sname=http/foo.dev.example.com +NC to DEV.EXAMPLE.COM
523 S: TGS-REP sname=http/foo.dev.example.com@DEV.EXAMPLE.COM
525 Note that any referral or alias processing of the server name in
526 user-to-user authentication should use the same data as client name
527 canonicalization or referral. Otherwise, the name used by one user
528 to log in may not be useable by another for user-to-user
529 authentication to the first.
532 8. Server Name Canonicalization (Informative)
534 No attempt is being made in this document to provide a means for
535 dealing with local-realm server principal name canonicalization or
536 aliasing. The most obvious use case for this would be a hostname-
537 based service principal name ("host/foobar.example.com"), with a DNS
538 alias ("foo") for the server host which is used by the client. There
539 are other ways this can be handled, currently, though they may
540 require additional configuration on the application server or KDC or
544 9. Cross Realm Routing
546 The current Kerberos protocol requires the client to explicitly
547 request a cross-realm TGT for each pair of realms on a referral
548 chain. As a result, the client need to be aware of the trust
549 hierarchy and of any short-cut trusts (those that aren't parent-
552 Instead, using the server referral routing mechanism as defined in
553 Section 7, The KDC will determine the best path for the client and
554 return a cross-realm TGT as the referral TGT, and the target realm
555 for this TGT in the PA-SERVER-REFERRAL of the KDC reply.
559 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 10]
561 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
564 If the "canonicalize" KDC option is not set, the KDC SHALL NOT return
565 a referral TGT. Clients SHALL NOT process referral TGTs if the KDC
566 response does not contain the PA-SERVER-REFERRAL padata.
569 10. Caching Information
571 It is possible that the client may wish to get additional credentials
572 for the same service principal, perhaps with different authorization-
573 data restrictions or other changed attributes. The return of a
574 server referral from a KDC can be taken as an indication that the
575 requested principal does not currently exist in the local realm.
576 Clearly, it would reduce network traffic if the clients could cache
577 that information and use it when acquiring the second set of
578 credentials for a service, rather than always having to re-check with
579 the local KDC to see if the name has been created locally.
581 Rather than introduce a new timeout field for this cached
582 information, we can use the lifetime of the returned TGT in this
583 case. When the TGT expires, the previously returned referral from
584 the local KDC should be considered invalid, and the local KDC must be
585 asked again for information for the desired service principal name.
586 (Note that the client may get back multiple referral TGTs from the
587 local KDC to the same remote realm, with different lifetimes. The
588 lifetime information must be properly associated with the requested
589 service principal names. Simply having another TGT for the same
590 remote realm does not extend the validity of previously acquired
591 information about one service principal name.) If the client is
592 still in contact with the service and needs to reauthenticate to the
593 same service regardless of local service principal name assignments,
594 it should use the referred-realm and true-principal-name values when
595 requesting new credentials.
597 Accordingly, KDC authors and maintainers should consider what factors
598 (e.g., DNS alias lifetimes) they may or may not wish to incorporate
599 into credential expiration times in cases of referrals.
604 When should client name aliases be included in credentials?
606 Should all known client name aliases be included, or only the one
607 used at initial ticket acquisition?
609 We still don't discuss what "validation" of the returned information
615 Raeburn & Zhu Expires September 6, 2007 [Page 11]
617 Internet-Draft KDC Referrals March 2007
620 12. Security Considerations
622 For the AS exchange case, it is important that the logon mechanism
623 not trust a name that has not been used to authenticate the user.
624 For example, the name that the user enters as part of a logon
625 exchange may not be the name that the user authenticates as, given
626 that the KDC_ERR_WRONG_REALM error may have been returned. The
627 relevant Kerberos naming information for logon (if any), is the
628 client name and client realm in the service ticket targeted at the
629 workstation that was obtained using the user's initial TGT.
631 How the client name and client realm is mapped into a local account
632 for logon is a local matter, but the client logon mechanism MUST use
633 additional information such as the client realm and/or authorization
634 attributes from the service ticket presented to the workstation by

642 to encrypt the referral data, which prevents cut and paste attack
643 using the referral data and referral TGTs.

739 3) When PKINIT ([RFC4556]) is used, the NT-ENTERPRISE client name is
740 encoded as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension [RFC3280] in
741 the client's X.509 certificate. The type of the otherName field
742 for this SAN extension is AnotherName [RFC3280]. The type-id
743 field of the type AnotherName is id-ms-sc-logon-upn
744 (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3) and the value field of the type
745 AnotherName is a KerberosString [RFC4120]. The value of this
746 KerberosString type is the single component in the name-string
747 [RFC4120] sequence for the corresponding NT-ENTERPRISE name type.
749 In Microsoft's current implementation through the use of global
750 catalogs any domain in one forest is reachable from any other domain
751 in the same forest or another trusted forest with 3 or less
752 referrals. A forest is a collection of realms with hierarchical
753 trust relationships: there can be multiple trust trees in a forest;
754 each child and parent realm pair and each root realm pair have
755 bidirectional transitive direct rusts between them.
757 While we might want to permit multiple aliases to exist and even be
758 reported in AD-LOGIN-ALIAS, the Microsoft implementation permits only
759 one NT-ENTERPRISE alias to exist, so this question had not previously

767 09 Changed to EXAMPLE.COM instead of using Morgan Stanley's domain.
768 Rewrote description of existing practice. (Don't name the lookup
769 table consulted. Mention that DNS "canonicalization" is contrary
770 to [RFC4120].) Noted Microsoft behavior should be moved out into
771 a separate document. Changed some second-person references in the
772 introduction to identify the proper parties. Changed PA-CLIENT-
773 CANONICALIZED to use a separate type for the actual referral data,
774 add an extension marker to that type, and change the checksum key
775 from the "returned session key" to the "AS reply key". Changed
776 AD-LOGIN-ALIAS to contain a sequence of names, to be contained in
777 AD-KDC-ISSUED instead of AD-IF-RELEVANT, and to drop the no longer
778 needed separate checksum. Attempt to clarify the cache lifetime
779 of referral information.

789 local server name canonicalization. Added optional authz-data for
790 login alias, to support user-to-user case. Added requested-
