Kerberos Challenge Response Authentication Protocol [KCRAP]
Version 0.2.1

Release Notes

========================================================================


Notes about this version
------------------------

This is an initial proof-of-concept quality code.
It has been tested and verified to work acceptably on my system.
Some important features are still missing in this program.
Use at your own risk.
APIs and network protocols are subject to change.
See TODO file for list of missing features.
Supports MIT KRB5 1.4-1.7



Building and installing KCRAP
-----------------------------

1) Extract the KCRAP distribution file

2) Run configure:
   ./configure [arguments]

   Configure arguments of note:
     --with-server
         Enable building of KCRAP server (see note on --with-mit-krb5-src)
     --with-mit-krb5-src=PATH
         Location of MIT KerberosV source code (recommended when building
	 server.)  KCRAP will want to use kdb.h from this location in the
	 server code.  KCRAP also ships with a "stub" version of kdb.h from
	 MIT Kerberos versions 1.4.4 and 1.6.2.  It will try to determine
	 the correct version to use, but you should specify the correct
	 path of kdb.h from your Kerberos build in order to ensure
	 compatibility.

   IMPORTANT:
	KCRAP server will not be built unless it finds a usable kdb.h.
	You mist specify either --with-mit-krb5-src=PATH to use the one
	shipped with your KerberosV version, or use --with-server without
	specifying --with-mit-krb5-src=PATH if you want to use the one
	shipped with KCRAP.

3) Build KCRAP:
   make all

4) Install KCRAP:
   make install



Configuring KCRAP Server
------------------------

KCRAP server requires a configuration file to run.  A sample configuration
file is included in server/kcrap_server.conf.  Its syntax is similar to
the kdc configuration.

Example:

[kcrap_server]
	# port (required) specifies the port KCRAP listens on
	port = 89

	# realm (required) specifies the realm used for communication
	# security and authentication
	# only one realm is currently supported
	realm = EXAMPLE.COM

# realm specification (optional) is similar to that of kdc.conf.

[realms]
	EXAMPLE.COM = {
		database_name = /var/krb5kdc/EXAMPLE.COM/principal
		key_stash_file = /var/krb5kdc/EXAMPLE.COM/.k5.EXAMPLE.COM
	}

IMPORTANT:
	In order to authenticate with the NTLM family of challenge response
	protocols, you must have NTLM password hashes stored in your
	Kerberos database.  Make sure you have "arcfour-hmac:normal"
	specified specified as a supported encryption type in your kdc.conf.
	Your users will also need to change their password after you
	have added any encryption types.
	


Configuring KCRAP Library
-------------------------

You must specify the KCRAP server for each realm in your krb5.conf file.
For each KCRAP server, put a line in your krb5.conf file under the correct
realm:
	kcrap = kdc.example.com:89

Example:

[realms]
	EXAMPLE.COM = {
		kdc = kdc1.example.com:88
		kcrap = kdc1.example.com:89
		kdc = kdc2.example.com:88
		kcrap = kdc2.example.com:89
		kdc = kdc3.example.com:88
		kcrap = kdc3.example.com:89
		admin_server = kdc1.example.com:749
		default_domain = example.com
	}



Testing your KCRAP setup
------------------------

KCRAP ships with test clients for each challenge/response protocol that it
supports.  To test:

1) Create in your Kerberos database a test account:
	USERNAME: user
	PASSWORD: SecREt01

2) Run each test in the test directory.  Tests should respond with the
   output: "Authentication OK"

3) Probably a good idea to delete your test account now.


Getting your services to work with KCRAP
----------------------------------------

Patches to get KCRAP working with some programs can be found at:
	http://www.spock.org/kcrap/

The C API for KCRAP is fairly simple:

1) Obtain KCRAP context:
	struct kcrap_context *kcontext =kcrap_init(char* keytab, char* service);

	Arguments:
		keytab: location of keytab file, or NULL for default
		service: service name of principal, or NULL for "host"

	Returns:
		kcrap_context, or NULL on error.  errno is set on error.

2) Fill out request structure
	struct kcrap_auth_req_data req;
	bzero(req, sizeof(req));
	req.chal_type.data = "NTLM"
	req.chal_type.length = 4;
	[...]
   There is no need to fill out pkt_type
   timestamp and nonce will be filled automatically if they are 0.

   For NTLM:
	alt_username is not used
	either server_challenge or client_challenge contains the challenge
	response contains the NTLM response

   For NTLM2:
	alt_username is the NT domain name
	server_challenge is the (8-byte) server generated challenge
	client_challenge is the client generated blob
	response contains the 16-byte MD5 hash response

   For NTLM2S:
	alt_username is not used
	server_challenge is the (8-byte) server generated challenge
	client_challenge is the (8-byte) client generated blob
	response contains the 24-byte response

3) Request authentication
	int retval = kcrap_try((struct kcrap_context *kcontext, struct kcrap_auth_req_data *req, int *auth_status);

	Arguments:
		kcontext: context from kcrap_init
		req: request structure
		auth_status: status of authentication (bitwise OR):
			0 - failed
			KCRAP_AUTH_OK - authentication successful
			KCRAP_AUTH_COOKIE_OK - server_challenge_cookie check OK

	Returns:
		0 if no error, or errno.

4) Destroy context
	kcrap_free(struct kcrap_context *kcontext);

a) Error messages:
	kcrap_errmsg() will return the latest error message.
