Overview—HummingbirdConnectivityKerberos

KerberosisasecurityauthenticationprotocoldevelopedatMIT.The

protocolprovidesasecuremeansofcommunicationbetweentwoparties

acrossaninsecurenetwork.Ingeneral,thecommunicationisbetweena

userandaremoteservice.

Tocommunicatesecurely,eachpartyprovesitsidentitytotheotherusing

apairofencryptedcredentialsthatathirdparty,theKerberosservice,

generatesthroughsymmetriccryptography.Ineffect,eachpartyserves

astheother'sauthenticationagent.Onlytheuser,remoteservice,and

Kerberosserviceknowthekeysnecessarytodecryptthecredentials.

Theprotocol,therefore,preventsathirdpartyfromimpersonatingeither

oftheoriginalparties.

KerberosParticipants

TheKerberosprotocolinvolvestheactionsoffiveparticipants,asfollows:

User—Thepersonwhoinitiatescommunicationwitharemoteservice.

Client—Thesoftwarethatcommunicateswiththeserviceonbehalfof

theuser.InthecaseofHostExplorer,thereareactuallytwoclientsin

operation:

TheKerberosclient—retrievesyourcredentialsfromtheKerberos

serviceandsendsthemtotheremoteserviceforauthentication

HostExplorer—communicateswiththeremoteservicesoncetheuser

hasbeenauthenticated

RemoteService—Theserviceontheremotehostthatcommunicates

withtheclient.HostExplorer,forexample,communicateswiththeTelnet

service.

KerberosClient—Theservicethatgeneratesthecredentialsfortheuser

andtheremoteservice.TheservicecanbeHummingbirdConnectivity

KerberosorMITKerberos.

KeyDistributionCenter(KDC)—AlsoknownastheKerberosserver.

BoththeAuthenticationServer(AS)andtheticket-grantingserver(TGS)

runontheKDC.TheASstorestheauthenticationinformationforevery

principalintheKerberosrealm.Kerberosusesthisinformationto

generatecredentials.TheTGSgrantsserviceticketstoclientswhoneed

themtocommunicatewiththeirserver.

Ticket-GrantingProcess

ToaccessaserverthatisconfiguredforKerberos,theclient

(HostExplorer)needstoprovidethisserverwithaticketwhichverifies

youridentity.

Theticket-grantingprocessisasfollows:

1. HostExplorersendsarequesttotheAuthenticationServer(AS)fora

ticket-grantingticket(TGT).

2. TheASreturnsaTGTtoHostExplorer,whichprovidesHostExplorer

withaccesstotheTGS.TheTGTisusedbyHostExplorertoobtain

serviceticketsfromtheTGSwithouthavingtoprovideapassword

eachtimeitwantstoconnecttoakerberizedservice.

3. HostExplorersendsarequesttotheTGSforaserviceticket.The

requestisappendedwiththeTGTreceivedfromtheAS.

4. TheTGSusestheTGTtoverifyHostExplorer'sidentity,andthen

issuesatickettoHostExplorerforthedesiredservice.

5. HostExplorersendstheservicetickettotheserver.Theservereither

rejectstheticketoracceptsit.Iftheserveracceptstheticket,thenthe

userisconsideredauthenticatedandtheconnectionissuccessful.

Becausetheserverticketistimestamped,HostExplorercanmake

additionalrequeststotheserverusingthissameticketforacertaintime

period(usually8hours)withouthavingtobere-authenticated.Therefore,

anattackerwhohappenstocapturetheticketcannotuseitafterthe

ticketexpires.

ConfiguringtheKerberosClient

TouseKerberostosecurecommunicationbetweenHostExplorerandthe

YoualsoneedtoconfiguretheKerberosclientforyourKerberosrealm.

Therefore,whenyouenteryourusernameatauthenticationtime,

Note:


