Hello,
I've run into a GSSAPI authentication problem that has caused me a
little time to diagnose, but turns out to only occur with
sssd_pac_plugin.so present. I am not an AD, Kerberos or sssd expert, so
let me just present the information I have collected.
Our code, which uses GSSAPI, fails with the following error on a Fedora
20 box with sssd-client (sssd_pac_plugin.so) installed with the
following error codes:
major: 851968='Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more
information', minor: 22='Invalid argument'
KRB5_TRACE does not give any useful indication for what goes wrong.
With sssd-client (sssd_pac_plugin.so) removed the GSSAPI authentication
works. With KRB5_TRACE I get the following warning:
[23801] 1407018816.872001: PAC checksum verification failed:
-1765328196/Bad encryption type
Looking at the code, I find that without sssd_pac_plugin.so installed
the following verification function is used:
static krb5_error_code
mspac_verify(krb5_context kcontext,
krb5_authdata_context context,
void *plugin_context,
void *request_context,
const krb5_auth_context *auth_context,
const krb5_keyblock *key,
const krb5_ap_req *req)
{
krb5_error_code code;
struct mspac_context *pacctx = (struct mspac_context *)request_context;
if (pacctx->pac == NULL)
return EINVAL;
code = krb5_pac_verify(kcontext, pacctx->pac,
req->ticket->enc_part2->times.authtime,
req->ticket->enc_part2->client, key, NULL);
if (code != 0)
TRACE_MSPAC_VERIFY_FAIL(kcontext, code);
/*
* If the above verification failed, don't fail the whole

* server checksum at all.

return 0;
}
This incarnation of the mspac_verify() function is from

Don't reject AP-REQs based on PACs
Experience has shown that it was a mistake to fail AP-REQ verification
based on failure to verify the signature of PAC authdata contained in
the ticket. We've had two rounds of interoperability issues with the
hmac-md5 checksum code, an interoperability issue OSX generating
unsigned PACs, and another problem where PACs are copied by older KDCs
from a cross-realm TGT into the service ticket. If a PAC signature
cannot be verified, just don't mark it as verified and continue on
with the AP exchange.

With sssd-client (sssd_pac_plugin.so) installed the function
sssdpac_verify is used instead, which looks like this
(sssd-client-1.11.6-1):
static krb5_error_code sssdpac_verify(krb5_context kcontext,
krb5_authdata_context context,
void *plugin_context,
void *request_context,
const krb5_auth_context
*auth_context,
const krb5_keyblock *key,
const krb5_ap_req *req)
{
krb5_error_code kerr;
int ret;
krb5_pac pac;
struct sssd_context *sssdctx = (struct sssd_context *)request_context;
struct sss_cli_req_data sss_data;
int errnop;
if (sssdctx == NULL || sssdctx->data.data == NULL) {
return EINVAL;
}
kerr = krb5_pac_parse(kcontext, sssdctx->data.data,
sssdctx->data.length, &pac);
if (kerr != 0) {
return EINVAL;
}
kerr = krb5_pac_verify(kcontext, pac,
req->ticket->enc_part2->times.authtime,
req->ticket->enc_part2->client, key, NULL);
if (kerr != 0) {
return EINVAL;
}
sss_data.len = sssdctx->data.length;
sss_data.data = sssdctx->data.data;
ret = sss_pac_make_request(SSS_PAC_ADD_PAC_USER, &sss_data,
NULL, NULL, &errnop);
if (ret != 0) {
/* Ignore the error */
}
return 0;
}
The krb5_pac_verify header documentation from krb5.h has this to say:
* @note A checksum mismatch can occur if the PAC was copied from a
cross-realm
* TGT by an ignorant KDC; also Apple Mac OS X Server Open Directory (as of
* 10.6) generates PACs with no server checksum at all. One should
consider
* not failing the whole authentication because of this reason, but,
instead,
* treating the ticket as if it did not contain a PAC or marking the PAC
* information as non-verified.
So, sssdpac_verify() treats krb5_pack_verify() errors as fatal, whereas
krb5's mspac_verify() does not. This is all the information that I have
gathered. It looks to me like sssd-client (sssd_pac_plugin.so) is not
doing this right, but I'm looking forward to your comments.

Thomas
