An exemplary group ticket for a Kerberos protocol includes a service ticket encrypted with a dynamic group key and a plurality of enveloped pairs where each pair includes a name associated with a member of a group and an encrypted the dynamic group key for decryption by a key possessed by the member of the group where decryption of an encrypted dynamic group key allows for decryption of the service ticket. Other exemplary methods, systems, etc., are also disclosed.

Architecture for natively authenticating a client application to a web server via HTTP authentication. The Web Services Architecture, and more specifically, Web Services Security, is leveraged to enable legacy applications to access web services transparently to the existing legacy applications. A security support provider (SSP) is created that employs WS-* protocol to at least emulate ws-trust and ws-mex thereby enabling policy exchange via an HTTP protocol stack. Policy can be exchanged via a WWW-Authenticate header enabling legacy applications to use the WS-* family of protocols without modifying the client application. The WS-* protocols are abstracted into a generic programming interface for native client application use.
摘要:
This disclosure describes methods, systems and application programming interfaces for creating an advanced security negotiation package. This disclosure describes creating an advanced security negotiation protocol under a Simple and Protected Negotiation Mechanism (SPNEGO) protocol to negotiate an authentication scheme. The protocol describes defining a Windows Security Type (WST) Library message to protect negotiation data during the advanced security negotiation protocol. The protocol sends an initial message that carries multiple authentication messages to reduce redundant roundtrips and implements key exchanges by a mini Security Support Provider (SSP).

A credential security support provider (Cred SSP) is provided that enables any application to securely delegate a user's credentials from the client, via client side Security Support Provider (SSP) software, to a target server, via server side SSP software in a networked computing environment. The Cred SSP of the invention provides a secure solution that is based in part upon a set of policies, including a default policy that is secure against a broad range of attacks, which are used to control and restrict the delegation of user credentials from a client to a server. The policies can be for any type of user credentials and the different policies are designed to mitigate a broad range of attacks so that appropriate delegation can occur for given delegation circumstances, network conditions, trust levels, etc. Additionally, only a trusted subsystem, e.g., a trusted subsystem of the Local Security Authority (LSA), has access to the clear text credentials such that neither the calling application of the Cred SSP APIs on the server side nor the calling application of the Cred SSP APIs on the client side have access to clear text credentials.

摘要:
A credential is translated with one of different credential provider modules each translating a corresponding different type of credential into a common protocol. The translated credential is communicated through an API to a logon UI module to an operating system (OS) of a local machine. An OS logon module is called by the logon UI module to authenticate the translated credential against a credential database. A user identified by the translated credential is logged on to access the local machine when the authentication is successful. The credential can also be used with a selection received from the logon UI module via a corresponding one of different pre-log access provider (PLAP) modules that each communicate with the API. The API establishes a network session with an access service specified by the selected PLAP module when the credential is authenticated with the credential database.
摘要:
Systems and/or methods are described that enable a credential interface. These systems and/or methods may build a credential user interface enabling a user to choose between multiple credentials and submit an authenticator for a chosen credential. These systems and/or methods may also gather information about arbitrary credentials and build a user interface for submission of authenticators for these arbitrary credentials.
