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.

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).

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.

Remote administrative privileges in a distributed system are disabled by default. To administer a remote system, express action is taken to elevate a user status to obtain remote administrative privileges. When local and remote systems communicate, information pertaining to the status of the logged on user is included in the communications. If the user wishes to legitimately administer a remote system, the user provides an explicit request. The request is processed. If the user is configured as an administrator of the remote system and the request contains an indication that the user's administrative status has been elevated, an authorization token is generated. The authorization token is utilized by the remote system to allow the user to administer the remote system.

A hint containing user mapping information is provided in messages that may be exchanged during authentication handshakes. For example, a client may provide user mapping information to the server during authentication. The hint (e.g., in the form of a TLS extension mechanism) may be used to send the domain/user name information of a client to aid the server in mapping the user's certificate to an account. The extension mechanism provides integrity and authenticity of the mapping data sent by the client. The user provides a hint as to where to find the right account or domain controller (which points to, or otherwise maintains, the correct account). Based on the hint and other information in the certificate, the user is mapped to an account. The hint may be provided by the user when he logs in. Thus, a certificate is mapped to an identity to authenticate the user. A hint is sent along with the certificate information to perform the binding. Existing protocols may be extended to communicate the additional mapping information (the hint) to perform the binding. A vendor specific extension to Kerberos is defined to obtain the authorization data based on an X.509 certificate and the mapping user name hint.
摘要:
Modern network communications often require a client application requesting data to authenticate itself to an application providing the data. Such authentication requests can be redundant, especially in the case of stateless network protocols. When a full authentication is performed, a conversation identifier and one or more encryption keys can be agreed upon. Subsequent authentication requests can be answered with a fast reconnect token comprising the conversation identifier and a cryptographically signed version of it using the one or more encryption keys. Should additional security be desirable, a sequence number can be established and incremented in a pre-determined or a random manner to enable detection of replayed fast reconnect tokens. If the recipient can verify the fast reconnect token, the provider can be considered to have been authenticated based on the prior authentication. If an aspect of the fast re-authentication should fail, recourse can be had to the original full authentication process.
摘要:
A client can communicate with a middle tier, which can then, in turn, communicate with a back end tier to access information and resources on behalf of the client within the context of a system that can scale well. Each individual back end can establish a policy that defines which computing device can delegate to that back end. That policy can be enforced by a domain controller within the same administrative domain as the particular back end. When a middle tier requests to delegate to a back end, the domain controller to which that request was directed can either apply the policy, or, if the domain controller is in a different domain than the targeted back end, it can direct the middle tier to a domain controller in a different domain and can sign relevant information that the middle tier can utilize when communicating with that different domain controller.
