6@section Making things work on Ciscos

8Modern versions of Cisco IOS has some support for authenticating via
9Kerberos 5. This can be used both by having the router get a ticket when
10you login (boring), and by using Kerberos authenticated telnet to access
11your router (less boring). The following has been tested on IOS
1211.2(12), things might be different with other versions. Old versions
13are known to have bugs.
14
15To make this work, you will first have to configure your router to use
16Kerberos (this is explained in the documentation). A sample
17configuration looks like the following:
18
19@example
20aaa new-model
21aaa authentication login default krb5-telnet krb5 enable
22aaa authorization exec krb5-instance
23kerberos local-realm FOO.SE
24kerberos srvtab entry host/router.foo.se 0 891725446 4 1 8 012345678901234567
25kerberos server FOO.SE 10.0.0.1
26kerberos instance map admin 15
27@end example
28
29This tells you (among other things) that when logging in, the router
30should try to authenticate with kerberised telnet, and if that fails try
31to verify a plain text password via a Kerberos ticket exchange (as
32opposed to a local database, RADIUS or something similar), and if that
33fails try the local enable password. If you're not careful when you
34specify the `login default' authentication mechanism, you might not be
35able to login at all. The `instance map' and `authorization exec' lines
36says that people with `admin' instances should be given `enabled' shells
37when logging in.
38
39The numbers after the principal on the `srvtab' line are principal type,
40time stamp (in seconds since 1970), key version number (4), keytype (1 ==
41des), key length (always 8 with des), and then the key.
42
43To make the Heimdal KDC produce tickets that the Cisco can decode you
44might have to turn on the @samp{encode_as_rep_as_tgs_rep} flag in the
45KDC. You will also have to specify that the router can't handle anything
46but @samp{des-cbc-crc}. This can be done with the @samp{del_enctype}
47command of @samp{kadmin}.
48
49This all fine and so, but unless you have an IOS version with encryption
50(available only in the U.S) it doesn't really solve any problems. Sure
51you don't have to send your password over the wire, but since the telnet
52connection isn't protected it's still possible for someone to steal your
53session. This won't be fixed until someone adds integrity to the telnet
54protocol.
55
56A working solution would be to hook up a machine with a real operating
57system to the console of the Cisco and then use it as a backwards
58terminal server.

60@section Making things work on Transarc/OpenAFS AFS
61
62@subsection How to get a KeyFile
63
64@file{ktutil -k AFSKEYFILE:KeyFile get afs@@MY.REALM}
65
66or you can extract it with kadmin
67
68@example
69kadmin> ext -k AFSKEYFILE:/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile afs@@My.CELL.NAME
70@end example
71
72You have to make sure you have a @code{des-cbc-md5} encryption type since that
73is the key that will be converted.
74
75@subsection How to convert a srvtab to a KeyFile
76
77You need a @file{/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell} containing the cellname of you
78AFS-cell.
79
80@file{ktutil copy krb4:/root/afs-srvtab AFSKEYFILE:/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile}.
81
82If keyfile already exists, this will add the new key in afs-srvtab to
83KeyFile.

85@section Using 2b tokens with AFS
86
87@subsection What is 2b ?
88
892b is the name of the proposal that was implemented to give basic
90Kerberos 5 support to AFS in rxkad. Its not real Kerberos 5 support
91since it still uses fcrypt for data encryption and not Kerberos
92encryption types.
93
94Its only possible (in all cases) to do this for DES encryption types because
95only then the token (the AFS equivalent of a ticket) will be be smaller
96than the maximum size that can fit in the token cache in
97OpenAFS/Transarc client. Its so tight fit that some extra wrapping on the ASN1/DER encoding is removed from the Kerberos ticket.
98
992b uses a Kerberos 5 EncTicketPart instead of a Kerberos 4 ditto for
100the part of the ticket that is encrypted with the service's key. The
101client doesn't know what's inside the encrypted data so to the client it doesn't matter.
102
103To  differentiate between Kerberos 4 tickets and Kerberos 5 tickets 2b
104uses a special kvno, 213 for 2b tokens and 255 for Kerberos 5 tokens.
105
106Its a requirement that all AFS servers that support 2b also support
107native Kerberos 5 in rxkad.
108
109@subsection Configuring Heimdal to use 2b tokens
110
111Support for 2b tokens are turned on for specific principals by adding
112them to the string list option @code{[kdc]use_2b} in the kdc's
113@file{krb5.conf} file.
114
115@example
116[kdc]
117	use_2b = @{
118		afs@@SU.SE = yes
119		afs/it.su.se@@SU.SE = yes
120	@}
121@end example
122
123@subsection Configuring AFS clients
124
125There is no need to configure AFS clients. The only software that
126needs to be installed/upgrade is a Kerberos 5 enabled @file{afslog}.
