7Windows 2000 (formerly known as Windows NT 5) from Microsoft implements
8Kerberos 5.  Their implementation, however, has some quirks,
9peculiarities, and bugs.  This chapter is a short summary of the things
10that we have found out while trying to test Heimdal against Windows
112000.  Another big problem with the Kerberos implementation in Windows
122000 is that the available documentation is more focused on getting
13things to work rather than how they work and not that useful in figuring
14out how things really work.
15
16This information should apply to Heimdal @value{VERSION} and Windows
172000 Professional.  It's of course subject all the time and mostly consists of
18our not so inspired guesses.  Hopefully it's still somewhat useful.

32@section Configuring Windows 2000 to use a Heimdal KDC
33
34You need the command line program called @code{ksetup.exe} which is available
35in the file @code{SUPPORT/TOOLS/SUPPORT.CAB} on the Windows 2000 Professional
36CD-ROM. This program is used to configure the Kerberos settings on a
37Workstation.
38
39@code{Ksetup} store the domain information under the registry key:
40@code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\Kerberos\Domains}.
41
42Use the kadmin program in Heimdal to create a host principal in the
43Kerberos realm.
44
45@example
46unix% kadmin
47kadmin> ank -pw password host/datan.my.domain
48@end example
49
50You must configure the Workstation as a member of a workgroup, as opposed
51to a member in an NT domain, and specify the KDC server of the realm
52as follows:
53@example
54C:> ksetup /setdomain MY.REALM
55C:> ksetup /addkdc MY.REALM kdc.my.domain
56@end example
57
58Set the machine password, i.e. create the local keytab:
59@example
60C:> ksetup /setmachpassword password
61@end example
62
63The workstation must now be rebooted.
64
65A mapping between local NT users and Kerberos principals must be specified,
66you have two choices:
67
68@example
69C:> ksetup /mapuser user@@MY.REALM nt_user
70@end example
71
72This will map a user to a specific principal, this allows you to have
73other usernames in the realm than in your NT user database. (Don't ask
74me why on earth you would want that...)
75
76You can also say:
77@example
78C:> ksetup /mapuser * *
79@end example
80The Windows machine will now map any user to the corresponding principal,
81for example @samp{nisse} to the principal @samp{nisse@@MY.REALM}.
82(This is most likely what you want.)

86@section Inter-Realm keys (trust) between Windows 2000 and a Heimdal KDC
87
88See also the Step-by-Step guide from Microsoft, referenced below.
89
90Install Windows 2000, and create a new controller (Active Directory
91Server) for the domain.
92
93By default the trust will be non-transitive. This means that only users
94directly from the trusted domain may authenticate. This can be changed
95to transitive by using the @code{netdom.exe} tool.
96
97You need to tell Windows 2000 on what hosts to find the KDCs for the
98non-Windows realm with @code{ksetup}, see @xref{Configuring Windows 2000
99to use a Heimdal KDC}.
100
101This need to be done on all computers that want enable cross-realm
102login with @code{Mapped Names}.
103
104Then you need to add the inter-realm keys on the Windows kdc. Start the
105Domain Tree Management tool. (Found in Programs, Administrative tools,
106Active Directory Domains and Trusts).
107
108Right click on Properties of your domain, select the Trust tab.  Press
109Add on the appropriate trust windows and enter domain name and
110password. When prompted if this is a non-Windows Kerberos realm, press
111OK.
112
113Do not forget to add trusts in both directions.
114
115You also need to add the inter-realm keys to the Heimdal KDC. There are
116some tweaks that you need to do to @file{krb5.conf} beforehand.
117
118@example
119[libdefaults]
120	default_etypes = des-cbc-crc
121	default_etypes_des = des-cbc-crc
122@end example
123
124since otherwise checksum types that are not understood by Windows 2000
125will be generated (@xref{Quirks of Windows 2000 KDC}.).
126
127Another issue is salting.  Since Windows 2000 does not seem to
128understand Kerberos 4 salted hashes you might need to turn off anything
129similar to the following if you have it, at least while adding the
130principals that are going to share keys with Windows 2000.
131
132@example
133	[kadmin]default_keys = v5 v4
134@end example
135
136You must also set:
137
138Once that is also done, you can add the required inter-realm keys:
139
140@example
141kadmin add krbtgt/NT.REALM.EXAMPLE.COM@@EXAMPLE.COM
142kadmin add krbtgt/REALM.EXAMPLE.COM@@NT.EXAMPLE.COM
143@end example
144
145Use the same passwords for both keys.
146
147Do not forget to reboot before trying the new realm-trust (after running
148@code{ksetup}). It looks like it might work, but packets are never sent to the
149non-Windows KDC.

165@section Encryption types
166
167Windows 2000 supports both the standard DES encryptions (des-cbc-crc and
168des-cbc-md5) and its own proprietary encryption that is based on MD4 and
169rc4 that is documented in and is supposed to be described in
170@file{draft-brezak-win2k-krb-rc4-hmac-03.txt}.  New users will get both
171MD4 and DES keys.  Users that are converted from a NT4 database, will
172only have MD4 passwords and will need a password change to get a DES
173key.
174
175Heimdal implements both of these encryption types, but since DES is the
176standard and the hmac-code is somewhat newer, it is likely to work better.

179@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
180@section Authorization data
181
182The Windows 2000 KDC also adds extra authorization data in tickets.
183It is at this point unclear what triggers it to do this.  The format of
184this data is only available under a ``secret'' license from Microsoft,
185which prohibits you implementing it.
186
187A simple way of getting hold of the data to be able to understand it
188better is described here.

191@item Find the client example on using the SSPI in the SDK documentation.
192@item Change ``AuthSamp'' in the source code to lowercase.
193@item Build the program.
194@item Add the ``authsamp'' principal with a known password to the
195database.  Make sure it has a DES key.
196@item Run @kbd{ktutil add} to add the key for that principal to a
197keytab.
198@item Run @kbd{appl/test/nt_gss_server -p 2000 -s authsamp
199--dump-auth=file} where file is an appropriate file.
200@item It should authenticate and dump for you the authorization data in
201the file.
202@item The tool @kbd{lib/asn1/asn1_print} is somewhat useful for
203analyzing the data.

209
210There are some issues with salts and Windows 2000.  Using an empty salt,
211which is the only one that Kerberos 4 supported and is therefore known
212as a Kerberos 4 compatible salt does not work, as far as we can tell
213from out experiments and users reports.  Therefore, you have to make
214sure you keep around keys with all the different types of salts that are
215required.
216
217Microsoft seems also to have forgotten to implement the checksum
218algorithms @samp{rsa-md4-des} and @samp{rsa-md5-des}. This can make Name
219mapping (@pxref{Create account mappings}) fail if a @code{des-cbc-md5} key
220is used. To make the KDC return only @code{des-cbc-crc} you must delete
221the @code{des-cbc-md5} key from the kdc using the @code{kadmin
222del_enctype} command.
223
224@example
225kadmin del_enctype lha des-cbc-md5
226@end example
227
228You should also add the following entries to the @file{krb5.conf} file:
229
230@example
231[libdefaults]
232	default_etypes = des-cbc-crc
233	default_etypes_des = des-cbc-crc
234@end example
235
236These configuration options will make sure that no checksums of the
237unsupported types are generated.
