Kerberos Version 5, Release 1.17 Release Notes The MIT Kerberos Team Copyright and Other Notices --------------------------- Copyright (C) 1985-2019 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and its contributors. All rights reserved. Please see the file named NOTICE for additional notices. Documentation ------------- Unified documentation for Kerberos V5 is available in both HTML and PDF formats. The table of contents of the HTML format documentation is at doc/html/index.html, and the PDF format documentation is in the doc/pdf directory. Additionally, you may find copies of the HTML format documentation online at http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/ for the most recent supported release, or at http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/ for the release under development. More information about Kerberos may be found at http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ and at the MIT Kerberos Consortium web site http://kerberos.org/ Building and Installing Kerberos 5 ---------------------------------- Build documentation is in doc/html/build/index.html or doc/pdf/build.pdf. The installation guide is in doc/html/admin/install.html or doc/pdf/install.pdf. If you are attempting to build under Windows, please see the src/windows/README file. Reporting Bugs -------------- Please report any problems/bugs/comments by sending email to krb5-bugs@mit.edu. You may view bug reports by visiting http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/ and using the "Guest Login" button. Please note that the web interface to our bug database is read-only for guests, and the primary way to interact with our bug database is via email. DES transition -------------- The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away from using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a configuration variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false" beginning with krb5-1.8. Major changes in 1.17 (2019-01-08) ---------------------------------- Administrator experience: * A new Kerberos database module using the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database library (LMDB) has been added. The LMDB KDB module should be more performant and more robust than the DB2 module, and may become the default module for new databases in a future release. * "kdb5_util dump" will no longer dump policy entries when specific principal names are requested. Developer experience: * The new krb5_get_etype_info() API can be used to retrieve enctype, salt, and string-to-key parameters from the KDC for a client principal. * The new GSS_KRB5_NT_ENTERPRISE_NAME name type allows enterprise principal names to be used with GSS-API functions. * KDC and kadmind modules which call com_err() will now write to the log file in a format more consistent with other log messages. * Programs which use large numbers of memory credential caches should perform better. Protocol evolution: * The SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism is now supported. This mechanism protects against password dictionary attacks without requiring any additional infrastructure such as certificates. SPAKE is enabled by default on clients, but must be manually enabled on the KDC for this release. * PKINIT freshness tokens are now supported. Freshness tokens can protect against scenarios where an attacker uses temporary access to a smart card to generate authentication requests for the future. * Password change operations now prefer TCP over UDP, to avoid spurious error messages about replays when a response packet is dropped. * The KDC now supports cross-realm S4U2Self requests when used with a third-party KDB module such as Samba's. The client code for cross-realm S4U2Self requests is also now more robust. User experience: * The new ktutil addent -f flag can be used to fetch salt information from the KDC for password-based keys. * The new kdestroy -p option can be used to destroy a credential cache within a collection by client principal name. * The Kerberos man page has been restored, and documents the environment variables that affect programs using the Kerberos library. Code quality: * Python test scripts now use Python 3. * Python test scripts now display markers in verbose output, making it easier to find where a failure occurred within the scripts. * The Windows build system has been simplified and updated to work with more recent versions of Visual Studio. A large volume of unused Windows-specific code has been removed. Visual Studio 2013 or later is now required. krb5-1.17 changes by ticket ID ------------------------------ 7905 Password changes can result in replay error 8202 memory ccache cursors are invalidated
