The Windows 2000 Kerberos change + password protocol interoperates with the original Kerberos change + password protocol. Change password is a request reply protocol that + includes a KRB_PRIV message that contains the new password for the + user. + +1. Introduction + + Microsoft's Windows 2000 Kerberos change password protocol + interoperates with the original Kerberos change password protocol. + Change password is a request reply protocol that includes a KRB_PRIV + message that contains the new password for the user. The original + change password protocol does not allow an administrator to set a + password for a new user. This functionality is useful in some + environments, and this proposal extends the change password protocol + to allow password setting. The changes are: adding new fields to the + request message to indicate the principal which is having its + password set, not requiring the initial flag in the service ticket, + using a new protocol version number, and adding three new result + codes. + + + + + + +Swift, et al. Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 3244 Microsoft Windows 2000 Kerberos Change & Set February 2002 + + +2. The Protocol + + The service accepts requests on UDP port 464 and TCP port 464 as + well. The protocol consists of a single request message followed by + a single reply message. For UDP transport, each message must be + fully contained in a single UDP packet. + + For TCP transport, there is a 4 octet header in network byte order + that precedes the message and specifies the length of the message. + + Request Message + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | message length | protocol version number | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | AP_REQ length | AP_REQ data / + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + / KRB-PRIV message / + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + All 16 bit fields are in big-endian order. + + message length field: contains the number of bytes in the message + including this field. + + protocol version number: contains the hex constant 0xff80 (big-endian + integer). + + AP-REQ length: length of AP-REQ data, in bytes. If the length is + zero, then the last field contains a KRB-ERROR message instead of a + KRB-PRIV message. + + AP-REQ data: (see [1]) The AP-REQ message must be for the service + principal kadmin/changepw@REALM, where REALM is the REALM of the user + who wishes to change/set his password. The authenticator in the AP- + REQ must include a subsession key. (NOTE: The subsession key must be + pseudo-randomly generated and must never be reused for multiple + authenticators.) To enable setting of passwords, it is not required + that the initial flag be set in the Kerberos service ticket. + + KRB-PRIV message (see [1]) This user-data field in the KRB-PRIV + message is encrypted using the subkey from the authenticator in the + AP-REQ data. The usec and seq-number fields of the KRB_PRIV message + are present and have the same value as the seq-number field in the + + + + + +Swift, et al. Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3244 Microsoft Windows 2000 Kerberos Change & Set February 2002 + + + authenticator from the AP_REQ message (the seq-number in the + authenticator will be present). The server ignores the optional + r-address field in the KRB_PRIV message, if it is present. + + The user-data component of the message consists of the following + ASN.1 structure encoded as an OCTET STRING: + + ChangePasswdData ::= SEQUENCE { + newpasswd[0] OCTET STRING, + targname[1] PrincipalName OPTIONAL, + targrealm[2] Realm OPTIONAL + } + + The server must verify the AP-REQ message, check whether the client + principal in the ticket is authorized to set/change the password + (either for that principal, or for the principal in the targname + field if present), and decrypt the new password. The server also + checks whether the initial flag is required for this request, + replying with status 0x0007 if it is not set and should be. An + authorization failure is cause to respond with status 0x0005. For + forward compatibility, the server should be prepared to ignore fields + after targrealm in the structure that it does not understand. + + The newpasswd field contains the cleartext password, and the server + will apply any local policy checks including password policy checks. + The server then generates the appropriate keytypes from the password + and stores them in the KDC database. If all goes well, status 0x0000 + is returned to the client in the reply message (see below). + + Reply Message + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | message length | protocol version number | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | AP_REP length | AP-REP data / + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + / KRB-PRIV message / + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + All 16 bit fields are in big-endian order. + + message length field: contains the number of bytes in the message + including this field. + + + + + + +Swift, et al.
