Internet-Draft GSS-API Naming Extensions May 2005
1. Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Introduction
As described in [I-D.GSS-NAMING] the GSS-API's naming architecture
suffers from certain limitations. This document proposes concrete
GSS-API extensions as outlined in [I-D.GSS-NAMING].
A number of extensions to the GSS-API are described herein with the
goal of making authorization information, and other information that
can be modelled as "name attributes" available as such to
applications. For example, Kerberos V authorization data elements,
both, in their raw forms as well as mapped to more useful value
types, can be made available to GSS-API applications through these
interfaces.
The model is that GSS names have attributes. The attributes of a
name may be authenticated by the credential whence the name comes, or
may have been set locally on a GSS name for the purpose of
"asserting" the attribute during credential acquisition or security
context exchange. Name attributes' values are network
representations thereof (e.g., the actual value octets of the
contents of an X.509 certificate extension, for example) and are
intended to be useful for constructing portable access control
facilities. Applications may often require language- or platform-
specific data types, rather than network representations of name
attributes, so a function is provided to obtain objects of such types
associated with names and name attributes.
3. Name Attribute Sources and Criticality
A given GSS name object's name attributes may be authenticated or
asserted by an associated credential, or it may be mapped or derived
from another attribute of the same name.
That a given name's given attribute is 'mapped' means that it was
obtained through some mapping mechanism applied to another attribute
of the name that was not, itself, mapped. For example, such
attributes as platform-specific internal identifiers may sometimes be
mapped from other name attributes.
Name attributes may be "critical," meaning that applications that do
not understand them MUST reject security contexts where the peer has
such unknown, critical attributes.
Williams Expires November 14, 2005 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft GSS-API Naming Extensions May 2005
4. Name Attributes/Values as ACL Subjects
Some name attributes (e.g., numeric user or group identifiers) may be
useful as subjects of access control list (ACL) entries, some may not
(e.g., time of day login restrictions). The
GSS_Inquire_name_attribute() function indicates this.
To facilitate the development of portable applications that make use
of name attributes to construct and evaluate portable ACLs the GSS-
API makes name attribute values available in canonical network
encodings thereof.
To facilitate the development of platform- or language-specific
applications that need access to native types of representations of
name attributes an optional facility is provided,
GSS_Map_name_to_any().
5. Mapping Mechanism Facilities to Name Attributes
[NOTE: This entire section should probably be split into one or more
separate Internet-Drafts. It is here in the -00 of this I-D to help
readers understand how to mechanism-specific name attributes would be
accessed through these GSS-API extensions.]
Kerberos V [I-D.ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-clarifications] and the Simple
Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism, SPKM [RFC2025], both support the
concept and encoding of containers of "authorization-data" as
described in [I-D.ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-clarifications].
PKIX [RFC3280] supports a number of authorization-data-like features,
like Extended Key Usage values (EKUs) and certificate extensions.
The authorization data can be accessed through the GSS-API name
attributes facility defined herein.
5.1 Kerberos V and SPKM Authorization-Data
Authorization-data non-container elements asserted in Kerberos V AP-
REQ Authenticators MUST be mapped into *asserted* GSS-API name
attributes; if not contained in AD-IF-RELEVANT then they MUST be
mapped into *critical* GSS-API name attributes. AD-AND-OR
authorization-data elements MUST be mapped into a single *critical*
attribute, (TBD).
Authorization-data included in Kerberos V Tickets that is not
contained in AD-KDCIssued (with valid signature) MUST be mapped into
*asserted* GSS-API name attributes. Conversely, authorization-data
elements in Kerberos V Tickets contained by AD-KDCIssued MUST be
Williams Expires November 14, 2005 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft GSS-API Naming Extensions May 2005
mapped into *authenticated* GSS-API name attributes
As with authorization-data elements in Authenticators, authorization-
data elements in Tickets not contained in AD-IF-RELEVANT are to be
mapped to *critical* name attributes, and similarly with AD-AND-OR
(see above).
The OIDs for authorization-data elements are to be the authorization-
data element's 'ad-type' integer ID, relative to the base OID <TBD>
[NOTE: what about negative ad-type's? OID arcs are positive
integers... ad-type is an Int32, so clearly something can be done.]
5.2 Kerberos V Cross-Realm Transit Paths
[Add text on how to represent/encode/interpret krb5 realm transit
paths as name attribute values. And text on PKINIT too... Basically
Ticket's 'transited' field should be exposed as an authenticated name
attribute, with some uncompressed encoding, possibly encompassing
certificate validation paths of client certs used for PKINIT, with
criticality determined by the presence of the transit-policy-checked
flag.]
5.3 PKIX Certificate Extensions
[NOTE: In the Kerberos V authorization-data case we can tell when AD
elements are "authenticated" and when the are asserted, but what
about x.509 certificate extensions? Clearly KU, EKUs and
subjectAltNames are authenticated in that no CA should sign a cert
with, say, arbitrary subjectAltNames not understood by the CA, but,
does that also apply to all other x.509 certificate extensions? The
answer may depend on actual CA operator practices... At worst a new
extension may be needed, like Kerberos V's AD-KDCIssued AD container
element; at best this text can just say "all cert extensions MUST be
mapped to authenticated..." below.]
PKI certificate extensions MAY/SHOULD/MUST (see comment above) be
mapped to *authenticated* GSS-API name attributes with the _same_
OIDs, and if they be marked critical in the certificate then they
MUST be mapped as *critical* GSS-API name attributes.
SubjectAltNames and EKUs, specifically, MUST be mapped to
*authenticated* GSS-API name attributes; see below. Certificate
extensions MUST be mapped to GSS-API name attributes whose OIDs are
the same as the extensions'
5.3.1 PKIX EKUs
Extended Key Usage extensions, specifically, MUST be mapped as
described above, except that GSS-API name attributes for EKUs MUST
Williams Expires November 14, 2005 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft GSS-API Naming Extensions May 2005
have NULL values (i.e., zero-length OCTET STRINGs).
PKI certificate key usages (KUs, but not EKUs), MUST NOT be mapped to
GSS-API name attributes.
5.3.2 PKIX Certificate Alternative Names
PKI certificate subjectAltNames MUST be mapped as *authenticated*,
*non-critical* GSS-API name attributes.
PKI certificate extensions MUST be mapped to *authenticated* GSS-API
name attributes with the _same_ OIDs, and if they be marked critical
in the certificate then they MUST be mapped as *critical* GSS-API
name attributes.
Extended Key Usage extensions, specifically, MUST be mapped as
described above, except that GSS-API name attributes for EKUs MUST
have NULL values (i.e., zero-length OCTET STRINGs).
5.3.3 Other PKIX Certificate Extensions and Attributes
[Add text...]
5.4 PKIX Certificate CA Paths and Trust Anchors
[Add text on how to represent/encode/interpret PKI certificate
validation CA paths as name attribute values, much as with Kerberos V
transited paths.]

o GSS_S_COMPLETE indicates no error.
o GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE indicates that the given attribute OID is not
known (even if present as a name's attribute).
o GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.
This function outputs a name for the given name attribute,
description for display to users, indicates whether the given name
attribute's values are useful as the subject of an access control
list entry and/or whether the given name attribute's values are
useful as indicators of trust (for example, whether they name PKIX
trust anchors).

o GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE indicates that the given name could not be
displayed using the syntax of the given name type.
o GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.
This function displays a given name using the given name syntax, if
possible. This operation may require mapping MNs to generic name
syntaxes or generic name syntaxes to mechanism-specific name
syntaxes; such mappings may not always be feasible and MAY be inexact
or lossy.

o GSS_S_COMPLETE indicates no error.
o GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.
This function outputs the sets of attributes of a name, that are

Internet-Draft GSS-API Naming Extensions May 2005
o GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.
This function outputs the value(s) associated with a given GSS name
object for a given name attribute.
9.1 C-Bindings
The C-bindings of GSS_Get_name_attribute() requires one function call
per-attribute value, for multi-valued name attributes. This is done
by using a single gss_buffer_t for each value and an input/output
integer parameter to distinguish initial and subsequent calls and to
indicate when all values have been obtained.
The 'more' input/output parameter should point to an integer variable
whose value, on first call to gss_name_attribute_get() MUST be -1,
and whose value upon function call return will be non-zero to
indicate that additional values remain, or zero to indicate that no
values remain. The caller should not modify this parameter after the
initial call.

This function outputs a token which can be imported with
GSS_Import_name(), using GSS_C_NT_COMPOSITE_EXPORT as the name type
and which preserves any name attribute information associated with
the input name (which GSS_Export_name() may well not). The token
format is no specified here as this facility is intended for inter-
process communication only; however, all such tokens MUST start with
a two-octet token ID, hex 04 02, in network byte order.
The OID for GSS_C_NT_COMPOSITE_EXPORT is <TBD>.

15. IANA Considerations
This document creates a namespace of GSS-API name attributes.
Attributes are named by OID, so no single authority might be needed
for allocation, however, in the interest of providing the community
with an authority for name attribute OID allocation and a way to find
the existing set of name attributes, the IANA should establish both,
a single OID off of which name attributes could be allocated, and a
registry of known GSS name attributes.
GSS-API name attribute registry entries should contain all the
information that GSS_Inquire_name_attribute() may return about the
given name attributes and their OIDs:
o a name attribute OID (this is a unique key)
o a name attribute symbolic name, starting with "GSS_C_NA_" (this is
a unique key)
o a brief description, in English
o whether the attribute is useful as the subject of access control
list entries
o whether the attribute is useful as an indicator of trust
o an optional normative reference to documentation for the given
name attribute
The allocation and registration policy should be first come, first
served. Registry entries' OIDs need not be based on the base OID
given above.
16. Security Considerations
<TBA>
[In particular, the status of a name attribute as "authenticated" vs.
"asserted" requires close review, particularly with respect to PKIX
certificate extensions.]
